- Abstract
The racial topic is always the hot spot among the American public. As the significant minority group with special background in America, Chinese American females in interracial marriage are worthwhile to be focused on. In this research, we contribute to figuring out the reasons behind the self-identity change of Chinese American women from aspects of history, politics and economics. Through data research and literature analysis, the paper demonstrates the real position of Chinese American women in interracial marriage. It indicates that the necessity of adapting to American society and the chasing for self-worth facilitate self-identity changes. This finding also shows that higher status in society is what Chinese American females are eager for, so interracial marriage becomes an ideal way to obtain what they desire. It provides a fresh point to survey the situation of Chinese immigrants in America, especially leading people to pay more attention to Chinese American women’s living conditions and psychology in interracial marriage.
