This ePaper investigates the Straits Chinese community and their positioning
relative to the British Empire and the Chinese Empire around 1900. It studies
their responses to and interactions with the transition from a world of
empires to a world of nation-states. The Straits Chinese are framed as a
cosmopolitan community in a cosmopolitan city who played an important role in
the reconfiguration of imperial citizenship and the deterritorialisation of
China. Through their own and others’ adoption of racial discourses, they found
themselves in a double bind, not quite Chinese and not quite British. This
shaped their encounter with early Chinese nationalism. Consequently, this
paper disrupts the teleology of decolonisation and demonstrates how the
transformations taking place in the international system in the early
twentieth century relegated certain communities to the margins by virtue of
their ‘in-between’ position. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Vahabzadeh
Foundation for financially supporting the publication of best works by young
researchers of the Graduate Institute, giving a priority to those who have
been awarded academic prizes for their master’s dissertations.
