内容説明
A compilation of self-contained essays, lectures and papers, chronologically arranged, this book provides insight into a complex issue - the true identity of the overseas Chinese. Part I traces the history of Chinese migration, focusing upon particular types of immigrants, migrant communities in Southeast Asia and migration patterns. It explores the ways in which the overseas Chinese have been portrayed in history, how they conducted their business and extended their trading connections. Their relations with the ruling dynasties of their homeland, attitudes toward ancient Chinese values, involvement in politics, and allegiances to foreigners are also among the topics discussed. Part II concentrates on contemporary issues such as the degree of integration with indigenous populations; conflicting loyalties, real or imagined, between 'local' nationalism and Chinese communism; and the different types of evolution experienced by the overseas communities in various host countries.
The essays constitute an absorbing study and significantly contribute to the study of the identity of the overseas Chinese, study which is likely to become increasingly important in the emerging global political and economic order.
