“…Communications among family members across national borders were mainly through letters and mailed packages (containing food and goods for daily necessities) or monetary remittances, which were scrutinized and regulated by the government. Overseas Chinese and their relatives left behind in China were generally treated with disdain and distrust (Peterson, 2012).…”

This paper addresses three main questions through a comparative study of new Chinese immigrants in the United States and Singapore: (1) How do contexts of emigration and reception affect the ways in which new immigrants are tied to their homeland? (2) How do diasporic communities develop to help members engage with the homeland? (3) What effects does transnationalism have on host-society integration? We develop an institutional approach to analyze how the state is involved in the transnational field and how diasporic organizations serve as a bridge between individual migrants and state actors in transnational practices and integration processes. We find that new Chinese immigrants maintain emotional and tangible ties with China even as they are oriented toward resettlement in the hostland and that their transnational practices are similar in form but vary in magnitude, depending not only on diasporic positionality in the host society but also on bi-national relations. We also find that those who actively engage themselves in the transnational field tend to do so through diasporic organizations. Finally, we find that homeland engagement generally benefits integration into host societies. These findings suggest that social forces at the macro level-the nation state-and at the meso level-diasporic communities-are intertwined to affect processes and outcomes of immigrant transnationalism.

“…Zgodovina kitajskih migracij je neločljivo povezana tako z diskriminacijo, marginalizacijo in getoizacijo kitajskih mobilnih subjektov, in to ne zgolj v državah priselitve, temveč tudi v državi izvora (npr. preganjanje izseljencev pred in med kulturno revolucijo; glej Peterson 2012). Čeprav so ti primeri pogosto potisnjeni v preteklost, pa je pandemija covid-19 razkrila, da so tovrstni mehanizmi še vedno bistveni del migracijske izkušnje kitajskih državljanov.…”

Prispevek prinaša analizo mehanizmov izključevanja kitajskih migrantov med pandemijo covida-19. Avtorica najprej pokaže na značilnosti izključevanj in diskriminacije, s katerimi so se soočili kitajski migranti po izbruhu virusa tako v državah priselitve, v transnacionalni skupnosti in tudi ob povratku v državo izvora, kot tudi odzive na tovrstna dejanja med migranti. Avtorica ugotavlja, da so prav vsem oblikam izključevanja podložene specifične predstave o mobilnosti ter da je učinek tovrstnih izključevanj med drugim tudi reinterpretacija razmerja med dvojico »migrant – državljan«.

“…Many refugees did not want to be repatriated; the forced return of Russians to the Soviet Union, admittedly in return for the far fewer number of Western prisoners of war, troubled the conscience of many Western statesmen for many years to come, as Harold Macmillan's memoirs clearly show. 7 Others could not be repatriated because their homelands no longer existed, and some had neither the mental nor physical strength to deal with the repatriation process. Until the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, thousands of Jews were kept in detention centres waiting to leave.…”

“…6 The summit was a 'unique opportunity for creating a more responsible, predictable system for responding to large movements of refugees and migrants' , gushed the New Yorkbased International Business Times. 7 UNHCR press releases were just as upbeat. In the run-up to the meetings, a UNHCR spokesperson declared that there was 'huge momentum towards trying to make the 19th of September a really meaningful summit that will be a game changer for refugee protection and for migrants who are on the move' .…”
