	chen/Being Chinese, Becoming Chinese American. Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This is a study of the transformation of Chinese identity in the United States between 1911 and 1927.

		The disappointments in China's presence at the exposition and in the Chinese government's acceptance of the Twenty-one Demands served as an impetus for the development of a Chinese American identity, the essence of which was embodied in the formation of the China Mail Steamship Company.
