Interesting research on Chinese migration


In the saga of American immigration, the Chinese experience is relatively unknown. But it's a dramatic story of struggle and triumph, progress and setbacks, discrimination and assimilation.

www.archives.gov/research/arc/topics/chinese-immigration.html Chinese Exclusion Acts Case Files, 1880 - 1960
245 multi-page documents have been digitized from this series. The records document the entry into the United States of Chinese aliens and the reentry of U.S. citizens of Chinese ancestry under the Chinese Exclusion Acts. The Act of 1882, implementing the Treaty of 1880, established the basis for Chinese exclusion. It suspended immigration of Chinese laborers for ten years and prohibited admission of Chinese to U.S. citizenship. These materials are held by NARA's Northeast Region (New York City, NY).

1.2 Editors¡¦ Foreword

The Association for the Study of the Chinese and their Descendants in Australasia and the Pacific Islands (ASCDAPI) and the History Department of the University of Otago jointly held a conference in Dunedin, New Zealand in November, 1998.

The theme was 'Chinese in Australiasia and the Pacific: Old and New Migrations and Cultural Change'. The speakers included both academic and non-academic researchers, a mix which has proven successful in ASCDAPI conferences in Australia.

There were 39 papers presented. This Dunedin Conference brought together much of the present New Zealand work and knowledge on this country's Chinese residents, complemented by the subjects of the Australian speakers and Bill Willmott's paper on Vanuatu. As a result, alternating ASCDAPI conferences may eventuate in Australia and New Zealand.

We are pleased to present 28 of the conference papers.

History Department, University of Otago.

Helen,

An excellent book on the subject of Chinese Americans is entitled Chinese American Voices - from the Gold Rush to the Present compiled and edited by Judy Yung, Gordon H. Chang and Him Mark Lai. Direct quote from the book's back cover: "This splendid anthology, a diverse and illuminating collection of primary documents and stories by Chinese Americans, provides an intimate and textured history of the Chinese in America from their arrival during the California gold rush to the present. Among the documents are letters, speeches, testimonies, oral histories, personal memoirs, poems, essays, and folksongs; many have never been published before or have been translated into English for the first time."
