    Extractions: T hroughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Asians and Asian-Americans have called Arkansas their home. Many came to the state in order to take advantage of employment and social opportunities. However, several thousand Asians and Asian-Americans arrived in the state by force during the internment camp period of the 1940s. Today, Asian and Asian-American influence can readily be found in many towns of the Delta where generations of families have helped to develop the area. This section tells the story of the Chinese and Japanese who came to the state in the 1800s and 1900s. Back to Top

    Extractions: I n order to develop lands west of the Mississippi River during the 1800s, Americans needed foreign labor. This demand for labor was an important factor for Chinese immigration to the United States after 1840. They filled the roles of railroad workers, cooks, launderers, grain farmers, fruit growers, tide-land drainers, miners and other laborers needed in Western frontier communities. Most of the Chinese workers in the United States during the late 1800s were married. They supported a family back in their homeland and were lured to America by the thought of finding gold in California. Their reality included homelessness and poor wages. In Arkansas, the Chinese immigrants primarily came from Canton province in Southern China , Hong Kong and Taiwan. They settled in a variety of small towns in the Delta including Holly Grove, Helena, Blytheville, Hughes, Pine Bluff, Turrell, Dermott and Round Pond. In the 1870s and 1880s, these immigrants worked in the cotton fields of Lincoln, Jefferson and Pulaski counties as part of a work force brought in by the Arkansas Valley Immigration Company that specifically targeted this group for the cotton fields of Arkansas. Gov. Powell Clayton noted that, "Undoubtedly, the underlying motive of this effort to bring in Chinese laborers was to punish the Negro for having abandoned the control of his master." They were contracted to work for no more than five years and were paid the equivalent of several months of wages and the passage that the plantation owner paid for his voyage to Arkansas.

    Extractions: It's official. Indian Americans are the fastest growing Asian group in the United States. The group surged by 105.9 percent between 1990 and 2000, according to the 2000 census. The population now stands close to two million. Representing the greatest growth of any Asian group in decennial census history, Indian Americans have become the third largest Asian group in the U.S. behind Chinese and Filipino Americans. "The economy definitely had something to do with this increase," Parag Khandhar, a policy associate and census coordinator at the American Federation Census Information Center told Indian online magazine rediff.com. "One obvious factor for the growth in the Indian-American community is the importing of hi-tech workers." From 1987 through 1997, on average about 35,000 Indians immigrated permanently to the United States annually. This does not include those who obtained high-skilled H-1B visas to work in the United States for up to six years.

    Extractions: May 15, 2001 Fuelled by the demand for hi-tech visa workers as well as a growing number of immigrants sponsoring their families, the Asian Indian population in the United States has doubled in the last 10 years, according to data released on Tuesday by the Census Bureau and analyzed by the Asian American Federation Census Information Centre. Based on the count of the 2000 Census, there are 1.7 million people in the US who identify themselves as Asian Indians or Indian Americans first- and second-generation immigrants or those whose ancestors migrated to the US from India. "It is a little early to say, but the economy definitely has something to do with this increase," Parag Khandhar, a policy associate and census coordinator at AAFCIC said. "One obvious factor for the growth in the Indian American community is the importing of the hi-tech workers." According to an estimate provided by the Immigration Support Network, a lobby group that works in the interests of H1-B workers, last year there were approximately 400,000 Asian Indian hi-tech visa holders in the US. Most of them had arrived in the past few years to run what was then a booming new (Internet-based) economy. "If you look at places like New Jersey and New York City, you are seeing that more Indian Americans specifically are getting involved in politics and thinking about representation issues," Khandhar said, adding that these people were inspired by the dramatic increase in the numbers of Asian Indians. Currently there are five South Asians, including three Indian Americans, running for the New York City Council.

19. Linking The Past To Present: Asian Americans Then And Now

    Extractions: In response to the challenge of changing demographics more than a century ago, the San Francisco School Board established a segregated Chinese Primary School for Chinese children to attend, including those who were American-born. By the turn-of-the century after Japanese immigrants had settled in the wake of Chinese exclusion, the School Board also applied the Chinese segregation policy to Japanese students. School superintendent, Aaron Altmann, advised the city's principals: "Any child that may apply for enrollment or at present attends your school who may be designated under the head of 'Mongolian' must be excluded, and in furtherance of this please direct them to apply at the Chinese School for enrollment." Throughout their history, Asian Americans have confronted a long legacy of exclusion and inequity in relation to school policies and practices, particularly during periods of changing demographics, economic recession, or war. In spite of historic, linguistic differences, distinct Asian nationalities have been grouped together and treated similarly in schools and in the larger society. The grouping of Asian Americans together, then, makes sense in light of historic links from the past to the present.

    Extractions: Although, the first South Asians came in the 1790s, there were only 523 South Asians in North America in 1898. Between 1899-1913 the first immigration wave brought nearly 7,000 South Asians. These early pioneers were primarily Sikh farmers from the Punjab region who came to California and the Pacific Northwest to work the fields when white nativist hysteria excluded immigration from China, Japan, and Korea. South Asians, however, soon faced significant opposition from organized labor who petitioned to stop immigration from Asia altogether. Under such hostility, many left and by 1940 the number of South Asians decreased significantly, with approximately 2,400 remaining in the U.S. World War II marked a second immigration wave and public support for South Asians increased as the prospect of India’s independence came closer to reality. In 1946, the Luce-Celler bill lifted the ban on South Asian immigration. By 1947, Mahatma Gandhi and the people of South Asia put an end to British colonialism, and many students came to the U.S. to study.
