| Abstract | The study of overseas Chinese (Kaky6/Kajin kenkyti ~ if • ~ A 1iJf~ ) has experienced a boom in the 1980s and 1990s in Japan. The majority of studies focus on the business networks among overseas Chinese merchants (Kash6 ~mf) in Asia. The study ofoverseas Chinese in Japan is only a minor subfield. Nevertheless, this is an area of great importance and potential in Sino-Japanese studies and thus deserves our close attention . It has become a fast-growing field in Japanese scholarship in Sino-Japanese studies. During the past few decades, many Japanese books and articles on overseas Chinese in modem Japan have been published. Unfortunately, they are mostly unknown outside Japan, as this field has drawn little scholarly attention in the West, even among scholars of Sino-Japanese studies. This review article aims to introduce this important but neglected research area to Western readers by providing a historical overview, outlining important study groups, scholars, and their works, and offering some thoughts on the characteristics and prospects for the field. The scope of this article is limited to works published in the postwar period. |
