Abstract:

This research project seeks to understand the scope and sources of ethnic and other political identities among U.S. residents of Chinese descent whose families originated from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and elsewhere in Asia. In what ways, to which extent, and why do Chinese Americans from various homeland origins identify themselves politically in the United States? Informed by past research on ethnic identity formation and political transnationalism, this research analyzes a large-scale public opinion survey of Chinese in Southern California to report the contours and sources of political identities and their relationship to homeland origins, transnational ties, and adaptation experiences in the Unites States, while controlling for the influence of sociodemographic factors. By measuring homeland influence with socialization context and by distinguishing among various socialization contexts and types of transnational practices, the findings provide important modification to the scholarship on immigrant assimilation and transnationalism.
