本文旨在陳述和分析香港調景嶺在 1950年代和1970年代間的起源和歷史變遷。主要運用的史料為，香港政府檔案處歷史檔案館及香港大學孔安道紀念圖書館所收藏，大量有關調景嶺的文件資料。其他還包括，臺灣救總（中國大陸災胞救濟總會）的出版品、香港1950年代第三勢力雜誌和國史館出版的口述歷史書籍等等。在移民社會史的面向，以跨界人群移動的角度進行分析，從一個反共、親國民黨的難民群體在香港的形成與其在歷史時空中的變遷──自1950年代難民營開始到1970年代以臺灣為文教中心的海外社群──來為當下在國際移民學界中，爭議性頗高的「流亡／離散」（diaspora）群體概念，提供一個實例的辯證。同時，本文也嘗試將香港調景嶺和臺灣的「外省大遷徙」，作一個歷史化的概念性比較，來呈現1949年共產中國興起時所出現的百萬人口大遷徙，在各地因歷史環境相異而出現不同的相貌及發展。

This monograph examines the origin and transformation of a "pro-KMT" enclave in Hong Kong called Rennie's Mill or Tiu Keng Leng from the 1950s to the 1970s. The narrative is constructed from a large collection of sources including archives of the British Colonial Administration in Hong Kong, publications of Free China Relief Association, magazines published by the Third Force in Hong Kong, and an oral history anthology complied by Academia Historica. There has hitherto been little research on the history of the Rennie's Mill community. Existing studies focus on Cold War international relations, and demonstrate that "humanitarian" assistance rendered by the KMT to the residents of Rennie's Mill was mediated by anti-communist agenda, and by Taiwan's own security concerns. This study takes an alternative approach by providing an intimate profile of the origin and evolution of Rennie's Mill from a refugee camp in the 1950s to a "cultural diaspora" of the KMT in Taiwan during the 1970s. The interpretation will add depth and nuance to the current research and debate on diaspora in international migration studies by offering a unique case study. In sum, this monograph constitutes part of a greater effort to re-consider the 1949 exodus from a cross-border / comparative perspective.
