Chinese American Portraits

"This is an extraordinary book on any level--as a sociological study, as an exposé of violent racism in America, as a chronicle of the immigrant epic, as the inter-relationships of powerful and differing cultures. The downside is shocking. The upside, the courage, determination, skill, and ambition of the Chinese to make their way forward against the most daunting of obstacles, is a monument to their courage and true heart."--Harrison E. Salisbury.
