Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the 1901 Anti-Chinese convention, a political gathering in San Francisco that pushed for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants. The author analyzes the convention proceedings, highlighting the specious arguments, fabrications, and discriminatory sentiments that fueled the anti-Chinese movement. The author situates the convention within the broader context of Chinese immigration in California, exploring the interplay of economic, social, and political factors that shaped attitudes toward Chinese workers. The book critically examines the claims of the convention's participants, revealing the hypocrisy and self-interest that motivated their exclusionist stance. Through a detailed examination of the convention's rhetoric and the broader historical context, the author uncovers the ways in which racism and economic anxiety were exploited to justify the exclusion of a marginalized community. This book offers valuable insights into the complexities of immigration, labor, and race relations, shedding light on the enduring legacy of exclusionary policies in the United States.
