Opportunity in Crisis

More about the book

Focusing on the late Qing period, the book examines the migration of Cantonese people along the West River and overseas, presenting it as a significant phase of diasporic growth rather than merely a time of state decline. Steven B. Miles reframes this historical narrative, highlighting the interconnectedness of upriver and overseas movements, and shedding light on the broader implications of Cantonese migration during this transformative era.
