About this book
In Diaspora and Trust Adrian H. Hearn proposes a new paradigm for economic development in Mexico and Cuba that is predicated on the development of trust among the state, society, and each nation's resident Chinese diaspora communities, lest they get left behind in the twenty-first century economy.

Reviews
"Hearn renders a book that is well researched, refined, important, and timely. Most impressive of all, Diaspora and Trust is accessible without lacking complexity or sophistication. It will appeal to academics and nonacademics equally."
-- Dalia Antonia Muller New West Indian Guide
"An important book. . . . Diaspora and Trust deserves thoughtful consideration from scholars of Asia's transpacific communities as well as those who study immigration, anthropology, and history."
-- Grace Pena Delgado Journal of Chinese Overseas
"A unique blending of macrolevel economic analysis and microlevel ethnographic work, Adrian Hearn moves fluidly between different scales of analysis, steeping readers in a discussion of international trade agreements and shifting national economic policies, while inviting them into the ramshackle building of a Chinese association in Havana’s barrio chino, or a Tijuana taxi cab where local actors humanize statistics and acronyms. . . . Well researched, refined, important, and timely. Most impressive of all, Diaspora and Trust is accessible without lacking complexity or sophistication. It will appeal to academics and nonacademics equally."
-- Dalia Antonia Muller New West Indian Guide
