Heritage and History in the China–Australia Migration Corridor (Crossing Seas)

A study of the history and impact of Chinese-Australian migration. Heritage and History in the China-Australia Migration Corridor traces the material and social legacy of migration from China to Australia from the 1840s until the present day. It offers a multidimensional examination of the material footprint of migration as it exists at either end of the migration corridor stretching between Zhongshan county in south China and Australia. Spanning the fields of heritage studies, migration studies, and Chinese diaspora history, this book foregrounds a transnational approach to the history and heritage of migration, one that takes account of the flows of people, ideas, objects, and money that circulate through migration corridors, forming intricate, ongoing bonds between those who migrated to Australia and their home villages in China.
