As China's international influence continues to grow, Trans-Pacific Mobilities charts how the cross-border movement of Chinese people, goods, and images affects notions of place, belonging, and identity, particularly in Canada. Three waves of Chinese migration to Canada--labour migration, the exodus from Hong Kong prior to the 1997 handover, and the current swell of moneyed immigration from Mainland China--have resulted in 1.5 million inhabitants of Chinese descent, and Canada is currently the second most popular destination for Chinese settlement. The interdisciplinary cast of contributors to this volume draws on the new mobilities paradigm to explore this massive movement of people through five lenses, charting historic, cultural and symbolic, highly skilled, family and gendered, and transnational Chinese mobilities. As Canada's policy of multiculturalism continues to shape the nation's politics, this timely volume is an invaluable resource for those interested in historical and contemporary Chinese mobilities and related issues of immigration, ethnicity, and transnationalism."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aChinese$zCanada$xEthnic identity 606 $aImmigrants$zCanada 606 $aChinese$zCanada 606 $aChinese$xMigrations 606 $aTransnationalism 607 $aChina$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration 615 0$aChinese$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aChinese 615 0$aChinese$xMigrations. 615 0$aTransnationalism. 676 $a305.8951071 686 $aLB 56605$2rvk 702 $aWong$b Lloyd L$g(Lloyd Lee),$f1950- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164935903321 996 $aTrans-Pacific mobilities$92187186 997 $aUNINA
