Summary

The Chinese overseas have long been relevant to China, especially to qiaoxiang, and vice-versa. Qiaoxiang refers to regions from where emigrants migrated overseas, where there are therefore ties with Chinese communities overseas. Unlike most other works, which are either mainly on China or on Chinese overseas, this book examines both China and Chinese overseas in relation to qioaxiang. With clearly presented chapters that examine the ancestral homeland, Chinese overseas, China and transnational networks, and the diversity of settlements and homelands, the expert team of international contributors ofChinese Transnational Networkshave created a volume which will be essential reading for students and scholars of migrations studies, Chinese diaspora and Chinese culture and society.
