《海外排華百年史》內容簡介：For a whole century, since the Opium War（1839-1842）, the Chinese people suffered imperialistic aggression at home and racial dis-crimination abroad. The United States ofAmerica in its racial discriminatory immigration policy toward China set a bad examplefollowed by Canada, Australia and NewZealand. It passed four different periods: free,prohibitive, restricted and equal. During theseperiods, the four countries clearly excluded theChinese as a very dissimilar race not suitablefor assimilation. This kind of the first nationalact in the United States was the Chinese Ex-clusion Act of 1882. The ensuing four coun-tries witnessed similar immigration policieswith an intention to control the coming of theChinese laborers and to deny their privilege ofapplication for citizenship after they entered.Under the helpless circumstances, most ofthem were pushed into socalled Chinatownsleading miserable lives. It was not until the newU.S. Immigration Act of 1965, giving equalstatus to all countries, did the situation forChinese in the English-speaking Pacific basincountries change. Andthese changes evidentlyaffected the change of the immigrant road map.
