  • Bestselling author Iris Chang takes on her largest subject yet in The Chinese in America,the extraor-dinary history of one the fastet-growing ethnic groups in the United States.In an epic story that spans150 years and continues to the present day,Chang tells of a people's search for a better life-the determination of the Chinese to forge an identity and a destiny in a strange land,to help build their adopted country,and,often against great obstacles,to find success.
      
      
      In the course of her narrative,Chang chronicles the many accomplishments in America of Chinese immigrants and their descendants:building the transcontinental railroad,working on southern plantations after the Civil War,fighting racist and exclusionary laws,walking the racial tighrope between black and white,contributiing to major scientific and technological advances,expanding the lit-erary canon,and influencing the way we think about racial and ethnic groups.At the heart of her book are the stories of individuals-the activists,workers,entrepreneurs,politicians,scientists,writers,and families whose lives,struggles,and victories have shaped and been shaped by this history.
      
       Interweaving political,social,economic,and cultural history in an engrossing and passionately told account,Iris Chang offesrs a fresh view not only of what it means to be Chinese American,but of what it is to be American.
