Race and Racial Identity: The [Other]s’ Face of Singapore by Jin, Mark Rong

“…Although race in Singapore is still heavily influenced by the state’s discourse, this paper hypothesizes that respondents still possess the ability to exercise agency and to engage in various mechanisms to negotiate their racial identity. The main themes of discussion in this paper would thus explore how they do so, namely, through (i) the construction of specific, varied racial narratives, (ii) the adjustment of behaviour, (iii) and the exercising of reflexivity in problematic race-related situations – before exploring some of the struggles that mixed-race individuals in particular face and how the access to certain forms of capital also allows them to better negotiate racial boundaries.…”
