Kazuko Nakane’ s history of the early Japanese immigrants to central California’s Pajaro Valley focuses on the development of farming communities there from 1890 to 1940. The Issei(first-generation immigrants)were brought into the Pajaro Valley to raise sugar beets. Like Issei laborers in American cities, Japanese men in rural areas sought employment via the "boss" system. The system comprised three elements: immigrant wage laborers; Issei boardinghouses where laborers stayed; and labor contractors, who gathered workers for a particular job and then negotiated a contract between workers and employer. This same system was originally utilized by the Chinese laborers who had preceded the Japanese. A re- lated institution was the "labor club," which provided job information and negotiated employment contracts and other legal matters, such as the rental of land, for Issei who chose to belong and paid an annual fee to the cooperative for membership.
When the local sugar beet industry collapsed in 1902, the Issei began to lease land from the valley’ s strawberry farmers. The Japanese provided the labor and the crop was divided between laborers and landowners. The Issei thus moved quickly from wage-labor employment to sharecropping agreements. A limited amount of economic progress was made as some Issei were able to rent or buy farmland directly, while others joined together to form farming corporation. As the Issei began to operate farms, they began to marry and start families, forming an established Japanese American community. Unfortunately, the Issei’s efforts to attain a-gricultural independence were hampered by government restrictions, such as the Alien Land Law of 1913. But immigrants could circumvent such exclusionary laws by leasing or purchasing land in their American-born children’s names. Nakane’ s case study of one rural Japanese American community provides valuable information about the lives and experiences of the Issei. It is, however, too particularistic. This limitation de- rives from Nakane’ s methodology that of oral history which cannot substitute for a broader theoretical or comparative perspective. Future research might well consider two issues raised by her study: were the Issei of the Pajaro Valley similar to or different from Issei in urban settings, and what variations existed between rural Japanese American communities?
The author of the passage would most likely agree that which of the following, if it had been included in Nakane’ s study, would best remedy the particularistic nature of that study?
选项
A、A statistical table comparing per capita income of Issei wage laborers and sharecroppers in the Pajaro Valley.
B、A statistical table showing per capita income of Issei in the Pajaro Valley from 1890 to 1940.
C、A statistical table showing rates of farm ownership by Japanese Americans in four central California counties from 1890 to 1940.
D、A discussion of original company documents dealing with the Pajaro Valley sugar beet industry at the turn of the century.
E、Transcripts of interviews conducted with members of the Pajaro Valley Japanese American community who were born in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
答案
C
解析
原文作者认为:如果下列哪项内容存在于Nakane的研究文中,会使其过于特殊的毛病得以矫正?实际上就是问Nakane过于特殊的研究的毛病是什么。见原文最后的两个问题,实际就是Nakane在研究中没有做到的。∴C正确。四个中部加州的县的日裔美国人经营农业情况统计。解决了第二个问题:农村日裔社会之间有什么差异。A、B、D、E四选项,仍然是关注P山谷一地,还是会犯特殊化的毛病。
