海外华人与侨乡关系研究的路径探索——评《多重网络的渗透与扩张——海外华侨华人与闽粤侨乡互动关系研究》

Book Review on Penetration and Expansion of Multinets: A Theoretical Analysis of the Interactive Relations between Overseas Chinese and their Hometowns in Fujian Province and Guangdong Province

侨乡研究长期以来一直是中国华侨华人研究的重要内容,但经过20多年的发展,其研究的瓶颈开始显现,主要表现为缺少理论体系的支撑。郑一省教授的《多重网络的渗透与扩张——海外华侨华人与闽粤侨乡互动关系研究》一书力图从侨乡研究最薄弱的理论环节入手,在"网络学"等相关理论的基础上,提出"多重网络"概念和理论,对海外华人与侨乡关系研究进行了理论上的新探索,"从理论上弥补了侨乡研究的不足",也对推动华侨华人学科的理论建设起到积极的作用。

After more than twenty years development, the research on overseas Chinese hometown, an important part in the research of Chinese and overseas Chinese, runs into the bottleneck, that is, the lack of theory. The book Penetration and Expansion of Multinets： A Theoretical Analysis of the Interactive Relations between Overseas Chinese and their Hometowns in Fujian Province and Guangdong Province written by Professor Zheng Yisheng puts forward the idea and theory of “muhinet” to make new theoretic exploration on the relations between overseas Chi- nese and their hometown. It theoretically fills up the research blank on overseas Chinese hometown, and exerts positive effects on pushing the theory construction of research on Chinese and overseas Chinese.
