"Sherri Gerbert Fuller provides us with a rare look at Chinese
immigrant lives and aspirations in Minnesota, proudly reclaiming
their voices as part of our great American heritage. I was
delighted to read this book."--Iris Chang, author of "The Chinese
in America
"
Minnesota's first Chinese settlers, fleeing racial violence in
California, established scores of businesses after they arrived in
the late 1870s. Newspapers eagerly published reports of their
activities, including New Year's festivities, marriages, and
restaurant and laundry openings. Beginning in 1882 federal laws
banning Chinese immigration and denying citizenship put particular
pressure on the community. Sherri Gebert Fuller relates the story
of the Chinese from these early days to the 1960s when a new wave
of immigrants, including students, businessmen, and professionals
from China and Taiwan, began to bring new energy and issues to the
community and a flourishing of ties between Minnesota and China.
