Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR NONFICTION From New Yorker writer Michael Luo comes a masterful narrative history of the Chinese in America that traces the sorrowful theme of exclusion and documents their more than century-long struggle to belong. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORKER, THE WASHINGTON POST, TIME, BOSTON GLOBE, BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK, KIRKUS REVIEWS, LIBRARY JOURNAL, CHINA BOOKS REVIEW "A story about aspiration and belonging that is as universal as it is profound.Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Say Nothing "A gift to anyone interested in American history. I couldn't stop turning pages."Charles Yu, author of Interior ChinatownIn Strangers in the Land, award-winning journalist Michael Luo tells the story of a people who, beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, migrated by the tens of thousands to a distant land they called Gum ShanGold Mountain. Americans initially welcomed these Chinese arrivals, but, as their numbers grew, horrific episodes of racial terror erupted on the Pacific coast. Federal lawmakers enacted legislation aimed at excluding Chinese laborers from the country, the first time the United States barred a people based on their race. The Chinese became the countrys earliest undocumented immigrants: hounded, counted, suspected, surveilled.In 1889, while upholding Chinese exclusion, Supreme Court Justice Stephen J. Field characterized them as strangers in the land. Only in 1965 did Americas gates swing open to people like Luos parents, immigrants from Taiwan. Today there are more than twenty-two million people of Asian descent in the United States and yet the stranger label, Luo writes, remains. Drawing on archives from across the country and written with style and sweep, Strangers in the Land is a revelatory and unforgettable American story.
