Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This informative book discusses the history, motivations, and treatment of Chinese immigrants in the United States. It traces their arrival in the mid-19th century, primarily from the coastal regions of southern China, to their search for work during the American gold rush. The author explores the distinction between free and contract immigration, dispelling myths about the latter. The book examines the coolie trade, prevalent in other parts of the world but largely absent in the US due to legal and social opposition. It highlights the role of six companies in organizing free immigration from Hong Kong to the United States. The work provides a detailed account of the push and pull factors influencing Chinese immigration, as well as their resilience and contributions to American society.
