孔复礼的史学思想导入人类学的范畴，并且改变以往纵向历史的叙述，将历史分解成各个不同区域横向对比。《华人在他乡：中国近现代海外移民史》这部著作中展现了他的洞察力与清晰的思维能力，其中有数个突破性的书写。首先，他将中国移民与国际历史链接在一起，使得移民研究不只是单线叙事模式，还有外在因素影响了不同面向的“选择”，将移民推向人类学的范畴。第二，勾勒出“他者”的形象，通过丰富的叙述和范例，展现移民和世界各自站立的不同角度。第三、在历史沉闷的述说之外，他开辟了一条从社会心理要素、生命经验做出立体化解读的道路，让我们看到一个有血肉的“移民的历史”。
Abstract

Chinese among Others: Emigration in Modern Times (2009) demonstrated his profound insights and critical thoughts bringing breakthrough to the academic field. Firstly, he linked the discussions of China history to international history, alternating migrant researches from a single narrative mode towards the field of anthropology. Secondly, outlining the images of “Other”, through a variety of discourses, displaying the different perspectives of migrants in the world. Thirdly, in the historical narrations, he incorporated social psychological elements and personal experiences of individuals, allowing readers to see a more man-conscious migrant history.
