This path-breaking collection of critical essays introduces a diverse range of approaches to open up the field of modern Chinese literature to new cross-regional, local, and global analyses. Each of the ten essays deals with a particular conceptual problem or case study of different locations and modalities of Chinese-language, or Sinophone, production. From language to music, literature to popular culture, minority politics to internal diaspora, theories of sinography to China's quest for the Nobel Prize, this volume brings together leading and new voices in the study of Chinese literature from a variety of comparative and intranational perspectives. Contributors include scholars from Asia, North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. It is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in contemporary China and the global politics of Sinophone literature. ''This thought-provoking anthology has opened up many fascinating questions. Although its intended readership is scholars from literary studies, anyone who is interested in the interplay between language, ethnicity and identity should not miss it.'' Zhengdao Ye, The Australian National University

    The remarkable influx of Chinese migrant entrepreneurs in West Africa has been met with growing resistance from established African entrepreneurs. Whether the former have a competitive edge over the latter because of distinctive sociocultural traits or whether the Chineseʹs supposed effectiveness is just a characteristic feature of any trading diaspora is open to question. This comparative exploratory study of Chinese and Nigerian entrepreneurial migrants in Ghana and Benin provides initial answers to these questions. Apparently, the cultural stimuli for migrant drivers of change are not restricted to inherited value systems or religions, such as a Protestant ethic or Confucianism; rather, they are continually adapted and invented anew by transnational migration networks in a globalized world. There is no evidence of the supposed superiority of the innovative culture of Chinese entrepreneurial migrants versus that of African entrepreneurial migrants. Rather, there exist trading diasporas which have a generally enhanced innovative capacity vis-à-vis local entrepreneurs, regardless of the national culture in which they are embedded. In addition, the rivalry of Chinese and Nigerian migrant entrepreneurs in African markets does not necessarily lead to the often suspected cut-throat competition. Often the actions of each group are complementary to those of the other. Under certain conditions they even contribute to poverty alleviation in the host country. -- trading diasporas ; international migration ; entrepreneurs ; culture ; innovation ; SMEs ; Africa ; China ; Nigeria ; Cotonou ; Accra Der bemerkenswerte Zustrom von Kleinunternehmern aus China in Westafrika stößt auf wachsenden Widerstand bei etablierten afrikanischen Unternehmern. Ob erstere einen Wettbewerbsvorteil gegenüber letzteren aufgrund bestimmter soziokultureller Merkmale haben, oder ob die vermeintliche größere Effektivität der Chinesen nur ein charakteristisches Merkmal jeder Handels-Diaspora ist, ist eine offene Frage. Diese vergleichende Erkundungsstudie chinesischer und nigerianischer Kleinunternehmer in Ghana und Benin liefert erste Antworten. Offenbar ist die kulturelle Motivationsgrundlage unternehmerischer Migranten als Triebkräfte des Wandels nicht auf tradierte Wertesysteme oder Religionen wie die protestantische Ethik oder den Konfuzianismus beschränkt; vielmehr wird sie im Rahmen transnationaler Migrations-Netzwerke in einer globalisierten Welt ständig neu definiert und angepasst. Es gibt keinen Beleg für die angebliche Überlegenheit chinesischer gegenüber afrikanischen Innovationskulturen unternehmerischer Migranten. Eher existiert, unabhängig vom Rahmen der nationalen Kulturen in die sie eingebettet sind, eine erhöhte Innovationskapazität von Handels-Diasporen gegenüber lokalen Kleinunternehmern im Allgemeinen. Außerdem führt die Rivalität chinesischer und nigerianischer Migranten auf afrikanischen Märkten unter dem Einfluss der Globalisierung nicht notwendigerweise zum angenommenen halsabschneiderischen Wettbewerb. Oft ergänzen sich beide Gruppen. Dies trägt unter bestimmten Bedingungen sogar zur Armutsminderung in den Gastländern bei. (GIGA)

