Overview
Chinese immigrants were one of the earliest groups to arrive in America. But unlike many of the immigrants from Europe arriving at the same time, these early immigrants often found themselves ostracized by exclusion laws and never expected to overcome cultural barriers. Chinese Americans: The Immigrant Experience takes a hard look at the unique and painful experiences of Chinese immigrants trying to make America their home, and explores the various ways Chinese Americans have negotiated between assimilating and maintaining ethnic identity. Carefully selected photographs add perspective and insight to the text.Editorials

This weighty oversized title is a 'must' for any serious collection of ethnic history: Chinese Americans covers the immigrant experience for Chinese Americans, one of the earliest groups to arrive in America - and one of the most persecuted. Historical text blends with 200 black and white photos and many color panels and illustrations to add depth and detail to the story of Chinese American experiences across the country. Very highly recommended.Book Details
