具体描述
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.

读后感
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...
评分哈佛大学已故著名历史学家孔飞力(Philip A. Kuhn)于2008年出版了他生前最后一部著作《他者中的华人：中国近现代移民史》（Chinese Among Others: Emigration in Modern Tines），经厦门大学李明欢教授汉译，于2016年3月由江苏人民出版社在国内出版。这本书对15世纪以来华人向海...
评分格局很大，新见解不多，阅读性不比《叫魂》，启发性不容忽视。
评分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...

评分Besides virtually stopping emigration of any sort over a period of nearly three decades, the policies had baneful effects on overseas Chinese and their dependent families.
评分tedious
评分史料厚重严谨，讲述了数百年来华侨筚路蓝缕的血泪悲欢和在异乡土地顽强生长的磊落成就，实在值得浓墨重彩彪炳史册。 一直觉得海外华侨史是中国近代史乃至中华文化当今面貌非常重要的一部分，然而主流渠道却很少涉及。特别是在如今全国移民的“新侨民时代”，故土与现居，根深和叶茂，何去何从，这样的课题值得每个中国人思索。 PS 华侨特别是南洋华侨真的伟大。
评分Besides virtually stopping emigration of any sort over a period of nearly three decades, the policies had baneful effects on overseas Chinese and their dependent families.
