Negotiating difference and cultural minoritization: Chinese migrant workers in Singapore's Little India

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    Temporary labour migration has overtaken permanent migration in many countries. This phenomenon is particularly acute in the small city-state of Singapore which has one of largest non-resident population in the world and a majority is on temporary employment visas. Their employment contracts allow them to reside in Singapore between 3 and 5 years. Temporary migration produces fleeting and disjunctive contact with cultural difference.
