Using previously unexplored archives from colonial institutions and
individuals, and primary materials produced by the Burmese Chinese,
this comprehensive study investigates over a century of history of
the Burmese Chinese under British colonial rule. Due to the
peculiar position of Burma in the British imperial world and the
Southeast Asian Chinese network, the Chinese community had a unique
experience in a Southeast Asian colony governed by Europeans with
an India-based system. This book reveals, through everyday life
experience, prominent community figures, and milestone events, the
internal rivalry and integration among different regional groups
within the community, and the general impressions it left in
contemporary observations and communal memories. The book also
traces historical roots of some unsolved ethnic issues in
present-day Myanmar.
