DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis in-depth examination of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 provides a chronological review of the events, ordinances, and pervasive attitudes that preceded, coincided with, and followed its enactment. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was a historic act of legislation that demonstrated how the federal government of the United States once openly condoned racial discrimination. Once the Exclusion Act passed, the door was opened to further limitation of Asians in America during the late 19th century, such as the Scott Act of 1888 and the Geary Act of 1892, and increased hatred towards and violence against Chinese people based on the misguided belief they were to blame for depressed wage levels and unemployment among Caucasians. This title traces the complete evolution of the Exclusion Act, including the history of Chinese immigration to the United States, the factors that served to increase their populations here, and the subsequent efforts to limit further immigration and encourage the departure of the Chinese already in America.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLeadership Mosaics Across China is part of the nine research reports, put together by Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI), each covering an Asian country. These reports develop insights and solutions that help companies in Asia to build global leaders. Leadership Mosaics Across China is HCLI’s focus on China. Comprising two key sections, the first describes the prevalent characteristics that China business leaders tend to display and how they may need to adapt for the future. The second section turns the spotlight on China’s emerging leaders, and how they can make the next leap to become global leaders. As a practical takeaway, this report also includes a cheat sheet to help new foreign leaders in China hit the ground running. Leadership Mosaics Across China would not be possible without the support of many contributors. HCLI expresses its sincere gratitude to the C-suite (or equivalent) leaders who gamely agreed to be interviewed. Their insights, shared through honest and in-depth conversations, were invaluable in drawing out a more intricate mosaics of China leadership, both of its present and future, and of the incumbents and the emerging leaders. As Leadership Mosaics Across China continues to weave, validate, and event challenge what we know of business leadership in Asia, HCLI hopes that it will truly help companies in Asia build global leaders.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFar from being a melting pot, multi-racial Singapore prides itself on the richness of its ethnic communities and cultures. This volume provides an updated account of the heterogeneity within each of the main communities — the Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian and Others. It also documents the ethnic cultures of these communities by discussing their histories, celebrations, cultural symbols, life cycle rituals, cultural icons and attempts to preserve culture. While chapters are written by scholars drawing insight from a variety of sources ranging from academic publications to discussions with community experts, it is written in an accessible way. This volume seeks to increase intercultural understanding through presenting ample insights into the cultural beliefs and practices of the different ethnic communities. While this book is about diversity, a closer examination of the peoples and cultures of Singapore demonstrates the many similarities communities share in this Singaporean space.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOften dismissed by scholars as being no different than the Han majority of China, the Zhuang of Guangxi were recognized by Chinese rulers for the first time when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) offered them their own "autonomous" region. Kaup (political science, Furman U.) analyzes the decision to recognize (and effectively create) the Zhuang identity by the CCP as an effort to shape regional and ethnic loyalties towards integration with the centralized state. Discussing how Zhuang grassroots movements came into being as the CCP withdrew support for special treatment, she finds that calls for integration from the Zhuang has increased.
