How then does one explain the labor and Communist organizations in the Asian immigrant communities that existed from coast to coast between 1919 and 1933? Their organizers and members have been, until now, largely absent from the history of the American Communist movement. In \u003ci\u003eJapanese and Chinese Immigrant Activists, \u003c\/i\u003eJosephine Fowler brings us the first in-depth account of Japanese and Chinese immigrant radicalism inside the United States and across the Pacific. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on multilingual correspondence between left-wing and party members and other primary sources, such as records from branches of the Japanese Workers Association and the Chinese Nationalist Party, Fowler shows how pressures from the Comintern for various sub-groups of the party to unite as an \"American\" working class were met with resistance. The book also challenges longstanding stereotypes about the relationships among the Communist Party in the United States, the Comintern, and the Soviet Party.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josephine Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813540410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813540412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.19w x 0.57d","brand":"Josephine Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086909812991,"sku":"9780813540412","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83d8f747-0666-49dc-8e63-6b20fbf91b1e.jpg?v=1769097270","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/japanese-and-chinese-immigrant-activists-josephine-fowler-9780813540412","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
