Fiona Moore is a professor in the School of
Business and Management at Royal Holloway University of
London.
" Global Taiwanese is a thoughtful study of skilled labour
migration and Asian identity in the twenty-first century that
suggests new ways of looking at culture and ethnicity, and
challenges the notion that we are seeing the end of globalization.
It is also a very enjoyable read!"--Anne-Wil Harzing, Professor of
International Management, Middlesex University London
"Fiona Moore's writing goes straight to the heart of the many
puzzles posed by the flexible but confounding mix of multiple
identities performed by the Taiwanese which can be simultaneously
local, national, and global. Her narrative is original and lucid,
handling the troublesome analytic problems surrounding multiple
identities with ease, making them both plain and concrete. In a
phrase, Global Taiwanese is a must-read for anyone seeking to
understand identity in an increasingly global world." --John Van
Maanen, Emeritus Professor of Organization Studies, MIT, and author
of Tales of the Field
"In a time of unprecedented migration, mobility, and changing
workplace demographics, Fiona Moore's ethnographic study of the
Taiwanese diaspora is a 'must read' for anyone interested in
gaining a nuanced understanding of culture and identity in today's
complex globally networked communities."--Mary Yoko Brannen,
Honorary Professor of International Business at Copenhagen Business
School, and Professor Emerita at San Jose State University
