SUMMARY:Where is Home? The Basel Mission and the Modern Overseas Hakka Dias
 pora (1860-1924)
DESCRIPTION:Co Sponsor: The Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural Hi
 story at Boston College\n\nCo-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chine
 se Studies\n\nThis presentation explores how the Protestant\, German-speak
 ing Basel Mission shaped the modern overseas Hakka diaspora during the lat
 e Qing period by facilitating Hakka migration through its ties with the Br
 itish colonial government in Hong Kong. It shows how missionaries sustaine
 d transnational connections with Hakka communities across Southeast Asia a
 nd the Americas. Through these religious networks\, Christianity became a 
 key resource for adaptation and the formation of a shared diasporic identi
 ty.
