Chinese Activism of a Different Kind

In Chinese Activism of a Different Kind, Jia Gao examines the social behavior and patterns of actions of 45,000 or so Chinese students
In a time of relative Internet infancy their response to the shifting stances of the Australian government saw them build networks, make use of media and develop a range of strategies. In achieving success this diverse group of students became the largest intake of onshore asylum seekers in the history of Australian immigration. Through their testimonies Jia Gao provides a fascinating addition to our knowledge of Chinese activism and to the history of Chinese migration.
All interested in contemporary Chinese migration and the history of Chinese migration to Australia, and anyone concerned with contemporary Chinese issues, especially with Chinese social and political behavior and activism.
