THE TEOCHIU: ETHNICITY IN URBAN HONG KONG
area of research, given the above mentioned differences and varia- tion within ethnic groups. Previous sections of this paper have discussed variation within the Teochiu population, and the difficul- ties involved in generalizing about the nature of Teochiu ethnic identity. Another important source of variation is generational differences in the importance ascribed to an ethnic identity in a changing society. The study of these kinds of variation will provide insight into intergroup dynamics in Chinese-here more specifically Hong Kong Chinese-society, and contribute to the comparative study of ethnicity.
