Description:This book describes this massive wave of migration and the smaller ones that occurred in the last three decades of the 20th century.

The migrations of recent decades have however been different in two respects:

• They have involved Chinese not only from greater China itself (Hong Kong,Taiwan and the mainland) but also from Southeast Asia and else where.
• The have involved those of high educational level.

The author looks at these different migrations mainly from the perspective of those who settled in Southeast Asia and , but also includes the experiences of those Chinese who have made their home in other parts of Asia, Australasia and North America.
