Chinese Immigration
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. During the period of Chinese immigration to the United States, the historical construction of the "Oriental" began as an alien image who threatened "real" Americans. The three images of the Chinese developed: "pollutant" (a racialized alien who spoiled the image of California as a free white republic, "coolie" (unfree, servile labor that threatened the working class) and "deviant" (Chinese women as prostitute and Chinese men as domestics were sexual threats undermining the American ideal of the cult of domesticity and the beliefs against racial mixing). Examining the specific political, economic, social and legal treatment the Chinese immigrants received, one might readily surmise that the coolie image contributed most to that treatment and eventual exclusion of the Chinese.
