The Chinese in America A Narrative History By: Iris Chang Publisher: Penguin Books (P-US) Print ISBN: 9780142004173, 0142004170 eText ISBN: 9781101126875, 1101126876 Format: EPUB Available from $ 15.99 USD SKU: 9781101126875 For Sale in US* Only In an epic story that spans 150 years and continues to the present day, Iris Chang tells of a people’s search for a better life—the determination of the Chinese to forge an identity and a destiny in a strange land and, often against great obstacles, to find success. She chronicles the many accomplishments in America of Chinese immigrants and their descendents: building the infrastructure of their adopted country, fighting racist and exclusionary laws, walking the racial tightrope between black and white, contributing to major scientific and technological advances, expanding the literary canon, and influencing the way we think about racial and ethnic groups. Interweaving political, social, economic, and cultural history, as well as the stories of individuals, Chang offers a bracing view not only of what it means to be Chinese American, but also of what it is to be American.
