  • Fuzhou Chinese Speech Group and Associations: Online Debates Over the Landmarks of Manhattan Chinatown After 9/11
    Journal of Chinese Overseas 8 (2012) 232-264 brill.com/jco Fuzhou Chinese Speech Group and Associations: Online Debates over the Landmarks of Manhattan Chinatown after 9/11 Ann Shu-ju Chiu* Abstract After the terrorist attack of 11 September 2001, both the Cantonese and Fujianese immigrants in New York City’s Manhattan Chinatown felt the need for the reconstruction of their commu- nities. Fuzhou migrants put up their hometown website, Fujianese.com, when the City Govern- ment provided a relief fund and initiated certain projects for the rebirth of Chinatown. Discussions relating to the shaping of the webscape and landscape can be gleaned from their online debates over the cultural landmarks of Manhattan Chinatown built with the 9/11 fund- ing. In analyzing Fujianese.com, we find a sub-ethnic awareness emerging from among the Fuzhou migrants concerned about their community participation in the host society. This web- site has nurtured a sub-ethnic sentiment and strengthened the identity of its members. The online discourses are important sources of information for studying the issue of dialect grouping and territorial association. Keywords Fuzhou Chinese Associations, Hometown website, New York Analyzing the Online Discourse of the Fuzhou Chinese Speech Group Long before the Internet age, Chinese overseas had developed their clan asso- ciations with a view to improving their social life. Anthropologists writing in the 1960s first suggested that “dialect grouping” and “territorial association” provided a major framework of organization in Chinese overseas commu- nities. Maurice Freedman (1960) studied the immigrant associations of 19th-century Singapore and Lawrence Crissman (1967) analyzed the seg- mented structure of urban Chinese communities in Southeast Asia.
