澳洲华裔文化的民族渊源与历史记忆

Ethnic Origins and Historical Memories of Chinese Australian Culture

相比美国和加拿大等国的悠久移民文化而言,澳大利亚华裔文化属于世界"边缘文化"研究的范畴。从19世纪的华裔契约劳工登陆澳洲到20世纪全球多元文化背景下的华人移民浪潮,澳洲华裔文化在中西文化的碰撞、调节并不断融合中历经兴衰沉浮,以独特的生存方式抒写着其民族渊源与历史记忆。

Compared with the countries with a long history of immigration such as the United States and Canada, Chinese Australian culture belongs to the category of ＂marginal culture＂. From Chinese indentured laborers landing in Australia in the 19th century to waves of Chinese immigrants under the global multiculturalism in the 20th century, Chinese Australian culture has experienced ups and downs by collision, adjustment and continuous integration with Western cultures, expressing its ethnic origins and historical memories in a unique way.
