These debates are fundamental to understanding how a sense of national unity in Papua New Guinea is formed, as well as within analyses of the wider world of strategic power dynamics and influence. <em>The Chinese in Papua New Guinea</em> offers a comprehensive and nuanced examination of the Chinese in Papua New Guinea. Chinese, Papua New Guinean and Australian interactions are analysed in the context of ongoing shifts in colonial power, increased regional engagement with China, and current political instabilities across the Indo-Pacific region. The many ways the Chinese have been defined as actors in PNG’s history and politics are analysed against the backdrop of a rapidly changing global order. The complexity of Chinese experiences within Papua New Guinea is given expression, here, with chapters that stress political and historical heterogeneity, the importance of language for understanding Chinese social relations, and that articulate rich personal experiences of race relations.</p> " /> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" /> <meta name="citation_abstract_html_url" content="https://press.anu.edu.au/publications/series/pacific/chinese-papua-new-guinea" /> <meta name="citation_epub_url" content="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/epub/book.epub" /> <meta name="citation_html_url" content="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/html/" /> <meta name="citation_doi" content="http://doi.org/10.22459/CPNG.2024" /> <meta name="citation_author" content="Rosita Henry" /> <meta name="citation_author" content="Anna Hayes" /> <meta name="citation_author" content="Michael Wood" /> <meta name="citation_isbn" content="9781760466404" /> <meta name="citation_pdf_url" content="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/book.pdf" /> <meta name="dc.identifier" content="doi:http://doi.org/10.22459/CPNG.2024" /> <meta name="dc.title" content="The Chinese in Papua New Guinea" /> <meta name="citation_title" content="The Chinese in Papua New Guinea" /> <meta name="citation_publisher" content="ANU Press" /> <meta name="citation_publication_year" content="2024" /> <meta name="description" content="Papua New Guinean, Chinese and Australian people have long been entangled in the creation of complex histories and political debates concerning the similarities and differences of each group.

debates concerning the similarities and differences of each group. These debates are fundamental to understanding how a sense of national unity in Papua New Guinea is formed, as well as within analyses of the wider world of strategic power dynamics and influence. <em>The Chinese in Papua New Guinea</em> offers a comprehensive and nuanced examination of the Chinese in Papua New Guinea. Chinese, Papua New Guinean and Australian interactions are analysed in the context of ongoing shifts in colonial power, increased regional engagement with China, and current political instabilities across the Indo-Pacific region. The many ways the Chinese have been defined as actors in PNG’s history and politics are analysed against the backdrop of a rapidly changing global order. The complexity of Chinese experiences within Papua New Guinea is given expression, here, with chapters that stress political and historical heterogeneity, the importance of language for understanding Chinese social relations, and that articulate rich personal experiences of race relations.</p> </div><div id="details" class="tab-pane fade"><h3 class="d-none d-print-block">Details</h3><dl class="row"><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">ISBN (print): </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell">9781760466398</dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">ISBN (online): </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell">9781760466404</dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Publication date: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell">May 2024</dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Imprint: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell">ANU Press</dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">DOI: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell"><a href="http://doi.org/10.22459/CPNG.2024">http://doi.org/10.22459/CPNG.2024</a></dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Series: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell"><a href="/publications/series/pacific">Pacific Series</a></dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Disciplines: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell"><a href="/publications?field=711">Arts & Humanities</a>: <a href="/publications?field=715">Cultural Studies</a>, <a href="/publications?field=717">History</a>; <a href="/publications?field=739">Social Sciences</a>: <a href="/publications?field=741">Anthropology</a></dd><dt class="col-sm-3 d-print-table-row d-print-table-cell">Countries: </dt><dd class="col-sm-9 d-print-table-cell"><a href="/publications?region=764">East Asia</a>: <a href="/publications?region=765">China</a>; <a href="/publications?region=800">Pacific</a>: <a href="/publications?region=809">Papua New Guinea</a></dd></dl><p></p></div><div id="pdf" class="tab-pane fade"><h3 class="d-none d-print-block">PDF Chapters</h3><p><a href="/publications/series/pacific/chinese-papua-new-guinea" class="nounderline">The Chinese in Papua New Guinea »</a></p><p>Please read <a href="/faqs/conditions-use">Conditions of use</a> before downloading the formats.</p><div class='divline-solid marginbottom'></div><p>If your web browser doesn't automatically open these files, please download a PDF reader application such as the free <a href='https://acrobat.adobe.com/au/en/products/pdf-reader.html'>Adobe Acrobat Reader</a>.</p><p>To copy a chapter DOI link, right-click (on a PC) or control+click (on a Mac) and then select ‘Copy link location’.</p><ul> <li><a href="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/prelims.pdf">Preliminary pages (PDF, 122 KB)</a></li> <li><a href="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/list_illustrations.pdf">List of illustrations (PDF, 58 KB)</a></li> <li><a href="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/acronyms.pdf">List of acronyms (PDF, 64 KB)</a></li> <li><a href="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/contributors.pdf">Contributors (PDF, 101 KB)</a></li> </ul> <ol> <li><a href="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/ch01.pdf">The Chinese in Papua New Guinea’s past, present and future (PDF, 193 KB)</a> – <em>Michael Wood, Anna Hayes and Rosita Henry</em> <a href="http://doi.org/10.22459/CPNG.2024.01" class="doi">doi</a></li> </ol> <h3>Section 1: The Chinese in PNG: Their travels and multiple histories</h3> <ol start="2"> <li><a href="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/ch02.pdf">Archives as artefacts of knowledge: A Sepik philosopher and a Chinese trader in Papua New Guinea (PDF, 155 KB)</a> – <em>Rosita Henry, Daniela Vávrová and Laurie Bragge</em> <a href="http://doi.org/10.22459/CPNG.2024.02" class="doi">doi</a></li> </ol> <ul> <li><a href="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/vignette01.pdf">Vignette—Reflection: Research with the Bragge Collection and Reflections on Sepik Chinese (PDF, 103 KB)</a> – <em>Kulasumb Kalinoe</em> <a href="http://doi.org/10.22459/CPNG.2024.V01" class="doi">doi</a></li> </ul> <ol start="3"> <li><a href="https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n12254/pdf/ch03.pdf">What was colonial in extending Australian citizenship to New Guinea Chinese?
