Museum Representations of Chinese Diasporas is the first book to
analyse the recent upsurge in museums on Chinese diasporas in
China. Examining heritage-making beyond the nation state, the book
provides a much-needed, critical examination of China's engagement
with its diasporic communities. Drawing on fieldwork in more than
ten museums, as well as interviews with museum practitioners and
archival study, Wang offers a timely analysis of the complex ways
in which Chinese diasporas are represented in the museum space of
China, the ancestral homeland. Arguing that diasporic heritage is
highly ambivalent and introducing a diasporic perspective to the
study of cultural heritage, this book opens up a new avenue of
inquiry into the study and management of cultural heritage in China
and beyond. Most importantly, perhaps, Wang sheds new light on the
dynamic between China and Chinese diasporas through the lens of the
museum. Museum Representations of Chinese Diasporas takes a
transnational perspective that will draw attention to the
under-researched connections between heritage, mobility and meaning
in a global context. As such, this cross-disciplinary work will be
of interest to scholars and students working in the museum and
heritage studies fields, as well as those studying Asia, China,
migration and diaspora, anthropology, history and culture.
