Excellent History

Sucheng Chan has written an excellent history of the contribution of Chinese agriculturists to the development of the American West. By interweaving the unusual with the mundane she has produced a text that relates statistically derived data to important generalizations regarding the interdependency of ethnic groups, labor specializations, and regions. Highly recommended to the historian or anthropologist interested in labor specialization and ethnic adaptation in the 19th and 20th centuries. This book is available in paper as well as hardback.
