Tracing Migration and Local Settlement: The Chinese in Kelantan documents over two centuries of Chinese settlement along the rivers of Kelantan, tracing the journeys of early migrants from Fujian and Guangdong who established more than fifty villages across the state. Drawing on decades of fieldwork, the authors travelled the full length of Sungai Kelantan, Sungai Pengkalan Datu, and Sungai Kemasin, recording oral histories, ancestral tablets, family genealogies, and village deity traditions. Richly illustrated with photographs and maps, the book captures the daily lives, cultural heritage, and quiet resilience of the Cina Kampung communities — a testament to more than three hundred years of Chinese presence in Kelantan.
