Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project tries to delineate the comprehensive history of the U.S. Census, with special emphasis on the local enumeration of “residual” people, who did not clearly fit into the “color” or “race” classification, from “all other free persons,”Chinese, Japanese, and “mixed-race” populations. In 1790, local enumeration of “all other free persons” was sometimes a means of surveillance. In the mid-19th Century, the boundary of “whiteness” became ambiguous, which meant that some enumerators reported Chinese as being “White.” Based on these enumerations at a local level, the U.S. Census in the late 19th Century started to function as part of a “comprehensive race policy” toward immigrants from Asia.
