Racial discrimination across the life course: a narrative inquiry into the experiences of ethnic Chinese older migrants in Aotearoa New Zealand

Older migrants used these narratives to explain experiences of racial discrimination and to conclude that such experiences were part of what it meant to be a good migrant. Rather than seeing discrimination as a barrier to migration success, they storied difficulties as part of the journey to achieve a good old age in their adopted country.

Abstract

Older migrants used these narratives to explain experiences of racial discrimination and to conclude that such experiences were part of what it meant to be a good migrant. Rather than seeing discrimination as a barrier to migration success, they storied difficulties as part of the journey to achieve a good old age in their adopted country.
