North Dakota State University, United States

Tracy Barrett received her PhD in History at Cornell University in 2007. Her 2012 book, The Chinese Diaspora in Southeast Asia: The Overseas Chinese in Indochina, explores overseas Chinese communities in French Indochina in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, paying special attention to overseas Chinese efforts to resist assertions of French hegemony in Tonkin, Cambodia, and Cochinchina. Her new research focuses upon French efforts to extend the architecture they devised for controlling Chinese sojourners in Indochina to Asian migrants across the French colonial world. She has been a professor at North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND, since 2009.
