Description:

This book is an anthology of select papers presented at ‘The Last Half Century of Chinese Overseas: Comparative Perspectives’ Conference held from 19 to 21 December 1994.

The Hong Kong conference, however,  was more focused in terms of time, being the first international meeting of its kind to concentrate on the post-war period which had witnessed fundamental changes among Chinese outside China.

The majority were related to one of the five themes chosen for the conference: changing economic activities of Chinese overseas, national, international and transnational; migration patterns; political participation in host countries; popular culture and ethnicity; family structure and gender issues.
