摘要:"This book examines the role of Chinese-language media in the Chinese diaspora, focusing in particular on the Chinese communities in the United States, Canada, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. It sets out the history of Chinese-language media and their relationship to trade and commerce - often a key activity of overseas Chinese - and outlines the patterns and mechanisms of the circulation and trafficking of Chinese-language media products. It considers the role of the media in forming and strengthening Chinese communities, and the production and consumption of various media narratives of being 'Chinese' in particular multicultural, multiracial and multiethnic societies. , It demonstrates the ways in which Chinese-language media facilitate trade and commerce, and at the same time help to shape and negotiate the identities of Chinese communities. Overall, this book provides a rigorous appraisal of the role of the media in the Chinese diaspora, revealing a great deal about the vibrancy and dynamism of Chinese-language media, and showing how they play a crucial role in the changing nature of the Chinese diaspora."--BOOK JACKET.
