介绍：中国人移民加拿大至今已经历一个半世纪。尽管时间不长，但在该国政府实行的种族歧视政策影响下，同样饱受沧桑和磨难。第二次世界大战后，加拿大政府改变政策以来，华侨华人的处境才逐渐有所好转。本书记录了中国人移民的历史以及当前各方面的状况。1909年以前，中国政府虽然没有制定国籍法，实际上仍将居住在国外的中国移民当作中国公民。这些中国移民也把自己看成中国人，即使已加入当地国籍，也依然自称为中国人或唐人。

Introduction：” We were as American as can be”, states Jadin Wong in recalling the days when she used to dance at a San Francisco nightclub during the 1940s. Wong belonged to an all-Chinese chorus line at a time when all East Asians were called ” Orientals”. In this context, then, what did it mean for Wong, an American-born Chinese, to say that she thought of herself as an “American’? Of Orphans and Warriors explores the social and cultural history of largely urban. American-born Chinese from the 1930s through the 1990s, focusing primarily on those living in California. Chun thus open a window onto the ways in which these Americans born of Chinese ancestry negotiated their identity over a half century.

Introduction：The definitive portrait of the experience in the United State. Chinese America charts 150 years of American history from the Chinese frontiersmen of the Wild West to the high-teach transnationals of today. In this magisterial, panoramic narrative, based on years of research and reporting across the United states and Asia, Kwong and Miscevic take us inside nineteenth-century mining camps, Chinese American night clubs of the 1930s and 1940s, and today’s booming “ethnoburbs”, among other places. Hailed by Margaret Fung, the executive director of the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, as “quite simply, the best book about the history of exclusion and injustice against Chinese immigrants and the role of Chinese Americans today”, Chinese America is a fascinating and entirely original examination of an immigrant story too often rendered as a simple tale of triumph over adversity.

Introduction：”Chinatown was the only constant in my life,it seemed, the only spot to which I could always return to familiar surroundings and see the thumbprints of generations that had died before living memory. The crowded, tiny streets, the restaurants we held our semi-annual banquets in, even the ducks hanging in the dusty window of the old grocery store on the corner seemed eternal, although I knew perfectly well that those ducks were freshly killed everyday. It was a place with tradition, with customs, with old people who knew my father and would call him by baby names I never heard anywhere else. It was a place that America hadn’t homogenized out of existence,and there one could smell the village where the Ancestors had lived for perhaps a thousand years before. This is the history of that foreign universe called Chinatown, New York, with my Ancestors providing the string with which to tie together the loose beads of the past. The Chinese side of my family has experienced almost every phase of development of life in Chinatown, from early settlement, to racial apartheid, to Tong Wars, to all- American domesticity. All along the way were generous doses of magic, and poetry, and the exquisite, mystical beauty which was never to be found in the bland, white-bread towns of my youth.”
