Abstract
The immigrant experience for overseas Chinese during the early 1900’s involved extreme adjustments to a new land, new communities, new occupations, new cultural standards, new language, and new livelihoods. The political background and social conditions left behind in China, as met by the new social conditioning in America had interesting effects on the immigrants’ social consciousness and mentalities, creating a distinctly different generation of second generation Chinese-Americans.
