دانلود کتاب The Anti-Chinese Movement in California

Originally published in 1939, this book was the first objective study of the anti-Chinese movement in the Far West, a subject that is as much a part of the history of California as the mission period or the gold rush. Some historians of the Asian American experience consider it to be, more than half a century later, the most satisfactory work on the subject.
For this reissue, Roger Daniels has updated the bibliography to 1991.
Sandmeyer's study centers around two points: first, that organized labor was always the strongest supporter of the anti-Chinese movement; second, that the major political parties were so closely matched in strength that organized labor held the balance of power. Of particular value is the author's painstaking dissec­tion of the many different types of restrictive action by the state and various municipalities. He provides an excellent picture of the forty-year conflict between this local legislation and the federal laws.
