• W33629569 abstract "The Launceston Chinese community makes up only a small proportion of the Launceston population,yet inspite of this fact it remains an active, cohesive cultural group. The community, however, inspite of being identifiably a group made up of a specific, racially defined, sector of the Launcestoncommunity is not exclusive. The group, although Chinese, is equally Australian and the membersconsider themselves middle people, with a unique perspective on two vastly different cultures,which allows them to function socially with more alternatives than the either the Chinese living inChina or Europeans living in Australia, a culturally European-based society.Contributing factors for the existence of this situation come from many sources. The cultureof the Australia as essentially a European colony, and the history of China, particularly in the last 160years have both influenced immigration patterns. The political and social turmoil that China hasundergone during this era has proved a powerful motivating factor for Chinese to emigrate.Australian history is of equal importance. The Australian demand for labour and the goldrushesprovided economic prospects for Chinese and this proved a motivating factor inattracting Chinese toimmigrate to Australia.Tasmania's history of differences from other colonies and states provided opportunities foreconomic prospects without the same extent of racial antagonism experienced in other areas ofAustralia. Thus the Tasmanian tin industry drew much Chinese secondary immigration, and theconcentrations of Chinese in the North East gave them the cultural freedom and security to develop aharmonious and even mutually beneficial relationship with European immigrant sectors of thecommunity.The Chinese community of the twentieth century, particularly the post World War II era, sawthe Tasmanian Chinese community linked more strongly with some of the problems between Asiansand Europeans in other parts of Australia. This was because of Federation in 1901 and the jurisdictionfor immigration legislation passing from the hands of the colonial government to that of the federalgovernment. Legislative persecution of Tasmanian Chinese inspired by racial disputes that originatedin different colonies ensued.In the era 1966- 1973 changing attitudes led to the dismantling of the legislation, known asthe White Australia Policy and a wave of educated, enterprising and entrepreneurial Chineseimmigrants began to arrive in Launceston. Through an examination of the composition of the modernLaunceston Chinese community, its concerns, organisations and activities, this study will portray acommunity neither fully Chinese nor fully Australian; neither assimilated nor isolated, and also notstrictly both Australian and Chinese. Instead they are a middle people who have synthesised theirown unique culture out of comparing and reconciling aspects of both Australian and Chinese cultureand thus synthesising something completely new." @default.
