The Chinese in America: A Narrative History

by Iris Chang

《美国华人史:19世纪至21世纪初 150年华人史诗》

张纯如 著


在这个跨越150年并延续至今的史诗故事中,张纯如讲述了一个民族对更美好生活的追求——华人在一片陌生土地上面对巨大歧视而塑造身份和命运的决心,并克服重重困难,最终获得成功。她记录了华人移民及其后裔在美国取得的诸多成就:建设他们所接受国家的基础设施,反对种族主义和排斥性法律,在黑人和白人之间游走,为重大的科学和技术进步做出贡献,撰写文学典籍,以及影响我们对种族和民族群体的看法。

In an epic story that spans150years and continues to the present day, Iris 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 and, often against great obstacles, to find success. She chronicles the many accomplishments in America of Chinese immigrants and their descendents: building the infrastructure of their adopted country, fighting racist and exclusionary laws, walking the racial tightrope between black and white, contributing to major scientific and technological advances, expanding the literary canon, and influencing the way we think about racial and ethnic groups. Interweaving political, social, economic, and cultural history, as well as the stories of individuals, Chang offers a bracing view not only of what it means to be Chinese American, but also of what it is to be American.
