Beskrivning
With the number of Chinese living outside of its borders expected to reach 52 million by 2030, China has one of the most mobile populations on earth, shaping economies, cultures, and politics throughout Asia, the Americas, and the South Pacific. Trans-Pacific Mobilities charts how the cross-border movement of Chinese people, goods, and images affects notions of place, belonging, and identity, particularly in Canada, as China's international influence continues to grow. Drawing on the new mobilities paradigm, the interdisciplinary cast of contributors explores this phenomenon through five lenses, mapping out historic, cultural and symbolic, highly skilled, family and gendered, and transnational Chinese mobilities. This timely volume is an invaluable resource for those interested in historical and contemporary Chinese mobilities and related issues of migration, immigration, ethnicity, and transnationalism.
