Reminder: Tuesday is Election Day!
For Wednesday's class, please spend some time investigating the resources available on the library's ProQuest databases. I expect everyone to gain basic familiarity with the system and to bring specific suggestions for using it for immigration/ethnicity research.
Also, please read Chapter 14 and be prepared to answer the following questions:
- What three things does Daniels say brought about a change in attitude towards Asian immigrants?
- What characteristics have led to Asian Americans being called the model minority?
- What are ABCs and FOBs and who are the "silent" Chinese of San Francisco?
- What are the three distinct increments of Filipino immigration?
- What profession niche do recent Filipino immigrants dominate and why?
- Who were the Koreans who came before the 1965 immigration act?
- What do Indian and Korean immigrants have in common?
- How and why do Vietnamese immigrants differ from other recent Asian immigrants?
- What was the total number of Vietnamese War refugees and their children, and what nationalities are included?
- Compare the population growth of Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Indian, Korean, and Vietnamese Americans since 1965. What accounts for the differences?
