商品簡介
During the 1990s, the Western press began paying attention to the investments of "overseas Chinese" in explaining the dynamic economic growth of China and Asia. Bolt (political science, US Air Force Academy) focuses on their participation as a noteworthy feature of Chinese economic reform, one that has implications for other developing nations. His study is a corrective to Western scholars who have tended to neglect this role of ethnic Chinese, and to popular accounts that have failed to distinguish among the identities of ethnic Chinese living outside mainland China. Three legs of the diaspora relationship are identified: the "global tribe" connecting China and Asia's ethnic Chinese, the state of China, and state-diaspora relations. Includes a line map of The People's Republic of China. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
