Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Oregon, 1989.

After being defined as one of the most wretched of all human species in the nineteenth century, popular news magazines heralded Chinese as one of the nation's "Model Minorities" in the mid-1960s. As the plight of the African American family was being debated as cause for "national action," news articles reported Chinese were "moving ahead on their own--with no help from anyone else.".Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a After being defined as one of the most wretched of all human species in the nineteenth century, popular news magazines heralded Chinese as one of the nation's "Model Minorities" in the mid-1960s. As the plight of the African American family was being debated as cause for "national action," news articles reported Chinese were "moving ahead on their own--with no help from anyone else.".
520 $a This study traces the depictions of Chinese in popular periodicals from their earliest arrival through the 1930s. Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature, the San Francisco Newspaper Index, and the New York Times Index supply the titles for the articles from which images of Chinese are extracted. Secondary sources on race relations and the Chinese and African American experiences provide information for a historical context.
520 $a Findings indicate the shift to more favorable depictions of Chinese began in the late 1920s. By 1940 the foundation for the "Model Minority" was firmly in place. The demise of biologistic definitions of racial differences and the subsequent rise of a social definition made this transition possible. Within sociology, the emergence of the assimilation theory corresponds with this shift.
520 $a Through an analysis of studies on the actual position of the Chinese in the United States during this period, we find more positive depictions that emerged were less a reflection of actual changes in the status of the Chinese vis-a-vis whites than the proliferation of the social definition of race (and the accompanying racial ideology, assimilation theory, race relations cycle, etc.) which argues that such changes are not only possible, but desirable and inevitable.
520 $a Theoretically the study challenges the predominant understanding of "race relations" as part of an ecological process of "assimilation." It contributes to an alternative understanding of particular races as part of a larger "racial formation"--which is a dynamic complex of racial meanings, structured at both the micro-level (identities) and macro-level (institutions). The concept of racial formation allows us to understand the historical changes in racial meanings of Chinese Americans within the context of African American-white relations.
