Ien Ang delves into the complexities of identity amid globalization and diaspora, examining the cultural tensions between Asia and the West. She explores the evolving concept of Chineseness and Australia's paradoxical identity as a Western nation within an Asian context. Ang reflects on Australia's historical and current interactions with its Asian neighbors, moving from the White Australia policy to a multicultural society. Ultimately, she advocates for a perspective that emphasizes togetherness rather than difference in understanding contemporary social dynamics.
