Chinese immigrants were one of the earliest groups to arrive in America. But unlike many of the immigrants from Europe arriving at the same time; these early immigrants often found themselves ostracized by exclusion laws and never expected to overcome cultural barriers. Chinese Americans: The Immigrant Experience takes a hard look at the unique and painful experiences of Chinese immigrants trying to make America their home; and explores the various ways Chinese Americans have negotiated between assimilating and maintaining ethnic identity. Carefully selected photographs add perspective and insight to the text.

The best ones discuss the substantial opposition to the Civil War in North Georgia and the class conflicts that existed throughout the the state and the South.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An important view of the Civil War in GA!By CBPSo many things I didn't know about the Civil War about this book explains. The County I live in now was divided about the secession and I'm still interested in learning more about these early pioneers who managed to survive a horrible calamity. That any of them returned home to live into their old age is a miracle!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book; good price.By Denise HarmanI got this book expecting to just do a little bit of vague pinpointing of family history research; and instead I found a book full of interesting and transporting stories about Georgia and its vast history in the Civil War. History is so much more interesting the older you get!
