Chinese Overseas in the COVID-19 Pandemic

Europe, North America and Oceania

Series: 

Volume Editors: and
This volume explores how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the lives of Chinese Overseas across Europe, North America, and Oceania. Through empirical case studies, it examines latest transformations within Chinese diasporas in terms of identity building, resilience strategies, anti-Asian racism, and transnational networks. The chapters highlight both adversity—racism, discrimination, exclusion, and precarity—and the emergence of resilience, solidarity, and innovation. By including diverse national contexts, the book offers freshly comparative perspectives on the many facets of Chinese diasporic experiences. It makes a valuable contribution to scholarship on migration, diaspora, ethnicity, race, and global health, offering insights into the evolving dynamics of Chinese overseas in the post-pandemic world.

Contributors are: Alba Colombo Vilarrasa, Carolina Rebollo-Díaz, Francesco Madrisotti, Gao Ying, Irene Rodrigues, Laura Lamas-Abraira, Li Yong, Nathan Daniel Gardner Molina, Russell Jeung, Scarlett Yee-man Ng, Shibao Guo and Yan Guo.
