Home Is Where We Are by Margaret Wang

Home Is Where We Are by Margaret Wang

Wang Gungwu has held positions in universities around the world. This second volume of his memoirs, written with his wife Margaret, is a fascinating reflection on identity and belonging, and on the ability of the individual to find a place amidst the historical currents that have shaped Asia and the world.

"[An] absorbing memoir of [an] outstanding scholar and exemplar of a humble cosmopolitanism that is becoming rare" * Inside Story *
“By filling in gaps on what we know about Chinese, Southeast Asian and Chinese overseas history, Wang’s work will continue to be drawn on to understand China’s most recent rise and engagement with the world, as well as new waves of Chinese migration.” * Sojourn *
"Wang Gungwu, a global Chinese historian and former president of the University of Hong Kong, wrote the story of his "long and semi-nomadic career" at the age of nearly 90. His life began in Southeast Asia during the colonial era. He experienced colonization, war, turmoil, revolution, and migrated between three continents for most of his life, which constituting a rich and unique wandering history in the historical torrents of twentieth century." * Yazhou Zhoukan *
