Summary
"'How did migration affect those who moved and the places the emigrants moved through?' Coming Home to a Foreign Country addresses this question by focusing on the treaty port Xiamen (Amoy) and the Chinese who migrated out of China-mostly to Southeast Asia-and then returned to participate in the city's economic revitalization, educational advancement, and urban reconstruction"-- Provided by publisher
