Chinese Migration in Comparative Perspective: Adaption and Development.
Author: Leo Suryadinata, Lee Guan Kin
Publisher: Chinese Heritage Centre, Centre for Chinese Language and Culture
Publishing year: 2009
Call Number: DS732.C539p
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.
Political Participation and Ethnic Minorities: Chinese Overseas in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the United States
Author: Amy L. Freedman
Publisher: Routledge, New York, London.
Publishing year: 2000
Call number: DS732.F853
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.
中文系和华裔馆联办 驻校作家苏童公开讲座─「我的文学时代」
【讲座提纲】：
每个人都可以有幸拥有大小两个时代。所谓的大时代不容你选择，它由社会与他人构建，像一圈无边的围墙，你在围墙中生存，你的安全感与不安全感，都由这道围墙提供。另外一个所谓的小时代，需要你自己谋求。它可以由个人意志创造，其实是在大时代的围墙里搭建一个你自己的居所，在禁锢中获得相对的自由，你的愉悦与孤独，你的发现和创造，都是来自这一小片的自由。
任何时代的文学不仅依附于“当下”，也依附于历史，甚至未来。我们既不能无限夸大文学的神通，也不能贬低文学对现实生活的意义。文学对于时代究竟是有用的或者是无用的，这不是一个问题。问题在于如何看待文学的价值，我相信克尔恺郭尔的这句话：个人不能帮助也不能挽救时代，他只能表现它的失落。

错综于市场、社会与国家之间——东亚口岸城市的华商与亚洲区域网络
作者：廖赤阳、刘宏
出版社：南洋理工大学中华语言文化中心
出版年份：2008
索书号：DS732.C973
内容简介：本书的十二位作者分别出生和任职于不同国家、地区，跨国的生活和研究经历，使得他们对于华商网络这样的题材兼具感性和理性的双重认识。
我们试图以跨越空间来观察时间的流淌和人们的活动。全书没有叙述一个完整的故事，而是提供了不同的个案及其氛围。其中，序章和第一部分着重理论性的探讨。第二部分讨论了清末至1949年之间在华南、台湾以及东南亚的事例，重点在于揭示华商网络的历史特征。第三部分则讨论了1980年代以来，全球化背景下新加坡、马来西亚、香港、厦门以及长期等地的现状。
将网络与国家作为两个流动性的范畴来把握释本书的一个尝试，这一视野能够让我们对二十世纪的华人研究范式进行批判性的反思。
