Event Details
The History Research Seminar welcomes Dr Yui Chim Lo of the University of Manchester to present his current research.
Dr Yui Chim Lo is a historian of modern China in its global and regional contexts, with a particular interest in the intersections of migration and diasporas, internationalism, and decolonisation. His current project considers how early twentieth-century China developed its policies on external migration control, and how they shaped or were shaped by the global debates on migration and race. We know a great deal about how North American and West European states imposed immigration restrictions on Asians, but far less about how China exercised its migrant policy and participated in the global deliberations on this issue as a state of emigration. Examining Chinese migration policies restores agency to non-Western states which had to grapple with the worldwide diffusion of border control.
