一部开创性的、激动人心的中国工人修建横贯大陆铁路的历史,华工帮助打造了现代美国,但直到现在才从历史的阴影中现身。 成千上万的华工从大洋彼岸来到美国寻找他们的财富。他们聚集在横贯大陆铁路的西部工地上,花了数年时间在内华达山脉积雪的悬崖上炸开隧道,在炽热的犹他州沙漠上铺设铁轨。他们的汗水和鲜血将美国的东西部连接起来。但是,那些在这些危险的工作中幸存下来的人将遭受另一种死亡:一种历史性的死亡,他们首先被推到美国社会的边缘,然后又被推到公众记忆的边缘。 在这部开创性的作品中,获奖学者张少书利用前所未有的研究来重现中国铁路工人的故事,肯定他们在重建美国中发挥的作用。本书是对历史不公的一次宝贵纠正,将这些“沉默的钢钉”重新放回他们在美国奇迹中应有的位置。
