Description: This anthology of autobiographical essays reveals the human side of the Chinese diaspora. Written by ethnic Chinese who were born or raised outside of China, these moving pieces, full of the poignant details of everyday life, describe the experience of growing up as a visible minority and the subsequent journey each author made to China. The authors-whose diverse backgrounds in countries such as New Zealand, Denmark, Sri Lanka, England, Indonesia, and the United States mirror the complex global scope of the Chinese diaspora-describe in particular how their journeys to the country of their ancestors transformed their sense of what it means to be Chinese. The collection as a whole provides important insights into what ethnic identity has come to mean in our transnational era.

Description: There have been four major waves of Chinese migration in history, and up to the third wave, the majority of Chinese migrants went to Southeast Asia. However, the fourth wave, which started in the 1980s during the era of globalization, which is still ongoing ,appears to differ from the previous migrations in terms of destinations and quality of migrants. More migrants have gone to the developed west; some have gone with skills and capital and some are also trans-nationals who assume multi-nationalities. All this made the migration scene more complicated than before.

This book is based on an international conference held in October 2007 and aims to examine Chinese migration in comparative perspectives. The chapters deal with migrants and their descendants, old and new, in the Western and Asian context, from the past to the present, in terms of their processes of adaptation and changing orientations, the problems that faced/face, and the prospect that they held/hold. Some interesting findings have been presented and further studies are required to throw more light on Chinese migrations,especially with regard to the new waves which are still ongoing. Nevertheless, on-going research on comparative approaches/perspectives are needed in order to generate new theories and concepts.

Description: From New York City’s Chinatown to urban Indonesia, there are fifty-five million ethnic Chinese living outside of China.Their strong sense of community. Their strong sense of community, along with their considerable economic clout, makes them compelling group with which to study immigrant political participation. Amy Freedman’s empirical study examines the hows and whys of Chinese overseas political activity in three diverse countries. When, and under what conditions, do immigrants become active in the political process? Does political influence stem from group mobilization? What role do communal organizations and their leaders play in determining participation? In answering these questions, Freedman assesses the goals and objectives of ethnic communities entering the political fray.
