Complicated Cosmopolitanism: Chinese Encounters with Colonial and Postcolonial Calcutta

【Abstract/要旨】 The first migrants from the coastal regions of China settled in Calcutta in the late eighteenth century. Over the next century and half, the city witnessed the emergence of two Chinatowns, the development of intimate commercial, cultural, and political linkages with China, and the popularity of the so-called “Chinese-Indian” cuisine. By focusing on the writings of Chinese authors this presentation examines how the members of the migrant community, government representatives, missionaries, journalists, and scholars from China encountered, experienced, and imagined Calcutta. The differing background of these writers provides insights into the complicated sense of belonging among the Chinese residents of Calcutta, the fascination and trepidation about an Indian city with some of the Chinese visitors, and the stereotyping of the place by others.
