This dissertation examines the history of the making of "the overseas Chinese" (huaqiao) in China from 1890 to 1966. Emerged only in the 1890s, the term huaqiao referred broadly to Chinese sojourning from China during the course of an expansive project to incorporate Chinese abroad into the Chinese nation. The project was spearheaded in the late nineteenth century by diplomats, reformers, and revolutionaries, all of whom operated overseas and came to view huaqiao as a vital resource. This transnational vision of the nation remained central to Republican and Communist governance until the 1960s.

520 $a This dissertation examines the history of the making of "the overseas Chinese" (huaqiao) in China from 1890 to 1966. Emerged only in the 1890s, the term huaqiao referred broadly to Chinese sojourning from China during the course of an expansive project to incorporate Chinese abroad into the Chinese nation. The project was spearheaded in the late nineteenth century by diplomats, reformers, and revolutionaries, all of whom operated overseas and came to view huaqiao as a vital resource. This transnational vision of the nation remained central to Republican and Communist governance until the 1960s.
520 $a But the huaqiao project itself was marked by constant change and vast heterogeneity, producing friction in many instances that upset the imagined union of China and Chinese abroad. As it turned out, huaqiao were not simply Chinese who lived elsewhere waiting to be awakened and led by the homeland. Rather, they emerged as a congeries of unruly elements encompassing intellectuals who brought conflicting ideas about nation and culture based on colonial experiences abroad in the 1920s and 1930s, transnational communities that posed a seeming threat to domestic political order in the 1950s, and returnees who came to Chinese shores from all backgrounds and were highly critical of government policies in the 1950s and 1960s.
520 $a Troubled, declared obsolete in state discourses both in China and beyond during the 1960s, the huaqiao project is nonetheless unfinished. Revived and active is the notion that China is the cultural and ethnic homeland of Chinese globally, as expressed in the new terms, huaren (persons of Chinese culture) and huayi (persons of Chinese descent). The huaqiao project suggests that the making of an overseas Chinese identity always intersected with dilemmas of opportunity and belonging facing communities and nations in a globalizing world. The huaqiao project is unfinished because these dilemmas were not, and are unlikely to be, easily resolved.
