Becoming American: The Chinese Experience

Released in conjunction with a PBS television series dealing with the Chinese experience in America (hosted by Bill Moyers), this site provides a host of information, video clips, personal recollections, and other materials that serve as an excellent complement to the series. Visitors may want to start by examining the Portraits section, which highlights some first-person narratives of what their respective experiences of being Chinese in the United States has been like. Along with browsing through these narratives (which can be searched by place of origin within China and current residence in the United States), visitors can submit their own recollections and narratives as well. Within the site, users can also take short quizzes and browse an interactive timeline (complete with video clips) that begins in the 1830s and concludes in the year 2000. Educators will find the page devoted to external links and resources immensely helpful, as it contains dozens of additional Web sites and a 48-page educator's guide for utilizing the series in the classroom as an educational tool.
