Chew and Associates explored the many means and methods employed by the Chinese to circumvent immigration laws. They used primary sources, including published law enforcement documents from 1896-1902 to examine the prevalence and techniques that came to be known as "substitution schemes" (Chew et al

Evidence by Chew and Associates determined that evidence from steamship manifests was sufficiently large enough to account for the apparent exchange of the aged for the youthful in the Chinese population. A new Generation of Historiographers Early historiographers paid little attention to the Asian population in the United States, but rather continued to propagate the myths and racism that surrounded them (Daniels, B7)
Instead, it seems to have increased Chinese immigration, when compared to the 30 years before the Exclusion Act. (Lee, 29)
The Exclusion Act is evidence of this important step in national identity. Omi and Winant called this process "race formation" (Omi and Winant, 57-69)
However, like today there are few statistics to back up these assumptions. The fourth ploy used to enter the country is a "substitution" scheme that took advantage of a policy that allowed Chinese immigrants to land at American sea ports on their way to Mexico and other destinations (Romero, 3)
Brown (2006) notes that the American abolitionist movement had an even broader and more global effect because it influenced British domestic policy regarding the morality of slavery. Whereas slavery was primarily viewed for its economic benefits in the United States, slavery lacked this core dimension in the Old World and thus it became easier to promote abolitionism there from a purely moral standpoint (Brown, 2006)
Slavery persisted until 1864, when the Civil War ended and President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was followed by a series of Constitutional Amendments, revealing the extensive impact the movement had on contemporary American life (Walters, 1984)
A historian writes, "Blaine's policy toward Latin America had two main objectives: promotion of peace and increased trade. Both were in a sense anti-European" (DeConde, 1963, p
Another historian writes, "At the turn of the century, Europeans expressed concern over the future United States role in world affairs. Their concern had its source in the obvious capacity of American industry to flood the markets of Europe (Varg, 1971, p
The movies depicted a "battlefield that was far way, and not only assured us of that fact, but gave Americans a totally romanticized view of war. In movies and newsreels, death usually happened without pain (Bresler)
The Screwball Comedy Since the "earliest days of cinema, there has been the existence of clown comedy, however the screwball variety arose during the Great Depression. One might liken it to an innovative brand of farce, where the old boy-meets-girl formula was turned on its ear, producing free-spirited heroines who gave as good as they got (Gehring)
They functioned to depict a unity of purpose and why sacrifices were necessary. They also motivated and encouraged stateside audiences to do their part for the war effort (King)
" Most newsreels covered five or six stories over a six-minute span, with most stories considered fluff. While occasionally the "cameras would catch something truly eventful, like the explosion of the Hindenburg in 1937, in the days of newsreels, truly historic footage tended to be dumb luck (Levins)
This industrialization process from 1860s to the 1920s was essential because the North was able to advance its technology in terms of industrial power whereas the South would be able to break away from the agricultural traditional means of existence. The results were immediate, in less then 50 years the United States became the largest industrial nation in the world (Katers, 2006)
Critical Incident Analysis has four steps that would have greatly benefited Derek in his attempt to analyze what happened between father and son -- Acknowledgement, Confrontation, Reflection, and Commitment. These steps would have encouraged Derek to admit that "something of significance" just occurred, confront his family about it, think about the experience, and "a commitment to maintain a stance of openness around racial/cultural experiences" (Collins and Pieterse 2007, p
This can serve as a warning to counselors who may be prone to using racial and culturally developed models. Counselors should use this film to understand that, while these models may be the best way to approach the situation, they need to refrain from responding "to the culturally diverse client in a very stereotypic manner and [failing] to recognize within-group or individual differences (Sue and Sue 2008, p
When Bello was installed as rector of the University of Chile in 1843, he gave an address praising the liberal, humanistic spirit of the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Modernity and progress began when the "intellectual heritage of Greece and Rome" was "reclaimed by the human spirit after a long era of darkness" (Bello 53)
