初拿到書以為作者將視野關注於華南某僑鄉,最近細讀完全書,發現作者的野心原來在於提齣不同於nation-state、diasapora、transnation的研究範式與視角,而在於提齣所謂的qiaoxiang perspective。該視角不再關注於移民地點(place),而在於移民的聯係(link or qiaoxiang link) 。

Michael Williams grew up in Sydney, completed his Ph.D. at the University of Hong Kong, and is currently an adjunct fellow at Western Sydney University. He is also a founding member of the Chinese Australian Historical Society.
Employing the classic Chinese saying “returning home with glory” (man zai rong gui) as his title, Michael Williams highlights the importance of return and home in the history of the connections established and maintained between villagers in the Pearl River Delta and various Pacific ports from the time of the Californian and Australian gold rushes to the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
Conventional scholarship on Chinese migration tends to privilege nation-state factors or concepts that are dependent on national boundaries. Such approaches are more concerned with the migrants’ settlement in the destination country, downplaying the awkward fact that the majority of the overseas Chinese (huaqiao) originally intended to (and eventually did) return to their home villages (qiaoxiang). Williams goes back to the basics by considering the strong influence exerted by the family and the home village on those who first set out in order to give a better appreciation of how and why many modest communities in southern China became more modern and affluent. He also gives a voice to those who never left their villages (women in particular). Designed as a single case study, this work presents detailed research based on the more than eighty villages of the Long Du district (near Zhongshan City in Guangdong Province), as well as the three major destinations—Sydney, San Francisco, and Honolulu—of the huaqiao who came from this region. Out of this analysis of what truly mattered to the villagers, the choices they had and made, and what constituted success and failure in their lives, a sympathetic portrayal of the huaqiao emerges.
