"Young traces the pivotal century of Chinese migration to the Americas, beginning with the 1840s at the start of the 'coolie' trade and ending during World War II. This book is the first transnational history of Chinese migration to the Americas. By focusing on the fluidity and complexity of border crossings throughout the Western Hemisphere, Young shows us how Chinese migrants constructed alternative communities and identities through these transnational pathways"--Provided by publisher.

Résultant d’une convergence entre la recherche de main d’œuvre de l’administration de la Guerre française, malgré des désaccords au sein du gouvernement, et la volonté des autorités chinoises de se rapprocher des Alliés afin de se préserver des visées japonaises, environ 37 000 Chinois débarquèrent à Marseille à partir du 24 août 1916. L’auteur retrace au travers d’une approche chronologique et thématique le parcours de ces travailleurs, soumis à un encadrement militaire tenu d’exercer un contrôle étroit. Il étudie leurs conditions d’existence pour le moins difficiles, confrontés aux pénuries de toutes sortes et aux mauvaises volontés d’employeurs, publics ou privés, peu soucieux de respecter les engagements pris. Il explore l’environnement dans lequel ces Chinois furent immergés, environnement fréquemment hostile, marqué par une image dépréciative dont ils étaient porteurs et par la méfiance d’un monde ouvrier qui voyait en eux une concurrence déloyale, à l’origine de nombreux actes de violence souvent subis mais aussi commis par certains d’entre eux, y compris à l’encontre de leurs compatriotes. Étant considérés inassimilables, comme les travailleurs coloniaux recrutés pour participer à l’effort de guerre, ils ne devaient pas rester en France, et l’auteur examine les diverses modalités déployées pour les rapatrier, notamment après l’expérience douloureuse des régions libérées, ainsi que les conditions très restrictives imposées à ceux qui purent se maintenir en France.

"Building on her path-breaking work on Chinese in mining areas of the American West, Sue Fawn Chung takes up the topic of Chinese in the nineteenth century lumber industry in this new book. Chinese immigrants were key participants in logging and lumbering, in some cases constituting as much as 90 percent of the lumbering workforce. Chung sets out the background of interest in logging in China and examines the Chinese and American labor contractors, the community organizations and networks that supported them, and some of the reasons Chinese were attracted to logging in the west. She explicates their work, lifestyle, and wages, the lumber companies that employed them, their relationship with other ethnic groups, and the reasons for their departure from this occupation, including tightening immigration restrictions. Among other findings, Chung shows that Chinese performed most of the tasks that Euro-American lumbermen did, that their salaries for the same type of work in some places were not necessarily lower than the prevailing wage for non-Asian workers and in some cases even higher, that although some were separated in their work from other ethnic groups, some developed close relationships with their fellow workers and employers, and that Chinese camp cooks were valued and paid equal or better wages than their Euro-American counterparts. When they were treated unfairly, Chinese often brought their cases before the American courts and through the legal system won the right to buy and sell timberland and to obtain equal wages in logging. Based on exhaustive archival work, this project will expand understandings of the Chinese in the West and in working class history"--Provided by publisher.

China's recent stepping up of relations with Africa is one of the most significant developments on the African continent for decades. For some it promises an end to Africa's dependent aid relationships as the Chinese bring expertise, technology, and a stronger business focus. But for others it is no more than a new form of imperialism. This book is the first to systematically study the motivations, relationships, and impact of this migration. It focuses not just on the Chinese migrants but also on the perceptions of, and linkages to, their African 'hosts'. By studying this everyday interaction we get a much richer picture of whether this is South-South cooperation, as the political leaders would have us believe, or a more complex relationship that can both compromise and encourage African development.

Cent quarante mille Chinois ont travaillé en France pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Cette histoire est restée longtemps méconnue du public. Que faisaient-ils dans cette « guerre européenne » ? Comment ont-ils été recrutés et transportés ? Où se trouvaient-ils, et pour quoi faire ? Que sont-ils devenus ? Quel est héritage de cette expérience ? L'ensemble de ces questions, par leurs multiples ramifications, touche non seulement à l'histoire de la Grande Guerre, mais aussi à l'histoire de la Chine. Cet épisode s'inscrit dans une période décisive de l'histoire mondiale : la Conférence de paix de Paris a déclenché le « Mouvement du 4 mai » (1919), soulèvement patriotique, considéré comme l'acte de naissance de la modernité chinoise. Cet ouvrage, le premier en langue française qui fait œuvre de synthèse, réunit les recherches les plus récentes sur le sujet, en s'appuyant sur des documents originaux, archives et sources primaires chinoises, et en présentant des témoignages inédits.
