Research Project: I am conducting research on Chinese immigrant children in San Francisco in the late 19th and early 20th century. I am especially interested in the effects of Chinese exclusion legislation in limiting their entry into the United States as well as the experiences of those children who were successful in settling in the city. I will be examining the role of these children in the local labor market, city educational institutions and the Chinatown community. Any references or source suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
