First edition. First edition 8vo. Black cloth, titles stamped in pink on the front cover and spine, [10], 322 pp. Uncommon biography and autobiography combined, as the author tells of his father's life in and around San Francisco's Chinatown through the early twentieth century. "Here is a mellow, soft, effervescent picture of a benevolent Chinese merchant, adored and feared by his family, respected and admired by Occidental and Chinese businessmen, at once wisely humorous and sternly practical, seen through the clinical eyes of his eldest son, Glorious Descendant, whose Christian name is Pardee Lowe. It is also a picture of America as it appears to a young Chinese gentleman whose sense of values has been tempered and fire-hardened in the mill of racial prejudice."--- from the jacket. Zamorano Select 69 says "The importance of this work should not be underestimated. It was the first book to express the desire of a second-generation Chinese to fight exclusion and become a part of mainstream America. As such, it is a worthy precursor of many later works dealing with immigration and assimilation." A fine bright copy in price-clipped dust jacket lightly sunned on the spine, with small chips to the spine ends, and light wear to the corners and extremities. Seller Inventory # 52280
