(刊于《晶报》2016年11月19日,发表时有改动) 文/俞耕耘 孔飞力先生是在国际史学界享有盛名的大学者,其代表作《中华帝国晚期的叛乱及其敌人》、《叫魂》都已成为清史、中国近代史研究的经典范式。这也形成了一种风格化的书写策略:从具体的时间拐点、历史事件入手,以社会...
评分中国对外开放力度的不断增强,跨国人员往来的数量、密切程度不断增多、加深的现实作用下,在历史学术上的影响最大的恐怕就是催热中国移民史的研究。就学术圈的参与度来看,本身仅是属于广东福建浙江等沿海侨乡密集的省份的专利(中山、厦大、暨大等),现在拓展到了全国...
评分﹣之前沒有有意識的找這本書,雖然在孔早前離世前讀到原來他有寫過這樣有趣的題目。在學而優逛時竟然碰上了,也是江蘇人民出版社的海外中國研究系列。這系列有不少好書呢,不過有點不是很理解其翻譯的策略/思路,有機會再仔細觀察。 ﹣這部歴史從明朝開始談起,大概因為對白...

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.
