  • Varieties of Chinese Experience in the Pacific

    Varieties of Chinese Experience in the Pacific

    CSCSD Occasional Paper Number 1, 2007 Varieties of Chinese Experience in the Pacific Bill Willmott I was born and brought up in Chengdu, China, and my love affair with China has continued to this day. Overseas Chinese communities became the major focus of my academic research first in Cambodia, then in British Columbia, and most recently in the Pacific Island countries.1 My interest in Chinese communities has always been social and cultural rather than political. The policies and activities of successive Chinese governments have not received attention from me except to the extent that they affected the structure and activities of the Chinese community I was studying. In contrast, much of the recent literature on “Chinese in the Pacific” has been concerned with either the competition between Beijing and Taiwan or with the growing role of China in aid and trade in the region. Not much I have done contributes light on those topics. When I turned my attention to the South Pacific, it seemed to me that its Chinese communities represented a lacuna in the growing corpus of work on the thirty million Chinese abroad. In terms of books, there were only David Wu’s valuable study on Papua New Guinea, Stuart Greif’s less than satisfactory book on Fiji, Gérald Coppenrath’s outdated book on Tahiti, and Nancy Tom’s fictionalised account of Western Samoa.2 I began research with two aims in mind: to fill that lacuna with some useful information and to encourage resident Chinese to research their own communities. In both I have been only minimally successful,

    The Construction of Sino-Muslim Histories and Identities in the Early Twentieth Century

    “Awakening” Country and Faith: The Construction of Sino-Muslim Histories and Identities in the Early Twentieth Century Mengyu Huang Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in East Asian Studies April 2012 © 2012 Mengyu Huang Acknowledgments It is my pleasure to thank the many people who made this thesis possible. Foremost, I must express sincere gratitude to my advisors Professors C. Pat Giersch and Y. Tak Matsusaka. Their guidance, encouragement, patience, and knowledge were all key ingredients in bringing this thesis to fruition. Professor Giersch’s “Chinese Frontier Experience, 1600 to the Present” seminar deserves credit for sparking and sustaining my interest in exploring Chinese ethnopolicy and Sino-Muslims. I am indebted to his advice throughout the initial planning and research stages. I am equally indebted to Professor Matsusaka for his assistance throughout the writing process. His careful reading of the drafts and always-insightful comments helped me sharpen my arguments and bring out the “melody” of each chapter. Any remaining mistakes are, of course, my own. I must also extend my gratitude to the East Asian Studies Department for being my academic home throughout my four years at Wellesley and to director Professor Katharine Moon for her tremendous efforts in strengthening the program and resources available to majors. Professors Ellen Widmer and David Lindauer also deserve many warm and heartfelt thanks for serving as my major advisors and for further enriching my undergraduate academic experience. The History Department deserves recognition for generously allowing me to participate in its honor thesis writing workshop. A special thanks to Professor Alejandra Osorio for leading the workshop and providing the extra push (i.e.

    Islamic Modernism in China: Chinese Muslim Elites, Guomindang Nation-Building, and the Limits of the Global Umma, 1900-1960 John Tseh-han Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 John Tseh-han Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Islamic Modernism in China: Chinese Muslim Elites, Guomindang Nation-Building, and the Limits of the Global Umma, 1900-1960 John Tseh-han Chen Modern Chinese Muslims’ increasing connections with the Islamic world conditioned and were conditioned by their elites’ integrationist politics in China. Chinese Muslims (the “Hui”) faced a predicament during the Qing and Ottoman empire-to-nation transitions, seeking both increased contact with Muslims outside China and greater physical and sociopolitical security within the new Chinese nation-state. On the one hand, new communication and transport technologies allowed them unprecedented opportunities for transnational dialogue after centuries of real and perceived isolation. On the other, the Qing’s violent suppression of Muslim uprisings in the late nineteenth century loomed over them, as did the inescapable Han-centrism of Chinese nationalism, the ongoing intercommunal tensions between Muslims and Han, and the general territorial instability of China’s Republican era (1911-49). As a result, Islamic modernism—a set of positions emphasizing both reason and orthodoxy, and arguing that true or original Islam is compatible with science, education, democracy, women’s rights, and other “modern” norms— took on new meanings in the context of Chinese nation-making. In an emerging dynamic, ethos, and discourse of “transnationalist integrationism,” leading Chinese Muslims transformed Islamic modernism, a supposedly foreign body of thought meant to promote unity and renewal, into a reservoir of concepts and arguments to explain and justify the place of Islam and Muslims in China, and in so doing made it an integral component of Chinese state- and nation-building.

