This paper will examine the intersection of Sinophone<\/a> Studies and Critical Mixed-Race Studies<\/a> (CMRS) \u2013 two new and critical paradigms of inquiry \u2013 as productive forces in reshaping Chinese Studies<\/a> beyond the old Area Studies<\/a> model. My work analyzes the evolving discourses on mixed-race as well as the lived experiences of Eurasians in China, Hong Kong, and the US during the era between 1842 and 1943, and thus lies at the intersection of these two emergent and dynamic fields. Through my research on transnational Chinese-Western mixed families I aim to expand the horizons of Critical Mixed-Race Studies, which has been dominated by the study of black-white interracialism. I ask how a transpacific comparative approach might shift the theoretical frameworks for critical race and ethnic studies by challenging the presumed universality of US-centric models. At the same time, I aim to expand the horizons of “Chinese” studies, asking how mixed-race or transracial hybrid identities contest racially bounded, Han Chinese<\/a>-centric definitions of Chineseness.<\/p>\n
