From Frontier to Heartland -- 2. A Chinese Mental Map of the Irrawaddy Delta -- 3. Merchants of the Empire -- 4. The Rangoon Vice -- 5. Making No Political "Noise".Using previously unexplored archives from colonial institutions and individuals, and primary materials produced by the Burmese Chinese, this comprehensive study investigates over a century of history of the Burmese Chinese under British colonial rule. Due to the peculiar position of Burma in the British imperial world and the Southeast Asian Chinese network, the Chinese community had a unique experience in a Southeast Asian colony governed by Europeans with an India-based system. This book reveals, through everyday life experience, prominent community figures, and milestone events, the internal rivalry and integration among different regional groups within the community, and the general impressions it left in contemporary observations and communal memories. The book also traces historical roots of some unsolved ethnic issues in present-day Myanmar.Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,2635-1633Southeast Asia—HistoryImperialismChina—HistoryHistory of Southeast Asiahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715050Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000History of Chinahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010BurmaHistory1824-1948BurmafastHistory.fastSoutheast Asia—History.Imperialism.China—History.History of Southeast Asia.Imperialism and Colonialism.History of China.959Li Yiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut428643BOOK9910254763903321Chinese in Colonial Burma2203644UNINA
