Dr Toh, comprehending causes and effects of power and control which are present but hidden in education, interweaves historical precursors, practices and perceptions, and experience as a teacher and parent. The result has been for me a gleaning of wisdom and an investment with insight.? ?Paul McBride, Tamagawa University, Japan ?With more and more Japanese choosing to leave the archipelago to live and work abroad, the notion of Japaneseness remains ever more relevant for its educational institutions. Parents may find themselves asking how children might be educated to both affirm the national sense of homogeneity but also to celebrate emergent forms of cultural identity ushered in through transnational trends and flows. The author does an exceedingly good job in addressing these questions.? ?Joff P. N. Bradley, Teikyo University, Japan This book analyses how children from transnational Japanese-Singaporean families are educated. The author demonstrates that the negotiated educational pathways of these children have significant bearing on the ways in which individual identities of mixedness may be constructed or contested ? where notions of mixedness are necessarily recognised for their inherent fluidity, contextuality and contingency. This interdisciplinary book will be of interest to students and scholars across the fields of education, neoliberalism, globalization, multiculturalism, mobility and cross-border migration.
