This dissertation examines a type of internal migration that has received scant attention before: the ethnic affinity migration in which natives who are ethnic minorities migrate domestically towards immigrant groups that they share ethnic connections to. Specifically, I study the internal migration of Hui Muslims from Northwest China and Korean-Chinese from Northeast China to an international trade city called Yiwu in Southeast China, where there are many Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and South Korean merchants. I examine the mechanisms of their migration, the role of ethnicity and transnational ethnoreligious ties in their adaptation, their social relations to the transnational coethnics/coreligionists, and whether the presence of these transnational coethnics/coreligionists affect their ethnic identity formation and ethnic boundaries. To answer these questions, I conducted in-depth interviews with 40 Hui and 36 Korean-Chinese internal migrants in Yiwu and participant observation in the Yiwu market and various migrant communities.I find that preservation of ethnic traits and historical and/or contemporary transnational connections played important roles in the two groups' internal migration: Hui's ethnic capital in Yiwu's international trade industry was largely mediated through Arabic language training, which was historically intertwined with their religious education and connections to the Arab world, while Korean-Chinese's migration to Yiwu was influenced by the South Korean immigration policy. The two groups' cultural and linguistic connections to their transnational coethnics/coreligionists facilitated cooperation in work and business, but Hui were also negatively impacted by prejudice and discrimination from Han, MENA Muslims, and non-Muslim foreigners. Both Hui and Korean-Chinese in Yiwu preserved their ethnic boundaries while slightly mixing with the foreign Muslim communities and South Korean community. While most respondents from both groups believed that their self-identity had not changed, patterns of secularization and resurgence of Muslim identity were both found among Hui migrants. These findings contribute to our knowledge about linkages between internal and international migration, ethnic boundary-making, and ethnic identity formation.
