Opis

Founded during the Gold Rush years, San Francisco's Chinatown became the largest and most vibrant Chinese community in America, and helped shape white America's view of Asians in general. For those Chinese travelling between the Old World and the New, San Francisco was a port of entry and departure. Many Chinese settled there, forming one of the oldest continuing ethnic communities in urban America. This is a detailed social and cultural history of the Chinese in San Francisco, relating the development of social and cultural institutions, from brothels to the powerful "Six Companies". The book aims to recapture not only the community's collective mentalities but also the lives of ordinary people - labourers, theatre-goers, gamblers, and prostitutes. In so doing, the author brings to life individual personalities with their varying human qualities.
