THE TRANSPACIFIC CHINESE DIASPORA-MIGRATION NETWORK FROM CHINA TO CANADA & BEYOND - 2026

In The Transpacific Chinese Diaspora, Zhongping Chen examines the origins, rise, and reform of the Cantonese-dominated Chinese diaspora in Canada between 1788 and 1898. https://ow.ly/hK9M50Z6oNm "This extremely important work completely remakes our understandings of the first century of the Chinese migrations to Canada, carefully tracing the diasporic connections of the merchant networks in Guangdong, Hong Kong, San Francisco, and British Columbia that organized, ordered, and enabled this migration. A superb piece of historical scholarship." —Timothy J. Stanley, University of Ottawa #ReadUP #history #asianamericanstudies #asianhistory
