This essay examines the exclusion and inclusion of Cambodian immigrants from the perspective of neoliberal governmentality. The concept of governmentality enables an approach to consciousness and action of subjects that are recognized as a free agent. Subjects in neoliberal society where the importance of self-reliance and self-care are stressed are characterized that they should be in charge of their own safety for themselves. This neoliberal subject needs a partner called community to provide moral values in the process of its own identity formation and this creates governing population through the community. Governmentality operates based on expert groups that produce knowledge to distinguish those who are to be included in a society from those who are to be excluded. The Chhung family or Cambodian immigrants that were on the brink of exclusion due to the absence of civility in American society came to make a fresh start in a small village called Riverlake. Through intermediation of Hattie, a Chinese-American who serves as their mentor, the Chhung family newly forms the identity as an American citizen by being accepted into the village community. The description of identity, community and expert intermediation shown in World and Town well demonstrates the governmental technology on ethnic minorities in how they are included or excluded.
Abstract
This essay examines the exclusion and inclusion of Cambodian immigrants from the perspective of neoliberal governmentality. The concept of governmentality enables an approach to consciousness and action of subjects that are recognized as a free agent. Subjects in neoliberal society where the importance of self-reliance and self-care are stressed are characterized that they should be in charge of their own safety for themselves. This neoliberal subject needs a partner called community to provide moral values in the process of its own identity formation and this creates governing population through the community. Governmentality operates based on expert groups that produce knowledge to distinguish those who are to be included in a society from those who are to be excluded. The Chhung family or Cambodian immigrants that were on the brink of exclusion due to the absence of civility in American society came to make a fresh start in a small village called Riverlake. Through intermediation of Hattie, a Chinese-American who serves as their mentor, the Chhung family newly forms the identity as an American citizen by being accepted into the village community. The description of identity, community and expert intermediation shown in World and Town well demonstrates the governmental technology on ethnic minorities in how they are included or excluded.
