评分这本书是作者在哈佛的三份演讲稿,所以其中的论点论据并不是学术论文的形式,但其实可以看出老爷子功底深厚,所有的东西都在脑子里,信手拈来,深入浅出。薄薄一本可以衍生出非常多的内容。可以当作creolization的入门,也可以作为深入研究的参考。

Wang Gungwu is Director of the East Asian Institute, and Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the National University of Singapore.
The Chinese overseas now number 25 to 30 million, yet the 2,000-year history of Chinese attempts to venture abroad and the underlying values affecting that migration have never before been presented in a broad overview. Despite centuries of prohibition against leaving the land and traveling and settling overseas, the “earthbound” Chinese—first traders, then peasants and workers—eventually found new sources of livelihood abroad. The practice of sojourning, being always temporarily away from home, was the answer the Chinese overseas found to deal with imperial and orthodox concerns. Today their challenge is to find an alternative to either returning or assimilating by seeking a new kind of autonomy in a world that will come to acknowledge the ideal of multicultural states.
In pursuing this story, international scholar Wang Gungwu uncovers some major themes of global history: the coming together of Asian and European civilizations, the ambiguities of ethnicity and diasporic consciousness, and the tension between maintaining one’s culture and assimilation.
