Expatriate Identities in Postcolonial Organizations offers a timely and contemporary discussion of the role of organizations in maintaining or challenging structures and cultures based on racism and discrimination, through an exploration of the relations between whiteness. identity and organization in migratory contexts.With close attention to the experiences of expatriates in Hong Kong, and the ways in which new identities are constructed in the destinations of migration, it explores the renegotiation of white identities and racialized relationships, and the extent to which colonial imaginations still inform contemporary organizations as well as the manner in which both lifestyle migration and expatriation may maintain iniquitous racialized power relations.Drawing on existing theoretical and empirical material on postcolonialism, identity-making, privileged migration, relocation, transnational work and organizations, this volume brings disparate discussions together in a new and accessible way. As such, Expatriate Identities in Postcolonial Organizations will appeal to scholars across a range of social sciences, including social theory, the sociology of work and organizations, the sociology of race and ethnicity, as well as to those working in the fields of migration, gender studies and cultural geography.This is an engaging, lucid and vivid description of expatriate lives, as well as a stimulating and legitimate challenge to abstract and macro perspectives on the `cosmopolitan class'. It provides a hugely important and incredibly well-informed contribution to literature in the fields of globalization, transnationalism and, especially, labour migration.
