Self description: "The CSCSD will be a permanent focus for research and teaching on people of Chinese descent in Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific and their interaction with other societies and cultures in the region. It will investigate such themes as the role of transnational communities in an increasingly globalised world, the central but contested role of Sino-Southeast Asians and Sino-Australasians in their local economies, multiple identities, cultural heritage and the political management of minority status." _______________________________________________________ With kind regards, Hanno Lecher ([log in to unmask]) INTERNET GUIDE FOR CHINA STUDIES -- editor http://sun.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/igcs/ _______________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to: [log in to unmask] containing the following message: SIGNOFF IGCS-L
