The analysis unpacks the central role of whiteness and Western ethnicity under the \u2018Chinese gaze\u2019, intersected by nationality. However, while they are marked by continuities of white privilege, the resulting racialised positionalities of the foreign white \u2018others\u2019 are characterised by a simultaneous elevation and subjugation, equally shaped by a \u2018Chinese ascendancy\u2019. European migrants\u2019 self-positionings meander between this ambiguous \u2018outsiderness\u2019 and a propensity for integration as they navigate the multifaceted middle positions they occupy. Contextualising the findings in research on white migration movements from the West, the conclusion suggests that the class-based notion of middling migration should be refined by including economic, social and cultural ways of being \u2018of the middle\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"abstractKeywords\">\n<div class=\"hlFld-KeywordText\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"kwd-title\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>:\u00a0European migrants, positionality, racialisation, whiteness, middling migration, China<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Aldina Camenisch Source : https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/14687968211058014 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[722,7,559,409,9,421,259,634,66,334,278,91,26],"class_list":["post-35085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society-family-racism","tag-722","tag-article","tag-china","tag-cultural-diversity","tag-english-language","tag-ethnic-diversity","tag-ethnicity","tag-ethnography","tag-migration","tag-racism","tag-social-class","tag-social-integration","tag-transnationalism"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35085"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35085\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
