H-ASIA April 24, 2007 1920s Guangdong and Chinese Americans (query) ************************************************************************ From: Brian Hilton <bphilton@gmail.com> Can anyone guide me to works, or offer information that discusses how any of the following affected Chinese American sentiment towards the CCP and KMT: 1. Widespread extortion, exiling of merchants, and burnings undertaken by Sun Yat-sen's forces in Guangdong [Canton province] during 1924-25 2. KMT military attacks, purges, and executions aimed at Chinese labor unions or workers, specifically in Shanghai or Canton during 1927 3. The rise of "agrarian disorders" and the suppression of "radical Peasant Unions" in 1927 in Guangdong. 4. The December 1927 seizure of Canton by Communist forces, subsequent recapture of the city by the Nationalists, and the mass destruction and death in Guangdong that resulted from both the battle and continued purges. I am interested to learn if there is a connection between the conditions of residents of Guangdong (the ancestral home of many Chinese Americans) and Chinese American sentiment in the United States. I am also interested to learn if there is an explicit connection between the suppression of labor unions in China by the KMT and the rise of anti-KMT sentiment in American Chinatowns.
