Through 100 transcribed interviews, Junko Sakai reveals the transnational working experience in the context of individuals' global movements between East and West and explores how the ideals and interactions of ethnicity and culture really affect their lives. |

| Publisher Description: The globalisation of the present day world economy means that more and more people are experiencing different cultures through their work. Focusing on the real experiences of workers in Japanese transnational finance companies, this book not only throws light on this specific case, but at the same time raises timely questions and insights into the newly-emerging multicultural work experience worldwide. Japanese Bankers in the City of London reflects on contemporary discussions in sociology, anthropology and cultural studies, of individual global movement and cultural interaction. |
