Guest People: Hakka Identity in China and Abroad (Studies on Ethnic Groups in China) Book

The essays in this volume analyze and compare what it means to be Hakka in a variety of sociocultural, political, geographical, and historical contexts including Malaysia, Hong Kong, Calcutta, Taiwan, and contemporary China.
