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.

(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...

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...

格局很大,新见解不多,阅读性不比《叫魂》,启发性不容忽视。

孔飞力为何转向海外华人研究? 王鸿 总有一些事情,知道了开头,却猜不中结局。谁也不会想到写就了《帝制晚期中国叛乱及其敌人》、《叫魂:1786年中国妖术大恐慌》等名著的美国中国学名家孔飞力(Philip A. Kuhn),会将自己的最后一本著作投向以海外华人为主题的研究 。乍看...

案:譯名不統一(niche一時作小生境一時作小生態)等問題就不說了,但此書曲解作者原意之處實在太多。李明歡是華僑史大家,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,只是根據有限知識發現不合情理的段...
