Diasporic Chinese Ventures cover

This collection of essays by and about Wang Gungwu brings together some of Wang's most recent and representative writing about the ethnic Chinese outside China giving the reader a deeper understanding of his views on migration, identity, nationalism and culture, all key issues in modern Asia's transformation. The book collects interviews, speeches and essays that illustrate the development and direction of Wang's scholarship on ethnic and diasporic Chinese.

'This attractive compendium, headed by a revealing biographical interview by Hong Liu, brings together hard-to-find articles, lectures and interviews by Wang Gungwu, the premier historian of Chinese overseas migration-and, as this collection reveals, of much more besides.' -The China Journal
