Bøger af Peter Kwong

Now back in print, the groundbreaking history of the rise and fall of labor movements in New York's Chinatown, updated with a new introduction and epilogue.

"A gripping expose" (Publishers Weekly) of the conditions faced by Chinese illegal aliens in the United States.

Newspapers today are filled with stories of corruption and strife in America's Chinatowns, reversing the popular view of Chinese Americans as a model minority of law-abiding, hard-working people whose diligent children end up in high-tech jobs. In The New Chinatown, Peter Kwong goes beyond the headlines in a compelling and detailed account of the political and cultural isolation of Chinese-American communities. This new edition offers a revised and updated text as well as a new chapter on Chinatown in the 1990s.

A definitive portrait of one of the oldest immigrant groups and fastest-growing communities in the United States.
