Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawai'i at Manoa, 1990.

This dissertation is to examine Chinese immigrant integration into the polyethnic society of Hawaii through a case study of the historical and contemporary Palolo Chinese Home. The Home was started in Honolulu in 1917 as a care home for indigent and old single male Chinese due to the combined efforts both by local Chinese and the host society. The writing will examine the social and historical circumstances enabling the traditional Chinese value of filial piety to be incorporated in an American eleemosynary institution. It will review the development of the Home from 1917 to the 1970s, to study how the Home had become more and more Americanized structurally due to the impact of the host culture, the impact of the charitable organization and the U.S. national policy towards the aged in particular; whereas culturally the residents had kept many things Chinese. The dissertation concludes with an examination of the contemporary situation and the changes in the Home's cultural blends. I conducted my research into the Home's contemporary characteristics during four months of intensive fieldwork, observing the residents and participating in all the activities. Taking the Palolo Chinese Home as a specific case, it is expected that this writing shall shed some light on the integration of a minority Chinese culture into American society.Subjects--Topical Terms:
