"Skillfully selected, translated, and annotated, this compelling
compendium of voices bear witness to the diversity and depth of the
Chinese American experience and, significantly, its indispensable
centrality to American life and history."--Gary Y. Okihiro, author
of "Common Ground: Reimagining American History
"Here at last is a wide-ranging record of Chinese American
experiences from the viewpoints of the players. "Chinese American
Voices is an impressive feat of scholarship, an indispensable
reference, and a compelling read."--Ruthanne Lum McCunn, author of
"Thousand Pieces of Gold and The Moon Pearl
"This anthology offers a virtual "Gam Saan" (Gold Mountain) of
original sources. The stories burst with telling and re-affirm a
vision of men and women as actors in history, who made themselves
as Chinese Americans as they helped to make America
itself."--Ronald Takaki, author of "Strangers from a Different
Shore: A History of Asian Americans
"This volume of sixty-two annotated documents, many translated from
Chinese for the first time, is a boon to faculty and students
interested in Chinese American history, Asian American history,
U.S. immigration history, and race and ethnic relations. The life
stories, in particular, are appealing for students, the reading
public, and scholars alike as they hear the voices of individuals
long misunderstood, denigrated, and silenced. All of us owe a debt
of gratitude to the three editors for their dedicated labor of
love."--Sucheng Chan, author of "Chinese American Transnationalism:
The Flow of People, Resources, and Ideas between China and America
during the Exclusion Era
"This is a superb collection."--Roger Daniels, author of
"Guardingthe Golden Door: American Immigration Policy and
Immigrants since 1882
