Taiwanese American Immigrant Story Questions

CLICK ON ABOVE IMAGE TO SEE ENTIRE DOC.

Audience: Taiwanese Americans, specifically those who immigrated to the U.S. as university students during the 1960s & 70s and their families.

Format: 2 page handout

Description: This is list of interview questions that correspond to the video “Taiwanese American Immigration History” by Chungchin Chin & Yehru Lee which can be found here on YouTube.

Background: My mom sent me this video that tells the story of many Taiwanese American immigrants who came to the U.S. to study in the 1960s & 1970s. The video is more generalized, but I thought it would make a great jumping off point for immigrants to tell more details about their own personal stories and share family history, my parents included. I wrote up these interview questions to help them reflect on and tell about their experiences.
