America’s Lost Chinese: The Rise and Fall of a Migrant Family Dream
Hong Kong University Press
The book tells the story of Chinese immigrants rejected by the U.S. who build new communities in Mexico, and their stories are inspiring and memorable. Huang's great-grandfathers fled poverty from Guangdong to California as a young man, and were ostracized by the United States a decade later, helping to establish a Chinese settlement on the Mexican border. This Chinese settlement suffered a tragic demise during the Mexican Revolution, leading to the largest Chinese massacre and deportation in American history. This epic 100-year plot is told through the lives of the author's ancestors. It's a story of exile, resilience, and a new sense of belonging.
