项目摘要

I focused on the most neglected Chinese among the Asians in the Caribbean studies, hence my research contribution to the said area studies both at home and abroad. I have clarified bow their ethnicity has been re-vitalized and how they have contributed to the local society especially with the 150^th anniversary of their arrival, through participant-observations in their special events and lives and both intensive and extensive interviews for many local-born Chinese, who have speedily advanced themselves in socio-economic fields. With the Chinese Open Door policy with reformation since the 1980s, coincided with Jamaica's changed policies to economic liberalization, young Chinese laborers swarmed into the Free Zone factories. Traditional types of migrants through kin networks have also continued. Both movements have greatly challenged the local Chinese community, of which aspects and dynamism I could research on. Especially important was the re-organization of the long-pending Chinese Cemetery, which became desolate through the 70s' radicalization of Jamaica's political economy, which caused 'exodus' of the 'haves' to overseas. It has been possible with the latest knowledge and technology (esp. IT) and transnational diasporic networks of finance connecting generations. Such movements have shown different aspects of macro-scale globalization and micro-level creolization of the mainstream Afro-Creoles, which provide significant examples of differences in glocalization, diaspora studies and transnationalism. Moreover, Guyana exemplifies stark differences, where Indians and Chinese have positioned unequally. Creolized Chinese community have dysfunctioned with their emigration, but new Chinese have taken place. However, their mutual communication have seldom been established due to their differences in language, religion and lifestyles, affecting decisively on their split.

在加勒比海地区的研究中，我主要关注亚洲人中最被忽视的中国人，这也是我对国内外该地区研究的贡献。我已经澄清了他们的民族已经重新焕发活力，以及他们如何为当地社会做出贡献，特别是在他们到来的150周年之际，通过参与者对他们特殊事件和生活的观察，以及对许多在社会经济领域迅速发展的当地出生的中国人的深入和广泛的采访。80年代以来，中国实行改革开放政策，牙买加实行经济自由化政策，年轻的中国劳工涌入自由区的工厂。通过亲属网络进行的传统类型的移民也继续存在。这两次运动都对当地华人社区提出了巨大的挑战，我可以研究其中的方面和活力。特别重要的是长期悬而未决的华人墓地的重组，由于70年代牙买加政治经济的激进化，导致“富人”“外流”到海外，华人墓地变得荒凉。最新的知识和技术（特别是信息技术）以及连接几代人的跨国散居金融网络使之成为可能。这些运动显示了宏观全球化和主流非洲-克里奥尔人的微观克里奥尔化的不同方面，这提供了全球本地化、散居研究和跨国主义差异的重要例子。此外，圭亚那体现了明显的差异，印度人和中国人的地位不平等。克理奥尔化的华人社区在他们的移民中功能失调，但新的华人已经出现。然而，由于语言、宗教、生活方式等方面的差异，他们之间的交流很少，这对他们的分裂产生了决定性的影响。
