The essays reprinted here trace the history of Chinese emigration
into the Pacific region, first as individuals, traders or exiles,
moving into the 'Nanyang' (Southeast Asia), then as a mass
migration across the ocean after the mid-19th century. The papers
include discussions of what it meant to be Chinese, the position of
the migrants vis-A -vis China itself, and their relations with
indigenous peoples as well as the European powers that came to
dominate the region. Together with the introduction, they
constitute an important aid to understanding one of the most
widespread diasporas of the modern world.
