Book Review: Patterns of Prejudice: A History of Nativism in Alberta

white-collar professions. Amid these changes continuity with the past is evident. One aspect of the continuity is the over concentration of the Chinese population in the traditional Chinatowns. Continuity with the past is also manifested in 1) low geographical mobility; 2) a large foreign-born population; 3) the persisting predominance of the male sex; 4) retention of other immigrant characters such as the existence of many younger, unmarried adults and a much larger proportion of absentee spouses; and 5) high illiteracy. The author noted that, statistically, the social, educational and financial gains of the highly educated and skilled immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong have created a deceptive picture about the Chinese population in America. This is a statistical aberration which obscures the plight of most Chinese in America. The above conclusion reached is nothing new. Researchers and students of the various Chinese communities have long realized and have pointed out that the federal government as well as various helping professions and foundations have been misled by the success story of one segment of the community. The difference here is that Pao-min Chang was able to document the disparity within the Chinese population with some success. The work has two other shortcomings. One is the lack of reference of relevant works. For instance, a work of similar scope by Betty Lee Sung(1976), A Survey ofChinese-American Manpower and Employment, was not mentioned. As a data manual, Mr. Chang's study is out of date. Although the book was published in 1983, the author did not make any effort to use the census data of 1980 to update his information. Most of the information he used was gathered in the early 19705.
