Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Denver in the Gilded Age may have been an economic boomtown, but it was also a powder keg waiting to explode. When that inevitable eruption occurredin the Anti-Chinese Riot of 1880it was sparked by white resentment at the growing encroachment of Chinese immigrants who had crossed the Pacific Ocean and journeyed overland in response to an expanding labour market. Liping Zhus book provides the first detailed account of this momentous conflagration and carefully delineates the story of how anti-Chinese nativism in the nineteenth century grew from a regional political concern to a full-fledged national issue. Zhu tells a complex tale about race, class, and politics. He reconstructs the drama of the riotwith Denvers Rocky Mountain News fanning the flames by labelling the Chinese the pest of the Pacificand relates how white mobs ransacked Chinatown while other citizens took pains to protect their Asian neighbours. Occurring two days before the national election, it had a decisive impact on sectional political alignments that would undercut the nations promise of equal rights for all peoples made after the Civil War and would have repercussions lasting well into the next century.By examining the relationship between the anti-Chinese movement and the rise of the West, this work sheds new light on our understanding of racial politics and sectionalism in the post-Reconstruction era. As the Wests newfound political muscle threatened Republican hegemony in national politics, many Republican legislators compromised their commitment to equal rights and unfettered immigration by joining Democrats to pass the noxious 1882 Chinese Exclusion Actwhich was not repealed until 1943 and only earned congressional apologies in 2011 and 2012. The Denver Anti-Chinese Riot strikes at the core of the national debate over race and region in the late nineteenth century as it demonstrates a correlation between the national retreat from the campaign for racial equality and the rise of the American West to national political prominence. Thanks to Zhus powerful narrative, this once overlooked event now has a place in the saga of American historyand serves as a potent reminder that in the real world of bare-knuckle politics, competing for votes often trumps fidelity to principle. This first detailed account of the Denver Anti-Chinese Riot of 1880 tells the complex story of how anti-Chinese nativism in the nineteenth century grew from a regional political issue to a full-fledged national concern. Provides a new way of understanding late nineteenth-century race relations, as well as American sectionalism.
