SUMMARY:Historicizing Chinese Labour in Southeast Asian Mining: mobilities, networks and practices
LOCATION:REC A2.12
DESCRIPTION:The intensifying Chinese mining investment across contemporary 
 Southeast Asia has stimulated deeper historical inquiries into the intercon
 nections between mining histories and Chinese labour in the region. This cr
 oss-border conversation brings in two perspectives: Regional dynamics and c
 ommunity organisation on the ground, with a particular focus on ‘Chinese’ a
 ctors, their social networks, mobilities, and practices. \n\nThis panel exp
 lores the diversity of dynamics of Chinese mining labour in precolonial Sou
 theast Asia as well as under colonial rule. Yunnanese miners in imperial Vi
 etnam, Hakka mining communities in British Malaya, other diverse Chinese mi
 grants in insular Southeast Asia – the patterns of governance and organisat
 ion of mining sites, and the inherent sociopolitical and socioeconomic dyna
 mics, deserve closer empirical scrutiny. These case studies would also addr
 ess broader conceptual questions, such as how extractive activities defined
  communities’ relations with the environment, and how Chinese mines (re)pro
 duced institutional particularities (for example, monetary regulations and 
 miners’ associations). \n\nWe invite researchers interested in historical m
 igration routes from ancient mining sites in China to new mining frontiers 
 in Southeast Asia, corresponding transfers of labour capital and technical 
 skills, and the sociocultural dynamics of the emerging, culturally diverse 
 mining communities. We will discuss how these transboundary historical proc
 esses entail socio-spatial reconfigurations, and how they inform present-da
 y patterns of mobility and investment in the Southeast Asian mining sector.
