Chinatown, Europe (eBook, ePUB)

An Exploration of Overseas Chinese Identity in the 1990s

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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?
