'Fan Meifuri:' the Chinese student movement opposing the U.S. rehabilitation of Japan, 1948
Article Abstract:
The wave of anti-American sentiment that swept China in the late 1940s was taken advantage of by the Communist Party to strengthen its hold on US-educated Chinese intellectuals. In particular, two events served the purposes of the Chinese communists. These were the support given by the US to the Chinese Nationalist Party and the economic rehabilitation of Japan to serve as a protective wall against the spread of communism in Asia. The rise of the 'fan meifuri' or student movement opposed to American build-up of Japan was a concrete example of communists efforts to fan anti-Americanism.

Challenging an immigrant discourse: the rise of the local-born Chinese in Vancouver, 1945-1970
Article Abstract:
The attempts of the 'tusheng' or Canadian Chinese to exert their own identity were viewed by immigrant Chinese as the end result of deculturation. Thus, from the early part of the 20th century up to 1945, the 'tusheng' were marginalized by the community of immigrant Chinese. However, after 1945, Chinese born in Canada began to be active in presenting their own identity. The 'tusheng''s efforts was prominently marked by their attempts in aligning their cultural orientation toward Canadian society and reaffirming their cultural differences.
