This book forms a significant contribution to knowledge about an important and (in English-language scholarship) understudied subject in the history of Chinese migration and Chinese transnationalism, that of qiaopi (letter) trade. As an evidence driven study which is empirically focussed, it will appeal to students and scholars in a range of subject areas including Chinese history, Chinese migration and the study of ethnic Chinese communities especially in Southeast Asia as well as migration studies, transnational studies and business history.
