Abstract
This review situates Shelly Chan’s analysis of temporality in Chinese migrations as “diaspora moments” in response to leading opponents of the application of diaspora in Chinese overseas studies. Chan’s astute and carefully framed identification of key moments when Chinese overseas significantly influenced national culture, ideologies, and institutions complicates but does not ameliorate the political pressures driving articulations such as Shu-mei Shih’s call for Sinophone studies as strategies for ethnic Chinese around the world to claim localized identities and belongings.
