Hakkas in Power: A Study of Chinese Political Leadership in East and Southeast Asia, and South America - Paperback
by L. Larry Liu (Author)
The Hakka Chinese have been known to have attained important political offices in East and Southeast Asia and in South America. This book contributes to the discussion of Hakka political leaders by analyzing the conditions of Hakka people in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Guyana, and the rise of a few of these Hakka individuals to top leadership positions in their respective country. The argument is that despite being a minority and initially political outsiders, some of their descendants have capitalized on their outsider position to climb to the top political leadership positions.
