The article discusses Chinese refugees to the U.S. during the early part of the Cold War. The article examines the immigration of Chinese refugees to the U.S. from 1948 to 1966, how such immigrants assimilated into American life, and scholarly attention to such immigrants. The author argues that many Chinese refugees who immigrated to the U.S. during the early part of the Cold War enjoyed comparative advantages in assimilation due to what she calls the global imaginary of integration fostered by U.S. government agencies such as the State Department.
