浅探劳务移民中的种族歧视——以新西兰太平洋岛民为例

A Brief Analysis of the Racial Discrimination Engendered by Labor Migration, A Case Study of Pacific Islanders in New Zealand

作为新西兰第三大少数族裔,太平洋岛民的经济地位较低,受教育程度较低,犯罪率较高,社会经济地位较为弱势。用劳务移民导致的种族主义为理论框架来分析新西兰太平洋岛民移民的历史,可发现太平洋岛民社会地位之低与其早期被新西兰政府粗暴对待关系密切。新西兰太平洋岛民移民史中重要却又鲜被研究的"拂晓攻击"(The Dawn Raids)案例,与新西兰善待移民的国际形象有所出入。事实证明,因排斥移民而带来的种族歧视是新西兰历史上无法抹去的一部分。

As the third biggest ethnic minority group in New Zealand,the Pacific Islanders hold the social images with comparatively lower social,economic and education backgrounds,but a relatively higher level of criminal rate.Such social image is closely related to the history of the migration background of Pacific Islanders.This article treats the immigration history of Pacific Islanders in New Zealand as a case study to test Robert Mile's theoretical framework of racial discrimination led by labor migration,"Dawn Raid",the event in which the New Zealand government used inhumane methods to force overstaying Pacific Islanders to leave New Zealand,which has challenged the traditional notion that New Zealand is a country that warmly welcomes all types of immigrants.The facts proved that the discrimination brought by excluding the immigration is part of indelible history in New Zealand.
