It took me a while to understand why I found The Encyclopedia of the Chinese Overseas a little disturbing on first reading. There is certainly a lot for general editor Lynn Pan and her contributors to feel very proud of. The scope of this book is quite exceptional; it looks at Chinese diaspora communities all over the globe, from Southeast Asia to Latin America to the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe. In addition, there are a large number of thematic essays that introduce a range of very important issues--such as the nature of diasporas, the history of migrations from China, the institutions of Overseas Chinese communities, and some of the relationships between Overseas Chinese and China--that are crucial in beginning to understand the huge range of diverse experiences and historical circumstances that make up the Chinese diaspora.
