As China is becoming an economic, political, and technological global power, Chinese transnational migrations have intensified and diversified. Such increased diversity and connectivity for overseas Chinese in all parts of the world, as well as return migration to China, call for renewed perspectives from various disciplines on Chinese migration in a global context.
This handbook series covers the interplay between new migration modalities and the changing practices and identities of Chinese overseas. It brings people, communities, states, cultures in the new geopolitical context, and provide directions for future work in the field of migration and diaspora studies, human and social mobilities, transnational connections, and cultural identities.
Mette Thunø, Ph.D., is Associate Professor in China Studies at the Department of Global Studies, Aarhus University, Denmark. She publishes extensively on Chinese migration and diaspora policies, including
