墨西哥华人移民的抗争与奋斗
北京大学 李安山
摘要:墨西哥是一个文化多元的社会。6万多华侨华人(40万华裔)所占比例虽然很小,却是这一多元社会的有机组成部分,在墨西哥历史上扮演过重要角色。本文力图探讨墨西哥华侨华人的奋斗史,包括导致他(她)们远赴墨西哥的拉力和推力因素,在墨西哥各地的分布情况,华人社团的组织与抗争,以及多次排华事件造成的影响。虽然经历了重重艰难,但长期的生活经历使墨西哥华人已逐渐融合于当地社会。大量新移民的涌入增强了当地华人社会的中华文化意识,延缓了华人群体同化于当地的过程。作者认为,只有实现对居住国的政治认同,华人才能真正做到落地生根。

The Struggle of Chinese Immigrants in Mexico
Li Anshan
Abstract:Mexico is a multicultural society. Although the proportion of about 60000 overseas Chinese(400000 ethnic Chinese)is very small,it is an organic part of this pluralistic society and has played an important role in the history of Mexico. This paper attempts to explore the history of struggle and life of the overseas Chinese in Mexico,including the pulling force and pushing force, their distribution in Mexico,the organization and resistance of Chinese communities and the impact of several anti-Chinese incidents in history. Although they have experienced many difficulties,the longtime life experience has integrated them in the Mexican society. The influx of a large number of Chinese new immigrants has enhanced the awareness of Chinese culture in the local Chinese society and delayed the process of assimilation of the group into the local community. The author argues that only by realizing the political identity of the country where they live,the Chinese community really take root there.
