Jamaica

During the 1960s and 1970s, substantial migration of Jamaican Hakkas to the USA and Canada occurred.^[1] Most Chinese Jamaicans are Hakka; they have a long history in Jamaica. Between 1845 and 1884, nearly 5000 Hakkas arrived in Jamaica in three major voyages. The Hakkas seized the opportunity to venture into a new land, embracing the language, customs, and culture. Many Jamaican Hakkas, and also American Jamaican Hakkas also have African ancestry.^[2]

Topic is discussed in Finding Samuel Lowe and Global Hakka, should be enough to avoid synthesis now.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:16, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Prisencolin can you quote me the lines from the book? This is precisely synth. The reason is because "Jamaicans" migrated to US and precisely "Chinese Jamaicans". There is a difference between first and second level migration. That is the reason why for example, Native Americans are not called Asian Americans even though there are theories that they came over from Asia. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:06, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the book, but I'd imaging it would be under the chapter titled "Chee Gah Ngin: Many Places One People"--Prisencolin (talk) 05:39, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
