Terms:Patriarchy: Male dominated. (Similarity ends here). When a husband marries a woman she moves into his families compoundClans: People who are either linked in blood or marriage. The families live in compounds together with the man’s family. Once married the women give up their family compound.Eldest Male: The person who leads the clan. (Could be grandfather, father, son.. who ever is the eldest.) Tells you what to do and what not to do. Who you’re going to marry. What job you will do. If you will immigrate to America.Surname: present with last name first because that is the name that matters.“Guadong” or Canton Province: are the only ones that immigrated to America. They are the trading economy, were never famers because nothing ever grew here. Exported and imported the most. None of these things were grown in this province but no one would have made money without the Guadong province.Toishan/Taishan: Most came from this city. Main people were merchants, but were also fireworks makers producers and sellers.Overpopulation: even with 1 billion people there wasn’t a problem until the emperor started messing with things, loss of jobs, and resources.Imperialism: Happened the most in Guadong when the Europeans give the jobs to themselves and take it away from the Chinese. The army them emperor was using to fight was fighting their own people. When British came in they were trying to bring in western civilization to china. Assimilation in someone else’s country. Imperialism was so successful that when the Chinese left china and went to other countries; they were able to keep their old culture better than the people they left behind.Opium Wars: Anything the Chinese had the Europeans wanted but they did not want to pay the price that they were selling it as so they go and take over.Tsunami: 2 tsunamis hit Toishan and completely destroys the harbor not once in this century but twice.Gum Saan (Gold/ Gold Mountain): Chinese heard about the Gold Rush, because Gaudong people have been trading and hear about the gold rush and promote the idea that America is not America but a Gold mountain. We gave them the false impression of free gold, because we needed workers and cheap laborers) Return Migration: Wanted all of their immigrants to return back to China. Chinese supposed to leave as single men come over to America work for 5 years saves up all money over 5 years and comes back to China and brings the money. He will bring the money hand it to the head of the clan he says thank you and he hands you your wife. Get your wife pregnant, and then go back to America and repeat this process for the next 30 years. (CHINESE WAY OF PRACTICING) Reason: Chinese will never assimilate into American society  No reason to assimilate Sojourner: people in constant motion, never stay in one place and are never part of one nation. Without a nation.Bachelor Society: women and children are all in China. Therefore all of the young Chinese men were in America alone and WASPs believe that all of these young men can not, not have sex for 30 years so they will rape the white women. They are sex-crazed. Constantly thinking about “getting that white woman.” No Family, as far as the WASPs are concerned it is completely 100% male population, but in fact a 98% male population. They are not getting married here and don’t look like they don’t have wives here. Whites fear the males will come after the white women. (Will create own ‘kind’ of family in America)Chinatown: Ethnic Enclave in San Francisco, CA: away from WASPs, but all settling together therefore they will not assimilate. The Six Companies: Kongsi: Some clans’ friends with other and some are not. The clans that get along with each other will unite when they are sending the males to America. Like actual export import companies. The clans that are friends will unite under one company and represent the families over in America. The six are companies are not friends. (Wong (10 families that are friends in China and America), Mr. Wong takes friends over to the US his company will represent the families. Gives place to live, jobs, meet people you know and trust. He asks in return for honor and respect. He is the eldest male in America. Travels on the same companies boat every time. The families control Chinatown. Crimes committed in Chinatown are controlled by Chinatown. Charged, arrested, prosecuted, etc. all by the six companies. Kongsi: Kongsi are really rich companies in China. Chinese can come to the US without the US’s help, and the untied states will not get any of that money. Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Society: a historical Chinese Association established in various parts of the United States with large populations of Chinese. The Six original Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Associations in San Francisco were already operating as separate entities with some degree of mutual coordination before the first Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association was formally established in 1882. the Sam Yup Company, Yeong Wo Company, Kong Chow Company, Ning Yung Company, Hop Wo Company, and Yan Wo Company.Tongs: Is everyone represented by the six companies? NO. Orphans, families always don’t get along, They also come to the do the same things as the six companies, but are not them. Organizations that help each other out economically and friendly. They have no power in Chinatown. Six companies make fun of them. Tongs get the stereotype of organized crime, like the Irish Gangs. Nothing was illegal when they were around. Nothing is illegal in California therefore nothing can be crime. BUT now today tongs are organized gangs and there are still six companies but they have no power. Six Companies promote the idea that they are into organized crime. Six companies sold out their people, and made the WASPs go after them. Coolies: “Hard Labor” will work any kind of hard labor for almost nothing Gold Miners: Problem with gold mining, you can’t just get off a boat and hammering away at rocks for gold. For the gold you must own the land for that gold to be yours. They do not have the money to buy the land. They had to be employed by gold miners per and hourly rate. What you find goes to the boss and you get paid per hour. Chinese would hide gold and WASPs caught on and forced Chinese to be strip searched for the gold. Then the Chinese would hide it “other places.” The WASPs would stick
