Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. CHINESE WOMEN IN AMERICA. HEATHENISM always degrades woman; and the civilization of China for thousands of years has rested upon a heathen idolatrous basis. There, woman before marriage has no rights outside the will of her parents, and no rights outside the will of her husband after marriage. Custom, however, demands that every respectable girl of suitable age shall be married. Early marriages are universal. Old bachelors are common, but elderly maiden ladies, --a most useful and worthy class of people in any country, --are entirely unknown in China. Marriage is the privilege, duty, and fate of Chinese girls. But the courtships leading to marriage, the betrothal, the arrangements for the marriage festivities and life settlement are all conducted for the children by the parents or guardians, with the help of a middle-man or go-between. The Chinese maiden, before marriage, is kept in seclusion and ignorance. The principal lesson she has to learn is obedience. She is not sent to school. She never mingles in promiscuous society; never receives personal attention or letters of correspondence from any young gentleman whatever; never listens to the voice of a lover; never receives upon her waiting lips the blissful pledge of plighted troth. She is betrothed by her parents when quite young, often under ten years of age. In this important matter of marriage the girls of China have no choice, no voice. Their wishes, preferences, and affections are never consulted. Although our young people would rebel against the introduction of such a custom among us, yet it is doubtful whether the system of boy and girl courtship which prevails in this country results in any better life settlements than those arranged for the inexperienced young.
Download or read book Not Fit to Stay written by Sarah Isabel Wallace and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1900s, panic over the arrival of South Asian immigrants swept up and down the west coast of North America. While racism and fear of labour competition were at the heart of this furor, public leaders – including physicians, union leaders, civil servants, journalists, and politicians – latched on to unsubstantiated public health concerns to justify the exclusion of South Asians from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. Not Fit to Stay examines how and why South Asians were excluded from immigration through legislation that took effect in Canada and the United States in the early twentieth century. This book is an important study of how white North Americans saw first-wave South Asian immigrants as separate from, and inferior to, other groups in the evolving racial hierarchy on the west coast of North America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the critical decade between the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars, perhaps as many as 10,000 Chinese students converged on Tokyo in what was the first large study-abroad movement anywhere in the world." "Following China's defeat by Japan in 1895, sending young Chinese to Japan for schooling seemed wise policy to leaders in both countries. To reform-minded pragmatists at the helm of Ch'ing government, study in Japan meant access to modern ideas and technology that would strengthen the state and their own power. To Japan's leaders, training thousands of young Chinese fit their objective of creating a strong China under Japanese tutelage; together, the two countries could form an Asian bulwark against the encroachments of the West. But this blueprint for study abroad failed to consider what the students' own goals might be for a modernizing China." "For the Chinese students, exposure to an economically stronger, intellectually more open Japan inspired visions of a new China, free of Ch'ing mismanagement, more broadly representative politically, and capable of holding back imperialism in any form, Western or Japanese. Increasingly alienated from the Ch'ing state, Japan-educated activists boldly proclaimed their anti-authoritarian views and were a key force in the rising tide of dissidence propelling China to revolution in 1911." "Among the topics the author considers are the emergence of official and popular support for study in Japan, the socio-economic background of the students, their psychological interaction with the Japanese, case studies of student protest movements, and the nature of students' intellectual and political concerns. In developing a new political outlook, the students grappled with many of the issues confronting China nearly a century later: how far to open the door to Western influence, how to relate to an economically strong Japan, how much political reform should accompany technological and economic change, and, above all, how to become modern and remain distinctively Chinese."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A General History of the Chinese in Singapore documents over 700 years of Chinese history in Singapore, from Chinese presence in the region through the millennium-old Hokkien trading world to the waves of mass migration that came after the establishment of a British settlement, and through to the development and birth of the nation. Across 38 chapters and parts, readers are taken through the complex historical mosaic of Overseas Chinese social, economic and political activity in Singapore and the region, such as the development of maritime junk trade, plantation industries, and coolie labour, the role of different bangs, clan associations and secret societies as well as Chinese leaders, the diverging political allegiances including Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary activities and the National Salvation Movement leading up to the Second World War, the transplanting of traditional Chinese religions, the changing identity of the Overseas Chinese, and the developments in language and education policies, publishing, arts, and more.With 'Pride in our Past, Legacy for our Future' as its key objective, this volume aims to preserve the Singapore Chinese story, history and heritage for future generations, as well as keep our cultures and traditions alive. Therefore, the book aims to serve as a comprehensive guide for Singaporeans, new immigrants and foreigners to have an epitome of the Singapore society.
