Summary
'Schooling Diaspora' relates the previously untold story of female education and the overseas Chinese in British Malaya and Singapore, traversing more than a century of British imperialism, Chinese migration, and Southeast Asian nationalism. This work explores the pioneering English- and Chinese-language girls' schools in which these women studied and worked, drawing from school records, missionary annals, colonial reports, periodicals, and oral interviews.
