古巴家書: 兩個家庭的傷心史
By 雷競璇在海外眾多華僑群體中，古巴華僑的情況比較獨特：具有悠久的發展歷史，且曾經非常繁榮，對晚清以來中國的華僑政策發揮過相當影響。1959年古巴革命後華僑社會開始衰落，接著經歷了六十年的社會主義改造，現在面臨消失。以此為背景，本書透過相互呼應的兩部分內容，反映這群體中一些成員的經歷。第一部是本書編者收藏的約兩百封家書，大部分由編者的父親從古巴寄回來給香港的家人，時段剛好覆蓋古巴革命前、後的兩個階段。家書內容涉及華僑在古巴的生活和工作，以及如何透過書信，處理和應對家庭中的種種問題。第二部是藉由譚震勝先生口述，記錄一個華僑家庭前後四代的經歷，集中敘說留在家鄉的眷屬如何經歷和面對諸種考驗，一家之主的男性遠去，寡助的婦孺便要艱苦支撐。兩個家庭的遭遇，均是「以悲情始，亦以悲情終」，鈎沉出華僑在外及家眷在鄉的生存面貌。

來去台灣（台灣史論叢 移民篇）
By 許雪姬, 鄭瑞明, 許毓良台灣是個移民之島，住民先後來到台灣，隨著政權的轉移，歐洲殖民者、鄭氏王朝、清治、日治、國治時期，來來去去。台灣移民史歷年來很少成為貫時性的研究主題，若有也只是依不同的統治者所制定的移民制度做斷代性的論述，大都偏向當時的移入、定住的相關法規。對於台灣人的移出，則到近一、二十年來才開始有研究成果，也克服語言的多樣性。本書以論文集方式呈現，共收入10篇論文，荷治、清領各1篇，主要探討人口數問題。日治時期3篇，一篇討論台東廳下的私營農業移民，得以窺見日本移民的一般，另兩篇則討論日治時期有南洋和滿洲國經驗的台灣人，都是最近5年內的研究成果，也是過去少有的研究領域，這兩篇論文不約而同使用口述歷史資料。
