520 $a This dissertation is a study of two generations of Chinese intellectuals in Hawaii, viewed against the process of acculturation in the period from 1894 to 1959.
520 $a Scholars in the field of Chinese immigration in the United States have celebrated the Chinese community in Hawaii for its successful assimilation into American society. By recapturing the mindset of the intellectuals who enjoyed upward social mobility, this dissertation tests the theory that assimilation and ethnic persistence can coincide in a self-conscious group of people and their descendants.
520 $a Second-generation intellectuals received special attention in this study. Many of them enjoyed the highest social prestige in the local community. If they were highly assimilated, what favorable conditions helped to accomplish this? If there was a parallel phenomenon of ethnic persistence, then what were the reasons for it and how did it manifest itself?
520 $a Examining these intellectuals in the eventful period of 1894-1959, the dissertation reviews the process of their acculturation. Among other indices of acculturation, the dissertation focuses chiefly on their: (1) concept of the Chinese race; (2) sense of American civil and political rights; (3) attitudes toward the larger community; (4) identity in the context of U.S.-China relations; and (5) position on Chinese culture versus American culture.
520 $a The dissertation concludes that: first, Chinese intellectuals in Hawaii demonstrated a high degree of assimilation due to the favorable local conditions--weakening racial tensions; America's compulsory public school system and good opportunities for higher education; and, activities of Christian missionaries. Second, this assimilation was paralleled by a strong Chinese ethnic persistence. Several conditions sustained the persistence among the intellectuals: (1) China's status and destiny; (2) the U.S. policies towards the Chinese; (3) the subtle Sino-American relations; (4) the inertia of Chinese tradition; (5) a special historical connection between the intellectuals and China; (5) the activities of the Chinese government(s); and (6) Hawaii's history of U.S. statehood.
520 $a The experience of two generations of Chinese intellectuals in Hawaii testified to the theory that assimilation and ethnic persistence can coincide in a particularly self-conscious group of immigrants and their descendants under challenging historical conditions.
