Chinese immigrants played a dynamic role in frontier America, yet
scholars of Asian America have focused for the most part only on
the Pacific Coast, especially California. This reader fills that
gap by collecting memoirs, documents, and historical analyses from
the other Western states from the Cascades to the Great Plains to
provide a comprehensive overview of the Chinese in
nineteenth-century America. Selecting among a wealth of primary and
secondary material, Dirlik has chosen works that enlarge our
understanding of the Chinese presence in the West and the
development of Chinese cultural formations on the frontier.
Providing insights not only into frontier society in the United
States, but also into U.S.-Chinese relations of the time, this
volume will be invaluable for all readers interested in China,
Western history, and the history of Asian America."
