  • Migrant Cross-Cultural Encounters in Asia and the Pacific
    Copyright Material – Provided by Taylor & Francis Migrant Cross-Cultural Encounters in Asia and the Pacific In contrast to much scholarship on cross-cultural encounters, which focuses pri- marily on contact between indigenous peoples and ‛settlers’ or ‛sojourners’, this book is concerned with migrant aspects of this phenomenon – whether migrant– migrant or migrant–host encounters – bringing together studies from a variety of perspectives on cross-cultural encounters, their past, and their resonances across the contemporary Asia–Pacific region. Organised thematically into sec- tions focusing on ‘imperial encounters’ of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, ‛identities’ in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and ‛contemporary citizen- ship’ and the ways in which this is complicated by mobility and cross-cultural encounters, the volume presents studies of New Zealand, Singapore, Australia, Vanuatu, Mauritius and China to highlight key themes of mobility, intimacies, ethnicity and ‛race’, heritage and diaspora through rich evidence such as pho- tographs, census data, the arts and interviews. Demonstrating the importance of multidisciplinary ways of looking at migrant cross-cultural encounters through blending historical and social science methodologies from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, Migrant Cross-Cultural Encounters in Asia and the Pacific will appeal to anthropologists, sociologists, cultural geographers and historians with interests in migration, mobility and cross-cultural encounters.

    Chinese Southern Diaspora Studies, Volume Two, 2008 南方华裔研究杂志, 第二卷, 2008 From Fraternities to Families: The Evolution of Chinese Life in the Braidwood District of New South Wales (NSW), 1850s-1890s ©2008 Barry McGowan Abstract: This article builds upon a recent study of Chinese heritage in southern NSW and on insights by historians like John Fitzgerald, Cai Shaoqing and Kok Hu Jin on the role of fraternal organisations in Chinese life in Australia. It focuses on Braidwood town and district in southern NSW. The paper locates the Braidwood Chinese goldminers in the context of the literature on Chinese fraternal organisations in China, Southeast Asia and Australia before focusing on the life of the Chinese between 1858 and 1870, when their presence was at its peak. The last section considers the years between 1870 and 1900, a time of social and economic transition as several Chinese families settled in Braidwood, endowing the town with a flourishing if little known Chinese–Australian past. Introduction 1 The Chinese diaspora in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was closely linked to mining, for instance, to tin in Kalimantan (Borneo) and the Malayan Peninsula and to gold in California, and later in Australia. In Australia the first Chinese people to arrive in any number came as indentured labourers in 1847, to work primarily on pastoral properties. Significant numbers of Chinese came with the gold rushes, which began in Victoria and NSW in 1851. Their first destination was Victoria. Many historians see the advent of the gold rushes in 1851 as one of the most important events in Australian history, an event which reshaped the demographic, political and economic contours of the country.

  • To His Home at Jembaicumbene’ Women’S Cross-Cultural Encounters on a Colonial Goldfield
    Copyright Material – Provided by Taylor & Francis 3 ‘To his home at Jembaicumbene’ Women’s cross-cultural encounters on a colonial goldfield Kate Bagnall In January 1869 the Sydney Morning Herald and several other colonial news- papers reported the arrival of a Chinese woman on the Braidwood goldfields, reprinting an article that had earlier appeared in the Braidwood Dispatch . 1 The article told how a local Chinese storekeeper had ‘just returned from Melbourne with a Chinese lady whom his parents selected for him in his native land and sent out to him to become his wife’. They had been married then gone together ‘to his home at Jembaicumbene’, a bustling mining settlement 10 kilometres south of the town of Braidwood along the Major’s Creek road. The arrival of a Chinese woman in New South Wales was a notable curiosity for the colonial press. With the discovery of gold, the number of Chinese men in the colony had swelled from 1,800 in 1856 to 12,986 in 1861, falling again to 7,208 in 1871. 2 The number of Chinese women, however, remained consistently small. The 1861 census for New South Wales recorded just two Chinese women, while the 1871 census recorded 12.3 Two of the 12 Chinese women counted in the 1871 census lived at Jembaicumbene – the storekeeper’s wife and another woman who, it seems, had arrived some years earlier. An article published in the Sydney Morning Herald in July 1865 noted that among the Chinese at Braidwood was ‘one solitary specimen of female loveliness’, who could be found living on the Jembaicumbene goldfields.4 In 1871 a further 324 women and girls – born in the colonies or in Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales – also made Jembaicumbene their home.
