Abstract

Using sources in English, Spanish, and Chinese from across the Pacific Rim, this article uses a global scale to examine the Cantonese sworn brotherhood known as the Chee Kung Tong. Whereas in 1860 the organization was largely limited to the West Coast of North America, by the early twentieth century it spread to six continents and throughout the Pacific Rim. The article argues that the Chee Kung Tong, far from being simply a criminal organization or an apolitical mutual aid society, attracted members throughout the Cantonese diaspora, and that a focus on networks like the Chee Kung Tong allows us to examine diasporic history in new and revealing ways.

在粤东太平洋及其他地区,洪门智公堂的兴起与传播
本文使用来自环太平洋地区的英语、西班牙语和中文资料,在全球范围内考察了被称为Chee Kung Tong的广东宣誓兄弟会。1860年,该组织主要局限于北美西海岸,到20世纪初,它已扩展到六大洲和整个环太平洋地区。这篇文章认为,Chee Kung Tong远不是一个简单的犯罪组织或一个非政治性的互助会,它吸引了所有散居海外的广东人的成员,对Chee Kung Tong这样的网络的关注使我们能够以一种新的、具有启发性的方式来审视散居海外的历史。