    "One of the most important and one of the most heavily studied ethnic networks in the world is overseas Chinese. However, almost all of the analysis on the economic dimensions of the overseas Chinese network has been about the effects of ethnic ties on the aggregate volume of trade or the effects of ethnic ties on foreign direct investment (FDI) at the country level. In this paper, we add to the large and important collection of literature on the subject by studying the profitability of foreign direct investments made by overseas Chinese in China. Our paper takes advantage of a large dataset-over 50,000 firms over a period of eight years-that is comprised of two types of foreign firms with investments in China-those owned by ethnic Chinese and those owned by non-ethnic Chinese. Against common perceptions, we find that ethnically Chinese firms in China do not outperform non-ethnically Chinese firms by a set of conventional profitability measures. We also find that the performance of ethnically Chinese firms deteriorates over time. One hypothesis explaining this result is that ethnically Chinese firms tend to under-invest in those firm attributes that may enhance long-term performance, such as human capital and technology (proxied by intangible assets in our paper). Indeed we do find evidence that ethnically Chinese firms invest far less in intangible assets and human capital as compared with non-ethnically Chinese firms of similar size, age, and other characteristics. In addition, within strata of matched firms based on their intangible assets and human capital, ethnically Chinese firms no longer display significant dynamic disadvantage relative to non-ethnic firms after controlling for other firm characteristics and fixed effects"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site

    The remarkable influx of Chinese migrant entrepreneurs in West Africa has been met with growing resistance from established African entrepreneurs. Whether the former have a competitive edge over the latter because of distinctive sociocultural traits or whether the Chineseʹs supposed effectiveness is just a characteristic feature of any trading diaspora is open to question. This comparative exploratory study of Chinese and Nigerian entrepreneurial migrants in Ghana and Benin provides initial answers to these questions. Apparently, the cultural stimuli for migrant drivers of change are not restricted to inherited value systems or religions, such as a Protestant ethic or Confucianism; rather, they are continually adapted and invented anew by transnational migration networks in a globalized world. There is no evidence of the supposed superiority of the innovative culture of Chinese entrepreneurial migrants versus that of African entrepreneurial migrants. Rather, there exist trading diasporas which have a generally enhanced innovative capacity vis-à-vis local entrepreneurs, regardless of the national culture in which they are embedded. In addition, the rivalry of Chinese and Nigerian migrant entrepreneurs in African markets does not necessarily lead to the often suspected cut-throat competition. Often the actions of each group are complementary to those of the other. Under certain conditions they even contribute to poverty alleviation in the host country. -- trading diasporas ; international migration ; entrepreneurs ; culture ; innovation ; SMEs ; Africa ; China ; Nigeria ; Cotonou ; Accra Der bemerkenswerte Zustrom von Kleinunternehmern aus China in Westafrika stößt auf wachsenden Widerstand bei etablierten afrikanischen Unternehmern. Ob erstere einen Wettbewerbsvorteil gegenüber letzteren aufgrund bestimmter soziokultureller Merkmale haben, oder ob die vermeintliche größere Effektivität der Chinesen nur ein charakteristisches Merkmal jeder Handels-Diaspora ist, ist eine offene Frage. Diese vergleichende Erkundungsstudie chinesischer und nigerianischer Kleinunternehmer in Ghana und Benin liefert erste Antworten. Offenbar ist die kulturelle Motivationsgrundlage unternehmerischer Migranten als Triebkräfte des Wandels nicht auf tradierte Wertesysteme oder Religionen wie die protestantische Ethik oder den Konfuzianismus beschränkt; vielmehr wird sie im Rahmen transnationaler Migrations-Netzwerke in einer globalisierten Welt ständig neu definiert und angepasst. Es gibt keinen Beleg für die angebliche Überlegenheit chinesischer gegenüber afrikanischen Innovationskulturen unternehmerischer Migranten. Eher existiert, unabhängig vom Rahmen der nationalen Kulturen in die sie eingebettet sind, eine erhöhte Innovationskapazität von Handels-Diasporen gegenüber lokalen Kleinunternehmern im Allgemeinen. Außerdem führt die Rivalität chinesischer und nigerianischer Migranten auf afrikanischen Märkten unter dem Einfluss der Globalisierung nicht notwendigerweise zum angenommenen halsabschneiderischen Wettbewerb. Oft ergänzen sich beide Gruppen. Dies trägt unter bestimmten Bedingungen sogar zur Armutsminderung in den Gastländern bei.
