Exclusion and the Chinese American story

Sarah-SoonLing Blackburn (Author)
"If you've learned about the history of Chinese people in America, it was probably about their work on the railroads in the 1800s. But it's more than likely that you have not learned about Chinese American history at all. The story of Chinese people in the United States starts earlier than most people realize. When immigration increased in the mid-1800s, so did efforts to ban immigrants from China. But hope, strength, and community allowed the Chinese population in America to flourish. From the Gold Rush to entrepreneurs, animators, and movie stars, this is the true story of the Chinese American experience."--Back cover
