Since the 1978 opening up of China and her active engagement in
economic reformation and modernization, China has become a truly
global economic power. These developments have, consequently, had
an impact on ethnic Chinese people living across the world.
Traditionally, the study of immigrant communities has focused on
internal factors, such as the leadership and social organization of
the actors inside the communities. This book, however, turns
attention to the exogenous factors, which have helped shape the
lives of the Chinese diaspora. In doing so, it provides a valuable
contribution to the recent literature, which focuses on the effect
of globalisation on the Chinese overseas. Using a number of
empirical case studies, including the San Francisco Bay, Canada,
South Africa and Hungary, it provides an investigation into how
China's contemporary position in the world has affected the
identity of the various locales of the Chinese in different
continents. Whilst demonstrating the implications of China's rise
on patterns of circular migration and transnational movements, it
also explores how the social and economic relations between Chinese
communities and their host and ancestral countries have changed.
Ultimately, it highlights how China's rise has brought new economic
opportunities and political clout for the Chinese overseas, but at
the same time, has created new stereotypes and racial images by
association. As an in-depth study of Chinese societies as well as
current migration trends, this book will be useful for students of
Chinese Studies, Ethnic Studies, Anthropology and Sociology.
