Introduction: This book includes the research work on Chinese immigration and the Chinese American community. The author, Min Zhou, has painstakingly researched aspects of the expereince of Chinese immigrants and more broadly, Asian immigrants, in America, placing her results within a theoretical framework. She has advanced both our factual knowledge of Asian-origin groups in America and general scientific knowledge about the process of immigrant adaptation and incorporation into the developed world. This piece of work involves the theories of ethnic enclaves, segmented assimilation, and transnationalism, advancing novel ideas and empirical results. Overall, this book presents a comprehensive collection of major articles on the determinants and consequences of contemporary Chinese immigration to America. It is required reading for specialists in immigration and ethnicity – and of interest and value for the general public as well.

Introduction : This book is a highly original study of transnationalism among immigrants from Taishan, a populous coastal country in south China from which, until 1965, the majority of Chinese in the United States originated. Drawing creatively on Chinese-language sources such as gazetteers, newspapers, and magazine, supplemented by field-work and interviews as well as recent scholarship in Chinese social history, the author presents a much richer depiction than we have had heretofore of the continuing ties between Taishanese remaining in China and their kinsmen seeking their fortune in “Gold Mountain”. This is an outstanding book, an example for how to do a transnational study that captures the often globe-spanning histories of migrants out of Asia.

Introduction：In a thoughtful and stimulating contribution to the current debate about the meaning to the large society of multiculturalism, Gary Okihiro explores the significance of Asian Americans in American history and culture. In six provocative and engaging essays he examines the Asian American experience from the perspectives of historical consciousness, race, gender, class, and culture.

While exploring anew the meanings of Asian American social history, the book argues that the core values and ideals of the nation emanate today not from the so-called mainstream but from the margins,from among Asian and African Americans, Latinos and American Indians, and women. Those groups, in their struggles for equality, have helped to preserve and advance the founders’ ideals and have made America a more democratic place for all.

Introduction: There exist lots of books studying on the history of Chinese Americans, but not many focusing on Chinese Female immigration, and only a few of them tell the stories using the voices of the women themselves.  In this book, George Anthony Peffer discusses Chinese American women’s lives in the pre-exclusion era(about 1875-1882) with abundant first hand and second hand materials mainly from documents, newspapers and surveys.   He investigates how federal laws and political forces influences Chinese women immigration in the United States.  Although the emphasis is on the pre-exclusion era, which is the period of female exclusion, following with the period of general exclusion of Chinese, Peffer tries to give a complete and true picture of the history of Chinese women in the U.S. .  As Sue Fawn Chung says, “Peffer successfully challenges stereotypes that have been the foundation of Chinese American studies.”
