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.”

Introduction: In the tradition of W. E. B. Du Bois, Cornel West, and other public intellectuals who confronted the “color line” of the twentieth century, journalist, law professor, and activist Frank H. Wu offers a unique perspective on how changing ideas of racial identity will affect race relations in the new century.Often provocative and always thoughtful, this book addresses some of the most controversial contemporary issues: discrimination, immigration, diversity, globalization, and the mixed-race movement, introducing the example of Asian Americans to shed new light on the current debates. Combining personal anecdotes, social-science research, legal cases, history, and original journalistic reporting, Wu discusses damaging Asian American stereotypes such as “the model minority” and “the perpetual foreigner.” By offering new ways of thinking about race in American society, Wu’s work challenges us to make good on our great democratic experiment.
