Course Title:
Global Chinese Migration
Course Description:
Explores how the Chinese have been moving and creating communities around the world for centuries. What, if anything, makes them “Chinese” despite such a large variety of historical experiences? Attempts to understand this migration both in terms of large-scale trends and the unique experiences of local communities and cultural change. Also examines Chinese business networks, which are sometimes thought to present a powerful challenge to Western forms of capitalism. Is Chinese capitalism different from other capitalist business, and does Chinese culture play a role in shaping it?
