ISBN: 0765609509 ISBN-13: 9780765609502 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $65.50 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2002 Annotation: This work provides vital insights on the extensive historical and contemporary involvement of Chinese Americans from diverse walks of life in U.S-China relations. The contributors present new evidence and fresh perspectives on familiar and unfamiliar national and transnational networks -- including families, businesspeople, community newspapers, students, lobbyists, philanthropists, and scientists -- and consider the likely future impact of such contacts. These assessments suggest that the nature and scope of the Chinese American involvement, particularly in global civil society networks, will increasingly determine the outcome of relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China. |

| Publisher Description: This book addresses the historical and contemporary involvement of Chinese Americans from diverse walks of life in U.S.-China relations. The contributors present new evidence and fresh perspectives on familiar and unfamiliar national and transnational networks - including families, businesspersons, community newspapers, students, lobbyists, philanthropists, and scientists - and consider the likely future impact of such contacts on the most important bilateral relationship at the start of the new millennium. The volume makes a multidisciplinary contribution to understanding the extensive and vital roles and promise of Chinese Americans at this critical juncture in U.S.-China relations, and to revealing the importance of migrants as actors in contemporary global politics. The assessments shared by the contributors suggest that the nature and scope of the Chinese American involvement, particularly in global civil society networks, increasingly will determine the outcome of state-to-state relations between the United States and the PRC. |
