摘要:
The Chinese American Family by Morrison Wong
It tries to challenge “the portray of Chinese family”: stable, close between generations,
economic self-sufficient, conservatism. The author tries to raise the notion that there is
NO typical Chinese family. Chinese American family is a product of interaction of
structural and cultural factors. There is constant changes and adaptations among them.
But one has to admit that Chinese American families are familist, they value the
family first and foremost, they obey filial piety, even the young generation is affected in some ways.
1850-1920 split household
most single Chinese men are labors(華工), wife and children left in China.
1920-1943 small producer family
many labors become merchant, have small assets to bring their wife and children to US,
open a grocery store, laundry, etc.
the role of women and children had become more important, compare with back in China,
wife help to run business, children speak better English than their parents.
1943-1965 normalization of the Chinese family
Still values filial piety and face
1965-present
Chinatown Chinese: many new comers and immigrants without professional skills settle
in Chinatown, run small shops or restaurants, bonding with other Chinese in similar situation.
Middle class, white-collar professionals: live in suburbs, second generation blend in mainstream
American schools and society.
The author note that Chinese seem still conservative, although divorce rates are higher in younger generations,
Chinese still values traditional piety and family bonding. They found this generation gap in
the way of expressing feelings and emotions.
Acculturation(涵化)
Young-clash of generation, identity conflicts, lack of ethnic cohesion
More and more interracial marriages
Low rate of juvenile delinquency
The Japanese American Family by Harry Kitano
First Japanese settled in Hawaii, most single men doing agriculture and labor
1890 start moving to mainland.
Issei -Wartime evacuation 1942-1945 camp life
Issei follows many traditional Japanese virtues: no freedom to choose spouse,
obligations, filial bond, male dominance, division of labor by sex, emotional restraint…
Nissei have much more freedom in the above categories.
Sansei: able to follow American expectations, have even more freedom
and values individualism. However, many young Japanese nowadays still
find themselves bond with traditional Japanese culture: food, raised with traditional Japanese virtues.
Some feel themselves are just like Americans, avoid Asian/Japanese labeling.
The affect and shadows of WWII still exists today.
這兩篇算是中規中矩的分析華人與日本人家庭在美國的轉折，看了一下作者的姓氏
應該是中國人與日本人寫的，這樣同個族裔來研究他本身族裔在美國的文章很常見，
但是多少有點缺乏新鮮感或新的角度，優點是他們或許更能洞悉身為該少數族裔的
內情吧!我在日裔美國人身上還是可以嗅到某種歷史的傷痕，在一些現代日本文章中，
日本人常常把他們在美國身上的待遇來反思。
本文由日本人的角度來看日裔美國人，先介紹歷史背景，再談當代日裔美國人的轉變。
作者以Nakane (1970) 的研究為基礎，提出了 ie (家庭)和 enryo えんりょ （讀 en li o，日文漢字寫作遠慮，意近中文謙遜）兩個極重要的傳統觀念。 "ie" 是日本人成長的核心， "enryo" 則是待人處事最重要的準則。日本傳統文化隨著移民來到美國，隨著環境也有了新的變化。
同學們已將日裔美人及華裔美人的重點以及我也想到的心得寫出了,
因此我繼續看下一部分: 義裔美人家庭, 之前閱讀的很多文章都提過華裔特性跟義大利人特性(特別是家庭部分)有些相似,
因此我對於看到這題目就有興趣繼續讀下去, 但看到一半似乎頁面切掉了, 我就上網去其他地方閱讀,將更多心得與重點補上.
