戰後到60年代中期那個風雲瞬變的歷史時刻,年輕人尋找一個從未踏足的祖籍家鄉,會是一段怎樣的經歷?經濟難民到了社會主義的新家,發現自己的經商特長並無施展空間,他們將如何自處?是怎樣的意識形態歸屬、現實考量,讓人們放棄一國國籍而獲取另一國的公民權?作者周陶沫(Zhou Taomo)以這三個大維度的學術設問,帶出其2019年新著“Migration in the Time of Revolution--China, Indonesia, and the Cold War”(暫譯《革命年代的移民圖景——中國、印尼與冷戰》,新加坡尤索夫伊薩東南亞研究院、美國康奈爾大學出版)的主旨議題,即審視這兩個世界人口大國在1945至1967年間一段極為重要的當代歷史時期,探討兩者在政治、外交和社會等層面的互動與互斥,其背景中“既有懸而未決的公民權事宜、備受質疑的政治歸屬,也有流動不定的身份認同,以及模糊不清的國家動員界線”。

Migration in the Time of Revolution examines how two of the world's most populous countries interacted between 1945 and 1967, when the concept of citizenship was contested, political loyalty was in question, identity was fluid, and the boundaries of political mobilization were blurred. Taomo Zhou asks probing questions of this important period in the histories of the People's Republic of China and Indonesia. What was it like to be a youth in search of an ancestral homeland that one had never set foot in, or an economic refugee whose expertise in private business became undesirable in one's new home in the socialist state? What ideological beliefs or practical calculations motivated individuals to commit to one particular nationality while forsaking another? As Zhou demonstrates, the answers to such questions about "ordinary" migrants are crucial to a deeper understanding of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Through newly declassified documents from the Chinese Foreign Ministry Archives and oral history interviews, Migration in the Time of Revolution argues that migration and the political activism of the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia were important historical forces in the making of governmental relations between Beijing and Jakarta after World War II. Zhou highlights the agency and autonomy of individuals whose life experiences were shaped by but also helped shape the trajectory of bilateral diplomacy. These ethnic Chinese migrants and settlers were, Zhou contends, not passively acted upon but actively responding to the developing events of the Cold War. This book bridges the fields of diplomatic history and migration studies by reconstructing the Cold War in Asia as social processes from the ground up. Honorable mention for the Harry J.
