Description:This is a story of the overseas Chinese-of their struggles against discrimination in the early years, the growth of Chinatowns, and of the many associations like clans and hui-kuans that were formed, bringing together fellow Chinese who speak the same dialect, originate from the same district, and who have common surnames. In particular, this book examines the major overseas Chinese communities in the Nanyang, and countries further afield like America, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.
