摘要
美国是一个移民大国,建国以来的200多年间吸引了许多国家的移民,其中亚裔美国人是美国重要的少数族裔群体,主要包括来自中国、日本、朝鲜、菲律宾、越南和印度等国的移民。亚洲人移居美国以及在美国的发展受到美国移民政策的影响和制约。二战以来,美国对亚洲移民的政策做了较大的调整,亚洲移民的人数不断增加,在美国形成了亚裔群体。他们从自身的利益出发,日益增强了亚裔人的族群意识。这一现象表明,族群意识的建构往往是在特定的历史时期和社会背景中形成的;族群建构的目的是在多元种族和多元民族的社会中,为本族群争取最大的权益;族群的建构可以超越种族和民族的界限。
As an immigrant country., the United States has attracted immigrants from all over the world in the past 200 years. Among them, Asian Americans, coming from China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, India, etc., constitute an important part of minority ethnic groups in America. The number and development of Asian immigrants have been influenced and constrained by the U. S. Immigration Policy. Due to an adjustment in the U. S. Immigration Policy after WWII, the number of Asian immigrants has been growing so fast that it later became an Asian - American ethnic group. Therefore, we conclude that the construction of ethnic group is formed in specific time and specific background; the aim of the construction of ethnic group is to obtain maximum ethnic interests; the construction of ethnic group can overcome the boundaries between races and between nations.
