The last half century of Chinese overseas
by Elizabeth Sinn
"The papers collected in this anthology look at Chinese overseas residing in five continents in the half century after the Second World War from many new perspectives. Some papers raise questions about the Chinese diaspora on broad conceptual terms, and inquire into the meaning of 'being Chinese' outside China. Other papers examine their lives in local communities, analysing how historical and contemporary circumstances affect their lives and the ways they negotiate their identity in the host country." "This volume will no doubt go a long way both to broaden and deepen our understanding of the Chinese overseas, and, by showing the many possibilities for further investigation, to strengthen 'Chinese overseas' as a field of study."--BOOK JACKET.
