With China's rise, to what extent has the expansion of its \"soft power\" swayed the changing identities of the Chinese overseas? A Virtual Chinatown provides a timely and original analysis to answer such questions.  Using a media and communication studies approach to investigate the reciprocal relationship between Chinese-language media and the Chinese migrant community in New Zealand, Phoebe Li goes beyond conventional scholarship on the Chinese Diaspora as practised by social historians, anthropologists and demographers. Written in an accessible and reader-friendly manner, this book will also appeal to academics and students with interests in other transnational communities, alternative media, and minority politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Part sociology, part history, and part media studies, Li’s book offers a fascinating window into modern migration and integration.[...] This is a book for anyone interested in the dynamics of contemporary Chinese migration and in many of the social impacts throughout the world of China’s economic and geopolitical rise.\"  – Howard Duncan, Metropolis Project, Carleton University, in Journal of Chinese Overseas 10.1 (2014).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One  Introduction               China’s New Wave of International Migration                New Zealand Local Contexts                New People, New Approach                Diasporic Chinese Media beyond New Zealand  Chapter Two  Conceptualising New Zealand Chinese Media               Central Concepts               Towards an Analytical Framework  Chapter Three  Revisting the History of New Zealand Chinese and Early Chinese Newspapers               Chinese Immigration: From Sojourners to Settlers               Early Chinese Newspapers               Rethinking Early Chinese Newspapers  Chapter Four  New Chinese Immigrants and Contemporary New Zealand Chinese Media               New Zealand Chinese Media                A New Wave of Chinese Immigration                Making a PRC Chinese Community                PRC Chinese and Others’ Settlement                Evolution of New Chinese Media                The New Chinese Community in their Own Media   Chapter Five Ethnic Chinese Media during the 2005 New Zealand General Election               Research Design and Background Information               Phase 1: New Zealand Election in Chinese Media                Phase 2: Relationship between Chinese Media and Migrants                Phase 3: A Perspective from Media Personnel               Summary  Chapter Six  Recent PRC Migrants in the Diasporic Mediasphere               New Zealand Politics in Ethnic Chinese Media               Recent PRC Migrants' Affinity with Conservative Parties               Patriotic Sentiment Towards China  Chapter Seven  Conclusions               New Insight into the Chinese in New Zealand               Expansion of China's 'Soft Power'               Chinese Media as an 'Imagined Chinatown'","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210641662295,"sku":"9789004258631","price":119.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-virtual-chinatown-the-diasporic-mediasphere-of-chinese-migrants-in-new-zealand-9789004258631","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
