China's Rise and the Chinese Overseas
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. | China's Rise and the Chinese Overseas
