Through extensive use of historic images and documents in both English and Chinese, this book offers new insights into potentially controversial topics such as opium use, secret societies, Chinese women's rights, and interethnic relations, as well as economic life, community structures, and the private lives of Chinese American citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile this book does not shy away from addressing the vile anti-Chinese laws, racist attitudes, and horrifying violence experienced by many immigrants, it avoids adding another victim narrative to the Chinese American story. Instead, \u003ci\u003eComing Home in Gold Brocade\u003c\/i\u003e presents the early generations of Chinese immigrants as people to be admired for the strength, courage, and intelligence they showed in adapting to a rich but often hostile foreign land. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chuimei Ho, Bennet Bronson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505228026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505228021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Chuimei Ho","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047089500415,"sku":"9781505228021","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c014f07-c4de-4d64-9d8d-f40c1616677d.jpg?v=1684988194","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/coming-home-in-gold-brocade-chuimei-ho-9781505228021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
