This book delves into the experiences of 20 ICs living in Singapore and explores the complexity of their experiences through the lens of translanguaging. It shows how ICs mix language and culture in a borderless manner, not only between spouses but also with their wider families. Additionally, the authors examine the significance of technological advancements, which have transformed ICs' experiences over the past decade. In particular, parents-in-law pose a significant challenge for Asian-Western couples, as the relationship with them in Asia differs from that in the West. Each couple's unique shared culture and language transcends the borders of nation-states, requiring exchange, sharing, negotiation, and adaptation. This book provides an easy-to-read, holistic exploration of the issues faced by ICs, offering insight into overlooked aspects such as location, in-laws, and technology.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmAuthor: Jieun Kiaer, Hyejeong AhnGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
