In the first decades of the 20th century, almost half of the
Chinese Americans born in the United States moved to China-a
relocation they assumed would be permanent. At a time when people
from around the world flocked to the United States, this
little-noticed emigration belied America's image as a magnet for
immigrants and a land of upward mobility for all. Fleeing racism,
Chinese Americans who sought greater opportunities saw China, a
tottering empire and then a struggling republic, as their promised
land. American Exodus is the first book to explore this
extraordinary migration of Chinese Americans. Their exodus shaped
Sino-American relations, the development of key economic sectors in
China, the character of social life in its coastal cities, debates
about the meaning of culture and "modernity" there, and the U.S.
government's approach to citizenship and expatriation in the
interwar years. Spanning multiple fields, exploring numerous
cities, and crisscrossing the Pacific Ocean, this book will appeal
to anyone interested in Chinese history, international relations,
immigration history, and Asian American studies.
