Synopsis
Excerpt from A Statement for Non-Exclusion
The chapters that are devoted to the recital of outrages that were perpetrated upon our helpless yellow brethren during the early history of the State of California show a disgraceful condition of civilization, which, we pray, is haply passing away. The reader will find here a sketch of the present Anti Asiatic exclusion crusade from its embryonic state, through its complete growth and development. It will be seen how we, the favored residents of this Pacific Coast, manufacture grievances to order; and how successful we have been hereto fore in making the rest of our countrymen believe that we were suffering from the invasion of an insidious foe, which was constantly forcing his services upon us in spite of our most determined efforts to discourage him. No attempt is made to reply to the various specific charges that have been filed against the Chinese. The time was too short; and the statements made by the present day exclusionists are so un reasonable, so ill-digested and so contradictory, that they usually are answered by each other or are unworthy of serious consideration.
The charges of immorality and non-assimilation which are constantly urged against the Asiatic have not been discussed here, for the reason that most of those who are loudest in making such charges are the very people who have no morals to boast of and who are doing all in their power to hinder the assimilation which they allege to be impossible.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical relationship between China and the United States, examining the complex social and economic factors that have shaped Chinese immigration to California. It begins by tracing the early trading history of the two nations and continues through the anti-Chinese sentiment and exclusion acts of the late 19th century, highlighting the hypocrisy and economic fallacies that fueled these policies. The book also explores the contributions of Chinese immigrants to California's development, particularly in the mining and manufacturing industries, and argues that their labor was essential to the state's early economy. Through a careful analysis of historical documents, the author demonstrates how the exclusion of Chinese immigrants was driven by fear and prejudice, rather than any legitimate economic concerns. This timely book sheds light on a significant chapter in American history and its relevance to contemporary immigration debates. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
