The Chinese Diaspora: Its Development in Global Perspective is an accessible and valuable text for anyone studying or interested in this increasingly important subject. The collection features three overarching areas that both shape and are shaped by the diaspora – culture, entrepreneurship, and migration – and highlights the heterogeneity of Chinese diasporic communities in historical context, as well as their relationships with the homeland and adopted nation-states. It presents carefully selected case studies that span across North America, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
