本文以砂拉越美里為例，討論東南亞客家的族群動態。美里在鄉村聚落及其家戶的層次中，保存著客家語言、祖先崇拜、祖籍認同及在地特質的地方信仰；在市鎮層級則有活力相當的祖籍社團組成「客家公會」；而跨區域層級的客家／客屬公會互訪與交流也制度化而頻繁。這使得在當地多元族群的人群中，得以形成「客家社會」。東南亞客家在多元族群與文化的生態下，會依據不同的時空場合，進行族群論述及實踐，其強弱或許有別，但始終存在。

From July 25 to August 8, 2024, the authors participated in a learning away from home program cum the Hakka Township Southbound Exchange Project, during which a preliminary field investigation was carried out in Miri City and Marudi Town. This fieldwork note first outlines the demographic composition and Hakka communities in Miri and Marudi. It then examines Hakka Chinese culture in Miri through three focal aspects: social associations, settlements, and architecture. The research note concludes by proposing directions for future ethnographic research and suggesting further engagement with theoretical discussions on ethnicity.
