Chinese Immigrants in 1800s America: Against All Odds

Introduction

What has come to be known as the “American Model Minority” in recent years has a long history of

struggle and hard work in search of the American dream. The Chinese community in the United

States traces its initial footsteps in the country to the first immigrants in the early 1800s. Their

history can be traced through three major waves of immigration: the 19th century wave of

transcontinental railroad and Californian gold rush laborers, the 1940-80 naturalization of Chinese

Immigrants residing in the United State and the passage of the Immigration and National Services

Act of 1965, the third and final wave is quite recent beginning in 1980 and onwards including

students and professional immigrants as well illegal immigrants.

Noting these waves of immigration is important to understanding the width and depth

of the Chinese community settlement in the United States. However, this paper will concern itself

with the initial wave of 1800s Chinese immigration in search of economic opportunities in the

booming American economy. It will explore the challenges of racial discrimination against the

Chinese labelled the ‘yellow-peril’ and how these challenges have shaped the Chinese community’s

status in the U.S today. It seeks to highlight how, against all odds, the Chinese played a key role in

building America through hard work, consequently launching themselves to prosperity.
