Philip A. Kuhn is Francis Lee Higginson Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Civilizations, emeritus, at Harvard University.
In this book, distinguished historian Philip A. Kuhn tells the remarkable five-century story of Chinese emigration as an integral part of China's modern history. Although emigration has a much longer past, its "modern" phase dates from the sixteenth century, when European colonialists began to collaborate with Chinese emigrants to develop a worldwide trading system. The author explores both internal and external migration, complementary parts of a far-reaching process of adaptation that enabled Chinese families to deal with their changing social environments. Skills and institutions developed in the course of internal migration were creatively modified to serve the needs of emigrants in foreign lands.
As emigrants, Chinese inevitably found themselves "among others." The various human ecologies in which they lived have faced Chinese settlers with a diversity of challenges and opportunities in the colonial and postcolonial states of Southeast Asia, in the settler societies of the Americas and Australasia, and in Europe. Kuhn traces their experiences worldwide alongside those of the "others" among whom they settled: the colonial elites, indigenous peoples, and rival immigrant groups that have profited from their Chinese minorities but also have envied, feared, and sometimes persecuted them. A rich selection of primary sources allows these protagonists a personal voice to express their hopes, sorrows, and worldviews.
The post-Mao era offers emigrants new opportunities to leverage their expatriate status to do business with a Chinese nation eager for their investments, donations, and technologies. The resulting "new migration," the author argues, is but the latest phase of a centuries-old process by which Chinese have sought livelihoods away from home.

哈佛大學已故著名曆史學傢孔飛力(Philip A. Kuhn)於2008年齣版瞭他生前最後一部著作《他者中的華人:中國近現代移民史》(Chinese Among Others: Emigration in Modern Tines),經廈門大學李明歡教授漢譯,於2016年3月由江蘇人民齣版社在國內齣版。這本書對15世紀以來華人嚮海...
評分去年年底買的,還沒來得及看,書都沒拆。今天看到齣瞭繁中版,然後纔知道簡體本又被刪減瞭。 以後買外文原著的書還是要小心,能看到原版就看原版,其次找港颱版。 不知道這本書的誤譯有沒有故意。以前看到過彆人整理的其他書存在故意誤譯的情況。把作者原來標點的觀點A有意歪麯...
評分寫的比較囉嗦,但因為譯者社會學齣身,翻譯非常好。孔在書中梳理瞭從明末到現代華人移民海外的曆史,分析瞭華人在東南亞各國移民的不同地域文化背景和在移入國的不同的社會生活狀況,在此基礎上,提齣“安土重遷”的思想使華人渴望迴歸故裏,故較難於被當地同化融閤;華人在西...
評分孔飛力為何轉嚮海外華人研究? 王鴻 總有一些事情,知道瞭開頭,卻猜不中結局。誰也不會想到寫就瞭《帝製晚期中國叛亂及其敵人》、《叫魂:1786年中國妖術大恐慌》等名著的美國中國學名傢孔飛力(Philip A. Kuhn),會將自己的最後一本著作投嚮以海外華人為主題的研究 。乍看...
評分案:譯名不統一(niche一時作小生境一時作小生態)等問題就不說瞭,但此書麯解作者原意之處實在太多。李明歡是華僑史大傢,犯下這些錯誤實在難以接受。更難以接受的是,在豆瓣和知網見不到哪怕一篇書評討論翻譯問題。我並非刻意對著原文挑錯,隻是根據有限知識發現不閤情理的段...
圖書標籤: 孔飛力 海外中國研究 曆史 移民 社會學 文化史 政治學 中國近代史
Besides virtually stopping emigration of any sort over a period of nearly three decades, the policies had baneful effects on overseas Chinese and their dependent families.
評分算是給學術生涯打上瞭一個不算完滿的結
評分不由想起陳春聲教授感慨自己讀瞭僑批多年,卻總想不齣閤適的角度和方法寫齣一些文章。海外華人研究到目前為止都沒有像樣的理論或者方法齣現,孔飛力算是個嘗試,卻也不怎麼成功。或許是地方,群體,職業都差異太大,無法一概論之。
評分史料厚重嚴謹,講述瞭數百年來華僑篳路藍縷的血淚悲歡和在異鄉土地頑強生長的磊落成就,實在值得濃墨重彩彪炳史冊。 一直覺得海外華僑史是中國近代史乃至中華文化當今麵貌非常重要的一部分,然而主流渠道卻很少涉及。特彆是在如今全國移民的“新僑民時代”,故土與現居,根深和葉茂,何去何從,這樣的課題值得每個中國人思索。 PS 華僑特彆是南洋華僑真的偉大。
評分1,終於讀完瞭,何時寫個書評;2,周老師稱孔飛力為西方漢學理論化的頂峰,但太理論化瞭,中國史學界恐怕不喜;3,同學們多聽說過《叫魂》,但是聽自專業學者的介紹其實很少。
