| Title: | Mapping A Path for Our Future |
| Author: | James Kember |
| Abstract: | Speaking in a personal capacity, James Kember will focus on the sixth theme of the conference: Mapping a Path for Our Futureî. He will trace some of the recent main changes in New Zealandís evolving relationships with the countries of Asia, and the changing economic environment in which New Zealand now operates, and will suggest that as part of the connectedness with Asia, the time is ripe for a greater role for Chinese New Zealanders in participating in New Zealandís global worth. If, as census figures indicate, ethnic Asian population numbers do increase 145% from 270,000 to 670,000 between 2001-2021, so that 15% of people here identify themselves as Asian, will that be reflected proportionately amongst the entrepreneurs and others engaging in economic and other relationships with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region? |

| Title: | Chinatown Girl |
| Author: | Eva Ng |
| Abstract: | My Story, CHINATOWN GIRL, the Diary of Silvey Chan, Auckland 1942 is a book being launched at the Welcome Reception at Auckland Central Library at 6.30pm on Friday, 3 June 2005. Eva Wong Ng has written a number of books about the Chinese communities around New Zealand and the history of the immigration from China beginning in the gold-rush days. This is the Dunedin author's first novel for children. |
| | In Auckland, in 1942 there was an area of the city known as Chinatown in lower Greys Avenue. Here the descendants of the Chinese miners and market gardeners gathered together to maintain their culture and provide a sense of community. New Zealand is at war when Silvey starts her diary, but for Silvey this is just a backdrop to the main issues of her world - the closure of her school and the arrival of Chinese - American soldiers. |

| Title: | Global Bananas, Traditional Tigers - The Century of China & the Chinese |
| Author: | Paul Spoonley |
| Abstract: | New Zealandís history has been dominated by its cultural and economic connections with Britain. The result was an embracing monoculturalism domestically, a limited engagement with non-Europeans internationally and an appalling record in terms of the treatment of those non-British migrants who made it to New Zealand. While some changes were obvious since 1945, and especially after 1972, the most significant have occurred in the last twenty years. The presence of Chinese communities also herald a shift globally. By mid-century, China will be the dominant global economy. If trade is aggregated for overseas Chinese, it represents the third largest economy globally. And China is the most important talent pool for those countries wanting to recruit immigrants or students. This is the Chinese century. For New Zealand, both host communities and the various Chinese Communities (host and recent arrivals), the challenges are exciting and novel. New Zealand has one of the highest proportions of overseas born. It has explored biculturalism but has yet to develop a workable multiculturalism. It is home to anti-immigrant/anti-Asian politics and views but is also very welcoming. How should we discuss and decide on this multicultural future? |
