• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This fascinating account of Chinatown leaders shows how politics helped establish North America's first major group of illegal immigrants. New Chinese language evidence reveals how ethnic leaders' role as transnational actors and intermediaries both transformed Canadian politics and changed understandings of immigrant communities in a turbulent 20th century.
