Chinatown, Europe - An Exploration of Overseas Chinese Identity in the 1990s

Zusatztext 'There have been few studies on Chinese communities in Europe! as is apparent from the bibliography in Flemming Christiansen's book. This ones fills a significant gap.' - China Perspectives Informationen zum Autor Flemming Christiansen teaches Chinese Studies at the University of Leeds. Klappentext This book paints the situation of the European overseas Chinese in strong colours. The almost one million Chinese in Europe are conventionally regarded as 'silent immigrants' and depicted as introvert and culturally hidebound. As a result, this complex and fascinating community with its multiple origins, its difficult relations with China, its history of hardship and heavy toil and its colourful leaders has been overlooked. What hides behind westerners' stereotypes? Zusammenfassung Based on in-depth interviews with overseas Chinese in many European cities, Chinatown, Europe provides a complex yet enthralling investigation into many Chinese communities in Europe.