Spennemann Institute for Land, Water and Society, Charles Sturt University, Albury, NSW 2640, Australia; [email protected] Abstract: While island resorts in the South Pacific are primarily marketed as sun, sea and sand destinations, cultural dimensions value-add to and diversify the product for mixed audiences. Resort developments require, at minimum, the compliance with legally mandated environmental standards and adherence to national employment legislation. Socio-culturally and environmentally sustainable tourism concepts should exceed mandated environmental standards and be characterised by a close involvement with and respect for the expectations of local host communities who may hold land and/or traditional usufruct rights. But do resort developments comply? Using an example of a resort established on free-hold land during the pioneering days of resort development in Fiji, the aim of this paper is to provide a deliberation of the tension between organic resort development and sustainable tourism on private land. It will show that, where cultural and environmental planning controls were absent, development not only could progress unfettered but also that changes to tourism philosophies are not necessarily reflected in changes to a resort. The island of Malolo Lailai (Viti Levu, Fiji) has a rich and multi-layered history and heritage (Fijian, European and Chinese plantations, resort development) that provides an opportunity to value-add to the tourist experience. In reality, however, the ongoing resort development extinguishes past histories in favour of a post- occupation, twentieth-century colonial settler narrative, where heritage sites are merely allowed to Citation: Spennemann, D.H.R.

  • [Working Title: Chinese Muslim Students at Al-Azhar University]

    [Working Title: Chinese Muslim Students at Al-Azhar University]

    Chinese Students of Al-Azhar and their impact on Sino-Egyptian Relations Maurice Gajan Abstract China‟s Muslims, a diverse minority of approximately 23 million people, have played an influential role in Chinese foreign policy throughout the past century. Successive Chinese governments have employed the transnational ties of the Muslim minority, as a diplomatic tool to establish and strengthen its ties with Islamic countries As one aspect of this Islamic diplomacy, China has sponsored the scholarship of Chinese Muslims at Cairo‟s renowned Al- Azhar University This paper assesses the influence of Chinese Al-Azhar students on Sino- Egyptian relations since the 1930s, focusing on the students‟ individual agency. In the 1930s, the Guomindang first sponsored the education of Hui Muslim scholars at Al-Azhar. Chinese Azharites of that time became influential in shaping Sino-Egyptian relations, often engaging in informal „citizen diplomacy‟. After the Chinese revolution in 1949, the Communist government terminated the scholarship program to Al-Azhar. Yet, it continued to exploit Chinese Muslims‟ transnational ties to establish relations with Islamic countries. The economic and political opening of China since the late 1970s saw the re-establishment of state-sponsored scholarships to Al-Azhar. Since then, the number of Chinese Al-Azhar students has been on the rise; the vast majority of them, however, arrive without scholarships. China‟s increasing economic and political power, as well as the all-encompassing nation state, have rendered Islamic diplomacy continuously less important. Thus, the current generation of Chinese Azharites does not wield nearly the same influence, as the scholars of the 1930s.

    Reflections on the Studies of Overseas Chinese in the Pacific*

    Reflections on the Studies of Overseas Chinese in the Pacific* Yuan-Chao Tung Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology National Taiwan University Introduction Population movement has been a constant phenomenon in human societies before and after the term globalization came into existence. Equipped with navigational skills, the Austronesian-speakers have used the Pacific Ocean like a highway. Yet, on the high sea, there have been other non-Austronesian speakers, notably Europeans and Asians. Europeans intermittently visited the Pacific first as explorers and traders and gradually became settled planters and colonists in the 19th century. There were settler colonies such as Australia and New Zealand under the British influence and New Caledonia under the French control. Sugarcane plantations in Queensland and Fiji, phosphate mines in Banaba (Kiribati), Makatea (French Polynesia) and Nauru and coconut plantations on many islands all needed external labor for the exploitation of resources. This imbalance of labor was a significant force in the shaping of contemporary composition of populations in the Pacific. People moved from densely populated areas to where laborers * Revised version of the paper presented at the International Conference on Retrospects and Prospects of Pacific Islands Studies in Taiwan held by CAPAS, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan, June 24, 2005. Publications reviewed in this article are limited to those available in libraries in Taipei area, through electronic journals and interlibrary loans. University libraries have a better collection of studies on Australia and New Zealand Chinese due to recent immigration from Taiwan to these two countries. Publications on other small Pacific societies are scant. Internet provides some information concerning the Chinese presence, but the information is hardly scholarly.
