Singapore and New Chinese Migrants

Since Singapore established diplomatic ties with China in 1990, Chinese migrants of various backgrounds and types have arrived in Singapore, forming a numerically significant ethnic group and a remarkable phenomenon.  This public lecture examines the new Chinese migrants from historical perspective and investigates how they interact with the mainstream society in a process of reshaping ethnic boundaries and reconfiguring resources. The focus is on their social organisations and in-groups. It attempts to show how they have undergone segmented assimilation, reshaped identities, and demonstrated many possible outcomes for the future.
