This collection explores the histories and contemporary experiences of Chinese communities in Papua New Guinea. Contributors connect migration, family memories and citizenship with the changing relationships among traders, workers, businesses and local communities.
Chapters examine archival research in the Sepik, the history of a Chinese family, colonial nationality rules and more recent migration. Studies of the sea-cucumber trade, a nickel refinery, market bargaining and language show different forms of everyday economic interaction. Other contributions consider international rivalry and possible futures. The volume combines research essays with personal reflections and preserves its original photographs, tables and references.
