[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Taking example from Michael Ondaatje's "Running in the Family," the student is able to reflect upon one's own Chinese heritage and openly relate to the inherent struggles associated with progress and modernization.

[ 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.

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.
