Providing the most comprehensive examination to date of Asians in
the Centennial State, William Wei addresses a wide range of
experiences, from anti-Chinese riots in late nineteenth-century
Denver to the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans at
the Amache concentration camp to the more recent influx of
Southeast Asian refugees and South Asian tech professionals.
Drawing on a wealth of historical sources, Wei reconstructs what
life was like for the early Chinese and Japanese pioneers, and he
pays special attention to the different challenges faced by those
in urban versus rural areas. The result is a groundbreaking
approach that helps us better understand how Asians survived—and
thrived—in an often hostile environment. Offering a fresh
perspective on how cycles of persecution are repeated, Wei reveals
how the treatment of Asian Americans resonates with the experiences
of other marginalized groups in American society. His study sheds
light not only on the Asian American experience but also on the
development of Colorado and the greater American West.
