近日，我院胡博林助理教授的最新专著《爱国者与战时宣传：抗战时期澳洲华侨华人与忠诚政治》（Patriots and Propaganda: Chinese Australians and the Politics of Loyalty, 1930s–1940s）由悉尼大学出版社正式出版。

据悉，本书力图呈现战时中国、澳大利亚与旅澳华人之间错综复杂的互动关系，强调政治、种族与阶层等因素在塑造三方关系中的关键作用，并重新审视传统的“遥远盟友”（distant allies）叙事，探讨南太平洋地区与东北亚地缘政治之间的深层联结。

该书的出版，运用了丰富的史料和新颖的分析视角，不仅为华侨华人研究领域增添了新的学术成果，也为澳大利亚历史研究、移民研究以及中澳关系研究等领域提供了重要的参考，受到了学术界的关注与好评。

澳大利亚社会科学院院士、澳大利亚勋章获得者——迪肯大学大卫·沃克教授（Professor David Walker AM）表示，胡博林通过描绘20世纪30年代和40年代动荡时期澳大利亚海外华人社群不断变化的忠诚度，为这段历史增添了重要一笔，其著作首次深入研究了这一时期澳大利亚中文媒体中重要但被广泛忽视的资料来源，是一项原创性、文笔优美且易于理解的研究。

悉尼大学苏菲·洛伊-威尔逊博士（Dr. Sophie Loy-Wilson）指出，两次世界大战之间，澳大利亚的唐人街是引人注目的政治辩论和竞争的场所，胡博林的新作带领我们深入20世纪30年代和40年代来到唐人街的中国澳大利亚人的内心世界，对于任何致力于社区建设、地缘政治以及精神生活的人来说，这都是一次值得体验的旅程。

香港大学迈克尔·威廉姆斯博士（Dr. Michael Williams）认为，这部作品为中国澳大利亚历史研究树立了新的标杆，胡博林的作品是对澳大利亚历史学的重要贡献，它富有细腻的情感、严谨的学术态度和独创性。

“In Patriots and Propaganda, Bolin Hu skilfully martials Chinese and English-language sources to unpack diasporic responses to the Republican Kuomintang. From 1931, Chinese officials sought unified support from the diaspora in the face of the advancing Japanese occupation, but Hu reveals multiple nodes of opposition to Kuomintang narratives from within Australia’s politically diverse Chinese diaspora.”

– Professor Julia T. Martínez, University of Wollongong

“Australia’s engagement with Asia has a long, complex and intriguing history. Hu adds appreciably to that history by charting the shifting loyalties of Australia’s diasporic community through the turbulent 1930s and ‘40s. His book takes the first deep dive for this period, into important but largely overlooked sources from the Chinese print media in Australia. An original, well-written and accessible study.”

– Professor David Walker AM

“Patriots and Propaganda is a compelling and meticulously researched study that illuminates the transnational experiences of Australia’s Chinese diaspora during the 1930s and 1940s. Drawing on a rich array of historical sources in both Chinese and English, the book offers original insight into wartime propaganda, diasporic activism and community building at a time of shifting and often conflicting political interests and national imperatives in Australia and China.”

– Dr Kate Bagnall, University of Tasmania

“Between the wars, Australia’s Chinatowns were the site of fascinating political debates and contestations. What kind of political system would augur a better world? Patriots and Propaganda, a wonderful new contribution from Bolin Hu, takes us on a journey deep into the hearts and minds of Chinese Australians as the world came to Chinatown in the 1930s and 1940s; it is a journey worth taking for anyone invested in community building, geopolitics and the life of the mind.”

– Sophie Loy-Wilson, University of Sydney

“This work sets a new benchmark in how Chinese Australian history should be done. Bolin Hu’s work is a deeply insightful contribution to Australian historiography – rich in nuance, rigour and originality.”

– Dr Michael Williams, University of Hong Kong
