The excitement surrounding these developments was discussed between the two editors which culminated in a conference jointly organized by the Centre for Anthropological Research at the University of Hong…

Voluntary Organizations in the Chinese Diaspora
Do Chinese voluntary organizations continue to have a role in modern societies enmeshed in a globalizing world that questions continuation of the nation-state and ethnic identity? This book argues that Chinese voluntary organizations continue to play a significant role in both the established and new Chinese communities in the Diaspora. They are able to do so because of their ability to transform their organizational structure and functions. At t…
