First published in 1999, this book is a political enthnography of
recent migration from the People's Republic of China into Europe.
It argues that the very high mobility and intensive communications
of Chinese migrants enable them to maintain a transnational
community within which they easily shift countries and social roles
- from student to trader to worker - if doing so is economically
expedient. This makes them the natural beneficiaries and users of
the Western globalization discourse, even more so that - contrary
to culturalist explanations of global Chinese networks - anonymity,
sovereign decision making and freedom from social pressures are at
least as important in motivating migration as family connections.
Yet their identity discourse expresses an authentic Chinese
globalization . Chinese migrants see themselves not as local
minorities but as a global majority attached to China by a
deterritorialised nationalism. This nationalism is not only
encouraged by China's official discourse but also supported by the
economic dependence of new migrants on cultural capital built up in
China, which makes them less reliant on resources in their
countries of residence.
