See her "Social Change and Continuity in South China: Overseas Chinese and the Guan Lineage of Kaiping County, 1949-1987," China Quarterly , no. 118 (June 1989): 324-44; and her "International Links and Socio-economic Development of Modern China: An Emigrant Community in Guangdong," Modern China 16, no. 2 (1990): 139-72; "From Mao to Deng: Life Satisfaction Among Rural Women in an Emigrant Community in South China," Australian Journal of Chinese Affairs 25 (January 1991): 139-69.
