With the exception of certain notable Southeast Asian magnates, chiefly from Fujian, surprisingly little is known about the role of Chinese diaspora communities in the development of charity and philanthropy in late Qing and Republican China. This presentation sheds light on a significant part of the diaspora legacy: the role of Cantonese communities around the Pacific Rim in mediating the emergence of modern philanthropy alongside customary forms of charity in China and Hong Kong and among Chinese communities abroad over the first half of the 20th century. The talk explores the emergence in the early 20th century of new styles of philanthropic practice alongside earlier forms of charity among Chinese communities of the Pacific, paying particular attention to the connections tying diaspora communities in Australia and Oceania with partners in Hong Kong and Shanghai whose stories have rarely been told.
