摘要

本章考察了早期美籍华人的慈善活动。它揭示了从中国移民开始到第二次世界大战,慈善事业在华裔美国人日常生活中的非凡地位。这篇文章说明了在华人散居的背景下,美国华人慈善事业的巨大规模,并显示了种族团结在激励和动员华裔美国人捐赠方面的重要性。这样的审视凸显了西方浪漫主义的慈善观念的局限性,即把慈善单纯地视为一种“自愿的私人捐赠”行为,其动机是对他人的普遍爱。早期美国华人捐赠的特点也可以帮助我们更好地理解今天美国华人慈善的模式。

Chinese Charity in Early Chinese American History
This chapter examines philanthropic activities in early Chinese American history. It reveals the extraordinary prominence of philanthropy in the daily life of Chinese Americans from beginning of Chinese immigration to WWII. The essay illustrates the enormous magnitude of Chinese American philanthropy in the context of the Chinese diaspora and shows the importance of ethnic solidarity in motivating and mobilizing Chinese Americans to give. Such an examination underlines the limitations of the western romantic notions of philanthropy exclusively and simplistically as an act of “voluntary private giving,” motivated by universal love for others. The features of Chinese American giving in the early years can also help us better understand patterns of Chinese American charity today.
