摘　　要：谢廷玉的华人华侨史研究发轫于对客家源流的探索,精进于夏威夷华人华侨史研究。谢廷玉认为夏威夷甘蔗种植及制糖业的劳动力缺口,以及华南区域社会的持续动荡是华人迁入夏威夷的原因,华人对当地经济发展作出重要贡献,他们在保留传统习俗的基础上,亦接受夏威夷当地生活方式。谢廷玉以太平洋国家对华人的限制法律为例,阐明华人在选举权、土地所有权、职业选择权等方面遭受的制度性限制。谢廷玉重视运用前人研究成果服务于研究主题,并以多元史料充实研究内容,他是较早以英语书写夏威夷及太平洋地区华人华侨史的专业史家。Char Tin-Yuke’s research on the history of overseas Chinese originated from his exploration of the origins of the Hakkas,and then advanced with his research on the history of overseas Chinese in Hawaii.He believes that the shortage of labor in Hawaii’s sugarcane farming and sugar industry,as well as the continuous social unrest in South China,were the reasons for some Chinese people’s migration to Hawaii,where the Chinese have made important contributions to the local economic development,and have adopted the local lifestyle while retaining their traditional customs.Hawaiian authorities promulgated entry restriction on Chinese to reduce their influence. Char Tin-Yuke takes the restrictive laws on Chinese in Pacific countries as an example to illustrate the institutional restrictions that Chinese people suffered in such aspects as voting right, land ownership and career choice. He attaches importance to the use of previous research results to serve his research theme, and enriches his research contents with diverse historical materials. He is one of the first historians to write in English the history of overseas Chinese in Hawaii and the Pacific Region.
