This unprecedented pictorial history book presents the vibrant and diverse contribution of the 150 years of Chinese Americans in Los Angeles. The author worked with researchers and historians to document this remarkable history and to trace close to 200 vintage photographs, drawings and paintings depicting the struggle of making America their home. This special chronicle features a bilingual (English and Chinese) summarization of each major period of the Chinese-American experience.
Chinese Americans are the only ethnic group in the U.S. to have ever been barred from entering the country by an onerous federal immigration law lasting 61 years. They found themselves in a land where they were being denied the most basic privileges, including the right to own property, to testify in court against Caucasians and to become citizens. The gradual attainment of civil rights took nearly a century.
Today, we find many Chinese Americans indistinguishable from other Americans having attained great success. But many have retained aspects of their ethnic identities and new immigrants are entering society with different cultural perspectives. They continue to make significant contributions to numerous areas of life from science and technology, to business, to the arts and politics. This spectacular book is a keepsake for every family which will be cherished for years to come.
