The Origins Of Chinese Kongsi
The kongsi, sometimes translated into English as ‘union’ or federation’, was the social and economic backbone of the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia and elsewhere. Often based on family/clan names or regions, the kongsi provided both support for strangers in new lands but also the impetus for their entrepreneurial skills. Here the author gives a fuller background to the phenomenon, detailing how it operated historically in China as well as overseas.
