Chinese on the American Frontier

Chinese immigrants played a dynamic role in frontier America, yet scholars of Asian America have focused for the most part only on the Pacific Coast, especially California. This reader fills that gap by collecting memoirs, documents, and historical analyses from the other Western states--from the Cascades to the Great Plains--to provide a comprehensive overview of the Chinese in nineteenth-century America.Dirlik, Arif is the author of 'Chinese on the American Frontier', published 2003 under ISBN 9780847685332 and ISBN 0847685330.
