Consistent with this approach, the dissertation examines Chinese immigration to Mexico within the context of the global Chinese diaspora of the mid-nineteenth through early twentieth centuries, and analyzes the significant historical connections between Chinese migration to Mexico during these years and earlier and contemporaneous movements of Chinese immigrants to the United States. This study illuminates the many transnational socio-economic and political linkages that members of the Chinese colony of Mexico shared with both their home villages and fellow compatriots in places such as the United States and Cuba. It examines such linkages in the forms of transnational border networks, transnational business investments in Mexican commercial projects by wealthy Chinese merchants of San Francisco, human smuggling networks involving the United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Canada, the maintenance of transpacific families, and the development of Mexican branches of mainland Chinese political organizations such as the Guamindong. |
