Strangers In The Land by Michael Luo
Strangers in the Land follows Chinese migrants who came to “Gold Mountain” in the mid-19th century, the violent backlash and exclusionary laws they encountered on the American West Coast, and the community leaders who resisted. It recounts episodes of racial terror, legal exclusion, and forced expulsions, and traces the long arc to mid-20th-century immigration changes and the persistent legacy of being treated as “strangers” in the United States.
