In China's Left-Behind Wives, Huifen Shen tells the extraordinary story of an overlooked group of women who played an important role in one of the largest waves of migration in history. For roughly a century starting around 1850, large numbers of young men from southern China travelled to Southeast Asia in search of work. Some were married and others returned to marry, but they routinely left their wives in China to handle family affairs. Drawing on in-depth interviews, archival materials, local gazetteers, newspapers and periodicals, the author describes the experiences of left-behind wives in the Quanzhou region of Fujian from the 1930s to the 1050s, a time when war and political change caused customary practices to break down. Migrant marriages were nearly always arranged, and girls rarely met their husbands before the wedding. Normally a bride lived with her new husband for just a few weeks or months, after which he went abroad. The circumstances in the 1940s and 1950s were such that many of these young women rarely, or never, saw their husbands again. When the Pacific War cut off communications, the loss of remittance money meant that they faced a difficult struggle for survival. The war's end brought a brief respite, but the communist ascendency led to further difficult adjustments. Ultimately, the experiences of the left-behind wives drew them into public life and business, and as Overseas Chinese policies, and attitudes towards women, changed in China, they came to play an increasingly significant part in the processes of development and modernization.

This dissertation examines the history of the making of "the overseas Chinese" (huaqiao) in China from 1890 to 1966. Emerged only in the 1890s, the term huaqiao referred broadly to Chinese sojourning from China during the course of an expansive project to incorporate Chinese abroad into the Chinese nation. The project was spearheaded in the late nineteenth century by diplomats, reformers, and revolutionaries, all of whom operated overseas and came to view huaqiao as a vital resource. This transnational vision of the nation remained central to Republican and Communist governance until the 1960s. But the huaqiao project itself was marked by constant change and vast heterogeneity, producing friction in many instances that upset the imagined union of China and Chinese abroad. As it turned out, huaqiao were not simply Chinese who lived elsewhere waiting to be awakened and led by the homeland. Rather, they emerged as a congeries of unruly elements encompassing intellectuals who brought conflicting ideas about nation and culture based on colonial experiences abroad in the 1920s and 1930s, transnational communities that posed a seeming threat to domestic political order in the 1950s, and returnees who came to Chinese shores from all backgrounds and were highly critical of government policies in the 1950s and 1960s. Troubled, declared obsolete in state discourses both in China and beyond during the 1960s, the huaqiao project is nonetheless unfinished. Revived and active is the notion that China is the cultural and ethnic homeland of Chinese globally, as expressed in the new terms, huaren (persons of Chinese culture) and huayi (persons of Chinese descent). The huaqiao project suggests that the making of an overseas Chinese identity always intersected with dilemmas of opportunity and belonging facing communities and nations in a globalizing world. The huaqiao project is unfinished because these dilemmas were not, and are unlikely to be, easily resolved.
