战后美国台籍华侨社会的形成浅述

American Communities of Overseas Chinese from Taiwan after World War Ⅱ

第二次世界大战后的美国华侨社会发生变化,主要表现为台湾居民大量地移民美国,形成别具特色的台籍华侨社会。台籍华侨社会的形成是国际人口迁移中“推拉效应”的体现。台籍华侨社会与传统的华侨社会在语言、生活方式、社区结构和社团组织等方面有所不同,台侨聚集的新社区也不再是传统的华埠。台侨社会带有台湾本土社会的若干生活方式,而受过高等教育、家人的团聚、职业分布的多样化等是台侨社会的新特征。

The situation of Overseas Chinese suddenly changed in US after World War Ⅱ, and this is because a large number of Taiwan Residents immigrated to America, and formed the special community of overseas Taiwan Chinese. The community formed by overseas Taiwan Chinese is mainly affected by 'push - pull effect' of international migration theory. In the form of community, the overseas Taiwan Chinese are different from traditional overseas Chinese in language, life - style, structure and organization. The new communities of overseas Taiwan Residents have not gathered in traditional Chinatowns. The community of overseas Taiwan Residents has some characteristics, such as native life-style of Taiwan Residents, receiving higher education, and orientation of family reunion.
