In 1882, the United States Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act to prohibit immigration of Chinese laborers. This act was the first law that banned all members of a specific ethnic or racial group from immigrating to the country. The historiography of this Act has heavily emphasized the labor movement as the focus of the anti-Chinese movement. Through analysis of newspapers, academic articles, and the Congressional Records of 1882, the resulting research found that health and disease discourse of Chinese immigrants was a strong factor in the anti-Chinese movement. This discourse also factored into Chinese attempts at legal action after the Act was passed, when their rights were violated regarding their control over their own health. This project shows that this discourse of Chinese foreign disease shaped the United States legally and socially for more than half a century. In many ways, it continues to shape the country today, as fears of foreign diseases crossing the border from Central and South America permeated public discourse in the 2010s.
