The Chinese in America. Asia in the Modern World Series, No. l6.
Sih, Paul K. T., Ed.; Allen, Leonard B., Ed.
In 1965, Congress passed a law making it possible for as many as 20,000 Chinese per year to emigrate to America. Social, economic and cultural problems arose as a result of this decision. The problems in U.S. Chinese communities include: the legal status of the Chinese Americans; how to meet social service and educational needs in Chinatown, New York; and the role of the Catholic Church in Chinese communities. The need for teaching Chinese to Chinese children in American schools is also a matter of concern. In addition to a discussion of these problems, articles on Chinese intellectuals in America, America's debt to Chinese scholarship, and traditionalism and change in a Chinese American community are included.
