Service providers, bureaucrats, and employers exhort them to be self-reliant, individualistic, and free, even as the system and the culture constrain them within terms of ethnicity, race, and class. Buddha Is Hiding tells the story of Cambodian Americans experiencing American citizenship from the bottom-up. Based on extensive fieldwork in Oakland and San Francisco, the study puts a human face on how American institutions-of health, welfare, law, police, church, and industry-affect minority citizens as they negotiate American culture and re-interpret the American dream. In her earlier book, Flexible Citizenship, anthropologist Aihwa Ong wrote of elite Asians shuttling across the Pacific. This parallel study tells the very different story of "the other Asians" whose route takes them from refugee camps to California's inner-city and high-tech enclaves. In Buddha Is Hiding we see these refugees becoming new citizen-subjects through a dual process of being-made and self-making, balancing religious salvation and entrepreneurial values as they endure and undermine, absorb and deflect conflicting lessons about welfare, work, medicine, gender, parenting, and mass culture. Trying to hold on to the values of family and home culture, Cambodian Americans nonetheless often feel that "Buddha is hiding." Tracing the entangled paths of poor and rich Asians in the American nation, Ong raises new questions about the form and meaning of citizenship in an era of globalization. 410 0$aCalifornia series in public anthropology ;$v5. 606 $aCambodian Americans$zCalifornia$zOakland$xSocial conditions 606 $aCambodian Americans$zCalifornia$zOakland$xEthnic identity 606 $aCambodian Americans$xCivil rights$zCalifornia$zOakland 606 $aRefugees$zCalifornia$zOakland$xSocial conditions 606 $aRefugees$xCivil rights$zCalifornia$zOakland 606 $aCitizenship$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$vCase studies 607 $aOakland (Calif.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aOakland (Calif.)$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCambodian Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aCambodian Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aCambodian Americans$xCivil rights 615 0$aRefugees$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aRefugees$xCivil rights 615 0$aCitizenship$xSocial aspects 676 $a305.895/93079466 700 $aOng$b Aihwa$0622540 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449844703321 996 $aBuddha is hiding$91772750 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01341nas 2200421-a 450 001 996336719903316 005 20240413012147.0 035 $a(CKB)954921397096 035 $a(CONSER)---83647643- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954921397096 100 $a19830422b19831995 --- a 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aBanking world 210 $aLondon $cPublished ... for the Institute of Bankers by Waterlow Publishers Ltd.$dİ1983- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aTitle from cover. 311 08$aPrint version: Banking world. 0737-6413 (DLC) 83647643 (OCoLC)9438807 606 $aBanks and banking$vPeriodicals 606 $aBanks and banking$zGreat Britain$vPeriodicals 606 $aBanks and banking$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00826867 606 $aInternationaal bankwezen$2gtt 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 615 0$aBanks and banking 615 0$aBanks and banking 615 7$aBanks and banking. 615 17$aInternationaal bankwezen. 676 $a332.1/05 712 02$aInstitute of Bankers (Great Britain) 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996336719903316 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aBanking world$9799471 997 $aUNISA
