The purpose of this study is to provide a better understanding of the dual role of the Chinese restaurant business in transforming the social identity as well as preserving the cultural identity of Chinese immigrants as they became a part of the American social and cultural scene. The emphasis is on both the sense of adherence to old-world cultural values and the general process of adaptation in the new world.

520 $a The purpose of this study is to provide a better understanding of the dual role of the Chinese restaurant business in transforming the social identity as well as preserving the cultural identity of Chinese immigrants as they became a part of the American social and cultural scene. The emphasis is on both the sense of adherence to old-world cultural values and the general process of adaptation in the new world.
520 $a The dissertation argues that it is the marriage between Chinese heritage and American multicultural environment that has shaped the present condition of the Chinese restaurant business and the close relationship between Chinese immigrants and the business in the United States. In addition to lack of opportunity in the competitive labor market, impact of US immigration policies, and other related factors, the Chinese cultural character, including values, attitudes, and skills in a particular direction played a significant role in the Chinese immigrant occupation and business investment choice. On the other hand, one should not ignore the new world environment where people have been inclined to be open to cultural representations of other ethnicities.
