Paper Summary:
This paper reviews the history of Chinese immigration to the United States and explores the process of assimilation and acculturation that they underwent before becoming accepted as Americans and an integral part of American society.From the Paper:
"The Chinese, like many immigrants to the United States after the Revolutionary War, had to "prove" themselves as citizens. President Grover Cleveland in 1888 went so far as to say the Chinese were ignorant of the American way of life and that assimilation was "impossible" as well as "dangerous to our peace and welfare" (Quoted in Anonymous 76). However, despite facing language problems, racial discrimination and a legal system that discounted all that a Chinese person said, the Chinese immigrant was able to become a Chinese-American through acculturation, assimilation and, most of all, perseverance."More papers on Chinese-American History and Culture:
