Chinese Americans have been an integral thread in the tapestry of American history since the California gold rush of 1848-49. The fascinating story of the Chinese in America is also one of the long struggle for civil liberties, an all too familiar refrain to virtually all the ethnic groups who have settled in this country over the centuries, and a particularly relevant concern even today in the midst of a “war on terrorism.”
