Description
This newspaper acts like a history essay, in the sense that it gives a breakdown of the history of Chinese migration to Hawaii. A lot of Chinese men came to Hawaii in order to find work so that they could either send the money home to their families, or they would bring their wives and children over as well to start a new life. The person writing this article also keeps referring to Hawaii as the ‘great experimental station of America’, because of the different nationalities that live on the island. The significance of this article shows the type of labour the Chinese did in Hawaii and how they were able to integrate into Hawaiian society. The author paints a flattering picture of life in Hawaii for Chinese immigrants, however how true this actually was, is still to be decided.
