Xi Wu examines how national and transnational forces and discursive
logic mediate international secondary school students’ educational
routes and life trajectories. Drawing upon an ethnographic research
program involving Chinese students in a Canadian international
secondary school, Wu employs Ong’s notion of transnational cultural
logics to examine students’ lives and how they flexibly and
not-so-flexibly engaged in their learning and self-making in their
transnational spaces. The book provides a comprehensive understanding
of international students as agentic and socially regulated subjects
in their transnational routes. These insights contribute to advancing
curriculum and program improvements. Furthermore, Wu applies
theoretical notions of "transnationalism" and "global and
transnational cultural logics" to the examination of specific
phenomenon and analyzes how cultural logics stemming from families,
nations, and societies govern subjectivities in their actions and
aspirations. This insightful book will be of interest to a wide range
of education stakeholders, as well as scholars and researchers in
comparative and international education.
