Asian American Spies
In Asian American Spies, Brian Masaru Hayashi scours voluminous materials from newly released U.S. Office of Strategic Services (Oss) files to understand what roles Asian Americans played in intelligence gathering and spy craft in World War II. Despite the triumphant subtitle, Hayashi's argument is much more nuanced about the ways Asian Americans both helped and hurt the Allied cause. Hayashi argues that even though the Euroamericans leading the …
What the Field Stands to Lose
The pandemic of 2020 brings the field of American foreign relations, or the United States and the World, or the global history of international relations, to an important crossroads. The pandemic will have a direct impact on the ongoing trend in the field toward transnational (read: multilingual, multi-archival, globe-trotting) research. Closed borders and heightened tensions will limit access to archives, conference interactions, and routine sch…
S helly C han . Diaspora’s Homeland
In recent years, there has been a surge in interest in the history of the Chinese diaspora, sparked no doubt at least in part by the growing strength of China on the world stage. Studies of the Chinese abroad often center on the migrants themselves: their lived experiences, their agency in choosing and shaping their lives, and their influence on the societies in which they’ve chosen to live. According to Shelly Chan, not enough attention has been…
Artless Dealing
Entering the presidency, Donald J. Trump made clear his primary agenda with respect to the People’s Republic of China ( PRC ) was altering the trade relationship between the two countries. As the challenge of a nuclear North Korea came to dominate his interactions with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, however, Trump was forced temporarily to put his economic complaints on the backburner. Despite his fiery rhetoric, prolific tweeting, and early missteps…
The Diplomacy of Migration

Mark Twain in China by Selina Lai-Henderson
Charlotte Brooks. Between Mao and McCarthy
The October 1949 founding of the People’s Republic of China had profound implications for Chinese politics, leading to the exile of Chiang Kai-shek’s Guomindang (Nationalist Party or GMD) to Taiwan and inaugurating a thirty-year period of international uncertainty about recognition and legitimacy between two competing Chinese governments. Chiang’s Republic of China had enjoyed significant, if somewhat reluctant, support from the U.S. during World…
The Diplomacy of Migration
The Right of Return
This article examines the rise of the international refugee regime in Asia, focusing on the work of the International Refugee Organization in repatriating overseas Chinese from mainland China back to their homes in Southeast Asia from 1947 to 1956. It looks both at how the International Refugee Organization inherited this repatriation project from its predecessor-the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration-and its survival after a…

Thunder without Rain”
During the early Cold War, a refugee crisis in Hong Kong captured international attention. The failure of the United Nations to respond gave rise to a complicated cooperative relief effort involving British authorities, the U.S. government, and many private voluntary organizations. This article focuses on the history of one organization, Aid Refugee Chinese Intellectuals (ARCI), and demonstrates how its work with the U.S. Refugee Relief Program (…
Using Foreign Relations Sources to Contextualize Immigration History
AMERICAN IMMIGRATION and ethnic history is international in origin, but helping students understand the complexity of how the international system affects the migrant experience can pose difficulties for instructors following trends in the scholarship for a more international or transnational approach. Students more familiar with a nationalistic narrative of unidirectional movement, pulled by opportunity, might otherwise fail to consider the role…
