"At Home in the Chinese Diaspora" explores issues of memory and how memories are deployed and negotiated to re-establish a sense of belonging. This volume breaks new ground in analyzing the relationships between migrants' adjustment, assimilation and remembering home through the focal point of memories. Some chapters focus conceptually on memories as social expressions, a locus of place, cultural capital and imagination. Others explore the tensions and conflicts in representing and renegotiating memories through the world of literature and cinema.
