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.

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...
