In the circumstance of the Chinesse emigrants going abroad to seek shelter and find new lands, especially southeast Asia, Dang Trong of Dai Viet kingdom has gradually become a point of arrival which attracts them strongly. Depending on geographic position of contigous sea and advantage of Dang Trong context at home and abroad, Chinese merchants and emigrants have come to the central coastal parts (especially in Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, and Phu Yen). Having settled in southeast Asia region as well as in the central part of Vietnam, Chinese emigrants have preseved their traditional culture to gain achievements in this land region. Besides, they have actively integrated into native communities, exchanging culture for prosperity and development. This paper indicates cultural exchanges, integration and development of the Hoa in the central coastal provinces in history and present, which asserts their contributions in the fields of culture, economy and society to build Vietnam nation, notably in the age of present international integration.

This coda concludes the book by examining how the United States and its Southeast Asian allies responded to the fall of Saigon to communist forces in 1975. It shows that the regimes of the arc of containment did not proceed to topple like dominoes to communist factions at home, or bow to Chinese or Soviet power, but instead elected to reinforce their ties with Washington. Equally, U.S. policymakers discerned this “reverse domino effect” across Asia (or so they termed it) and unreservedly renewed American economic, political and military commitments to their allies in the region. Given that the arc of containment underpinned imperial transition and the rise of U.S. empire in Southeast Asia, the coda contends that reversals of the domino theory, not its fulfilment, were the true prevailing motif of American interference in the region’s fraught decolonization after the Pacific War.

The antitrafficking movement in Thailand suggests shifting approaches to social justice. Initially seeking to end trafficking through traditional missionary work and by rescuing victims from brothels, evangelical antitraffickers in Thailand began halting journeys away from a methodology of “rescue.” Many have moved toward prevention, protection, policy, partnership, and indigeneity in their methods. This trajectory, however, is resisted by many American evangelical populists at home. Antitraffickers, who must participate in the humanitarian marketplace, are thus compelled to narrate rescue, even though it contradicts the message they want to communicate about their work. Neocolonial sensibilities still persist as donor maintenance prevents humanitarians from fully describing on-the-ground realities. Nevertheless, the campaign for human rights in Southeast Asia reflects the ways in which the social justice work of American evangelicals continues to be challenged by international contexts.

Qiaopi and yinxin are Chinese names given to letters written home by Chinese emigrants, in the 150 years starting from the 1820s. Estimates of the number of qiaopi collected in China range from 160,000 to more than 300,000, sent back to China from main regions of settlement of overseas Chinese, in Southeast Asia and in the Americas and the Pacific (the focus of this chapter). Recent scholarship on qiaopi has focused on remittance networks associated with these letters or the analysis of their content. This chapter examines a hitherto overlooked dimension in qiaopi studies and diasporic Chinese studies, its function as charity, and the operational mechanisms, impact, and theoretical implications of qiaopi charity. We argue that qiaopi and the associated qiaohui networks served as important arenas of diasporic Chinese charity, which in turn connected overseas Chinese and China and thus contributed to the formation of transnational China. This chapter concludes that qiaopi exemplified a key characteristic of diasporic Chinese charity, its systemic combination of individual and family giving and donations to institutions. In China, charity truly “began at home” in two senses: family and friends came first, and the charitable idea was in large part indigenous in shape and conception.

North Korea's nuclear weapons test prompted U.S. international activism to curb Pyongyang's proliferation and press it to negotiate. Preoccupied with higher priorities at home and abroad, the Bush administration generally continued along established paths in Asia. Initiatives came in U.S. relations with India, Kazakhstan, and Southeast Asia.

Around the turn of the century, railroads seemed to have a special attraction for the overseas Chinese. In that era, the iron horse was, indeed, the very symbol of the industrial age brought to Asia. Chinese modernizers had long advocated the construction of railroads as a crucial step toward self-strengthening. Many coolies had worked on the great American, Canadian and South African railways and shorter lines had been built in colonial Southeast Asia. Peasants in South China may still have feared the disruptive introduction of Western technology, but more worldly Chinese at home and abroad understood the significance of railroads not only as an improved means of transportation but as a symbol of Wealth and power.

History Of

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.

This study attempted to maximize environmental language learning for four hearing-impaired children. The children's mothers were systematically trained to present specific language symbols to their children at home. An increase in meaningful use of these words was observed during therapy sessions. In addition, as the mothers began to generalize the language exposure strategies, an increase was observed in the children's use of words not specifically identified by the clinician as targets.
