En se basant sur des entrevues appronfondies avec quatorze membres de la lignée Kwaan résidant à Victoria et Vancouver, l'auteur montre qu'il y avait d'importantes différences d'attitudes, d'organisation sociale et de comportement entre les Chinois qui ont immigré en Amérique du Nord avant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale et ceux qui sont venus après la guerre. Par comparaison avec les communautés chinoises en Asie du Sud‐Est, l'auteur arrive à la conclusion que de telles différences étaient le résultat d'une interaction complexe entre les changements des modèles d'immigration, les: fonctions économiques différentes des immigrants chinois aussi bien que de la transformation du milieu socio‐politique du pays d'origine et du pays d'accueil. Based on the study of in‐depth interviews with fourteen members of the Kwaan Lineage residing in Victoria and Vancouver, the author shows that there were important differences in attitudes, social organizations, and behaviour patterns between the Chinese who immigrated to North America before the Second World War and those who came after the war. By comparing with Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, the author concludes that such discontinuities were the result of a complex interplay of the changing patterns of migration, the different economic functions of the Chinese immigrants, as well as the changing sociopolitical milieu of the host and the mother countries
