other wealthy Hokkiens in Southeast Asia, capitalised on the social, economic, and political capital they gained abroad to rescue their home villages from misery. While maintaining close ties to his native place, Li also invested in Xiamen and sought to make a home there. Sadly, despite his efforts, Lim’s attempt to make a home in Xiamen was thwarted by ‘ethnic and cultural barriers between himself and the Chinese within China’ (184). Here, Ong argues from a different angle against the sojourner discourse that views home as a natural and perennial entity. He draws out the dynamic nature of homemaking, approaching it as something that is contingent upon a complex set of interactions between overseas Chinese and the broader socio-political setting. Coming Home to a Foreign Country intriguingly engages with theoretical discussions on diaspora in history, anthropology, and sociology to shed light on the study of overseas Chinese. Ong’s interweaving of engaging life stories with analysis of the political and social factors that shape migrant experiences is a particular strength. It is highly recommended for scholars and students interested in the nature of identity and home, Chinese history, and rethinking modern China from a broader transnational perspective.

Western music and musicology, and growing global cultural clout are irrelevant here and do not entitle the Republic of Korea to a superior position in the contending regional versions of musical tradition. Koo then runs through ‘the PRC’s institution of its Intangible Cultural Heritage Law’, referencing a law passed in 2011 which, in its own words, aims to ‘maintain the country’s unification and ethnic unity and promote social harmony and sustainable development’. The paradox here is evident: the language of the law by its very nature homogenises, but its implementation also meant, in Koo’s words, that ‘Chaoxianzu kayagum music and Kim Songsam (as a key tradition bearer) as important state cultural heritages and assets ensured the transmission of Chaoxianzu kayagum music in China’. What, then, is the metric against which this positivity can be measured? Koo looks at enrolments at cultural institutions in Yanbian, noting that in the first decade of the 2000s, ‘[the] Yanbian Arts school had seen a drastic decline in the number of students majoring in Chaoxianzu music, both in singing and instruments’. Someone has to keep the tradition alive and evolving, and the classrooms filled, and if the state provides support in those endeavours, it should be taken. The book occasionally slips into specialist vocabulary, but it also includes useful appendices, including an English/Chinese/Korean list of general terms, as well as a trilingual appendix on place names that will be highly useful to those working on the region. This book slots perfectly alongside Keith Howard’s relatively new magnum opus on North Korean music and fills a huge gap in the Korean peninsula musicology focus. It also helps to fill in a deeper sense of the comprehensive reality of minority culture and the state of transnational musical practices in the PRC since that state’s inception. It speaks to the diversity of experiences in Yanbian during the Mao years, and fleshes out details about Yanbian’s cultural growth during the reform or Dengist era. This book is a gem. It merits careful reading and should stimulate further work in the fields of ethnomusicology, Korean history, Korean diaspora studies, the history of music and politics in Northeast China, and borderlands and Korean studies.

ABSTRACT There is an increasingly popular standpoint that the rise of Taiwanese identity has transformed Cross-Strait relations. The discourses of pro-unification are regarded as the antithesis of pro-independence. Seemingly, the shift from Han Chinese identity to Taiwanese identity has been a rupture in the recent development of Cross-Strait relations. This study sheds light on Wei Yung (Wei Yong, 1936–2004) and his concept of ‘multi-system nations’ to reassess this standpoint. Wei wanted to assist Taipei in recalibrating Cross-Strait relations in the late 20th century. He initiated the ‘multi-system nations’ concept to justify Taipei’s adoption of dual recognition and parallel (international) participation. Wei used this concept to defend Taiwanese political scientists’ collective representation in the International Political Science Association. However, the result was not as he had wished. Although Wei's concept of ‘multi-system nations’ is outdated and his wishful thinking about China’s unification has become a path not taken for both Taipei and Beijing, this study shows that there is in fact common ground between the sympathisers of pro-independence and the advocates of unification.
