This dissertation examines the development of Chinese immigration in California and in Madagascar between 1850-1882 and 1896-1940, respectively. This study points out the international dimension of the issue of Chinese immigration in that it places these two population movements from China within the context of nineteenth-century Western imperialism and colonialism. The economic reorganization of conquered territories or colonial possessions, and the exploitation of local resources, necessitated the importation of outside labor and attracted different groups of settlers. However, when the presence of the immigrants became threatening, or was perceived as such, on political, economic, social, or racial grounds, severe limitations were imposed on their number and their activities.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation examines the development of Chinese immigration in California and in Madagascar between 1850-1882 and 1896-1940, respectively. This study points out the international dimension of the issue of Chinese immigration in that it places these two population movements from China within the context of nineteenth-century Western imperialism and colonialism. The economic reorganization of conquered territories or colonial possessions, and the exploitation of local resources, necessitated the importation of outside labor and attracted different groups of settlers. However, when the presence of the immigrants became threatening, or was perceived as such, on political, economic, social, or racial grounds, severe limitations were imposed on their number and their activities.
520 $a This research attempts to determine why two groups of Chinese immigrants who came from relatively similar backgrounds, and who were in many ways related, developed differently in the two areas under study.
520 $a Emphasis is placed on major political, economic, and social factors that accounted for variations in the forms of settlement of these Chinese immigrants. It was found that the political, economic and social structures largely determined the position and the role of the immigrants in each society. In California, the interplay of class and race worked against the Chinese. They were caught in the midst of a class struggle in which the strong influence of the labor movement contributed to the passage of the 1882 Exclusion Act. In Madagascar, the small anti-Chinese opposition was mitigated by the hesitant French policy toward the Chinese, on the basis of two main factors: (1) the Chinese played a vital role in the colonial system of economic exploitation; and, (2) the colonial government remained constantly cautious about the international impact of its immigration policy.
