Exclusion and the Chinese American Story

Exclusion and the Chinese American Story tells the true history of Chinese immigration to America, which most readers only know through the story of railroad workers in the 1800s — revealing a much longer history that some scholars trace back over a thousand years before Columbus, and the systematic efforts to ban Chinese immigrants that began as soon as their numbers grew. Sarah-SoonLing Blackburn traces this history from the gold rush and railroads through entrepreneurs, animators, and movie stars who built thriving Chinese American communities despite discrimination. This is a valuable choice for students because it fills a significant gap in how American history is typically taught, centering Chinese American voices and resilience in the face of exclusion.
