Reviews

This unique volume is a significant contribution to understanding Southeast Asia's relations with China. Rather than viewing the relationship through the too-familiar perspective of China's impact on the region, this thoughtful and well-researched study reverses the analysis to examine Southeast Asia's roles in, and impact on, China over time. It is a necessary corrective to existing scholarship and a welcome addition to the field, which should be read by all those seeking to understand the inner history of interactions between Southeast Asian societies and China. David Shambaugh, George Washington University -- David Shambaugh, The George Washington University and The Brookings Institution A valuable and overdue assessment of the neglected side of the China-Southeast Asian connection - Southeast Asian influence in China. Using a multi-disciplinary lens and reflecting sensitivities and forces beyond conventional geo-politics, it is the story of diplomats, labourers, capitalists, scholars, philanthropists and students from China's south who have had a significant impact on politics, economy, and matters of entangled identities and citizenship, in their home countries and land of distant origin. An unsentimental and self-confident view from the periphery, it speaks to the multitude of interactions that have shaped contemporary international relations and revealed the limits and possibilities of Southeast Asian agency. Stimulating for regional and international relations specialists alike. Professor Paul Evans, HSBC Chair in Asian Research, School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, University of British Columbia -- Paul Evans, author of Field Notes from the Edge: Journeys through Britain's wilderness
