This dissertation examines how constructions of shared Chinese heritage are created and can serve to both bring together and to differentiate Chinese in the diaspora from one another. Through examining how Chinese Americans research and write their family histories, this research looks at the dilemma faced by Chinese Americans to both acknowledge a Chinese heritage, and at the same time create a modern identity as "Chinese American" that stands on its own in relation to mainland China (which has long been the symbolic center of Chinese identities abroad). At the same time, it examines changing views of Guangdong Chinese toward Chinese from both inland China and abroad in the wake of over fifteen years of economic reforms in the region. Conceptions of Chineseness play off one another at these extreme ends of the so-called "Chinese diaspora" and are brought together through programs jointly sponsored by Chinese American organizations and the PRC government that bring Chinese Americans to visit their ancestral villages in China.

520 $a This dissertation examines how constructions of shared Chinese heritage are created and can serve to both bring together and to differentiate Chinese in the diaspora from one another. Through examining how Chinese Americans research and write their family histories, this research looks at the dilemma faced by Chinese Americans to both acknowledge a Chinese heritage, and at the same time create a modern identity as "Chinese American" that stands on its own in relation to mainland China (which has long been the symbolic center of Chinese identities abroad). At the same time, it examines changing views of Guangdong Chinese toward Chinese from both inland China and abroad in the wake of over fifteen years of economic reforms in the region. Conceptions of Chineseness play off one another at these extreme ends of the so-called "Chinese diaspora" and are brought together through programs jointly sponsored by Chinese American organizations and the PRC government that bring Chinese Americans to visit their ancestral villages in China.
520 $a By means of situational frames I explore the diversity of meanings of "Chineseness" and the possibilities of various levels of identification as Chinese and with the Chinese nation state. In one sense, conceptions of Chinese identity are constrained within a historically rooted, sinocentric world view that formed the culturalistic conceptions of Chineseness which shaped the form that modern Chinese nationalism took. But in another sense, diaspora identities are not only formed in relation to (and perhaps in tension with) the Chinese nation state, but are also responsive to transnational forces as they are manifested locally.
520 $a Diaspora and transnational theories whose focus on "transmigrants" excludes those who have not emigrated and those born abroad who will not return to the "homeland" severely limit a holistic perspective. This dissertation constructively critiques and combines aspects of a variety of perspectives through looking at how cultural identities are negotiated in the context of power relations that are transnational in scope, and the role that the construction of localized histories and the creation of shared rites of solidarity play in identity politics.
