01 Mar / Longtime Californ’: A Documentary Study of an American Chinatown by Victor Nee and Brett de Bary Nee [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
An Asian American historical classic, focusing on the Chinese in America – from the first Gold Mountain settlers to contemporary activists and shop owners – told through both personal narratives and extensive interviews, using the backdrop of San Francisco’s Chinatown.
One of the first works to deal exclusively, and extensively, with the history of Chinese Americans in the U.S., a group long denied a voice especially in Eurocentric textbooks and history lessons.
