Excerpt from Chinese Immigration, Vol. 2
In the original plan a chapter on the Chinese in other Pacific states was contemplated, but since, up to 1882, over 70 per cent. Of the Chinese were in California, it was thought best for the sake of space to omit it. However, many of the illustrations in the chapters on administration, competition and assimilation, have been drawn from this unused material and it is believed that no factor essential to a just presentation of the subject has been neglected.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the arrival and evolution of Chinese immigrants in the United States, focusing on the 50-year period of free immigration from 1848-1882. The author, Mary Roberts Coolidge, takes a deep dive into the demographics of Chinese immigration, with an emphasis on their reasons for leaving China and their contributions to American society. Coolidge pushes back against traditional assumptions that Chinese immigrants were uniformly poor, uneducated, and criminal, revealing instead that they were often skilled laborers, farmers, and merchants who sought economic opportunity. She explores their role in the California Gold Rush and the development of the American West, and traces the growing anti-immigrant sentiment that culminated in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Chinese immigration, the complexities of race relations in America, and the ongoing debate over immigration policy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
