Reviews
"The violent, terrible history of Chinese exclusion and xenophobia is told with feeling and expansive research. Michael Luo's excellent recovery of this vital story is critical in this difficult time." -- Gordon H. Chang, Professor, Department of History and Olive H. Palmer Professor in Humanities, Stanford University, and author of Ghosts of Gold Mountain: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad "Michael Luo's new history of the Chinese in the U.S. is a book for our time, when anti-Chinese sentiment has again gripped American politics. In Luo's masterful account, Chinese emigrants' and Chinese Americans' stories and voices are front and center. They encountered and resisted racist harassment, violence, and laws from the California gold rush to today's new gilded age. Shaping Chinese American communities and America at large, it is a story told with sensitivity and renewed urgency." --Mae M. Ngai, Lung Family Professor of Asian American Studies and Professor of History, Columbia University, and author of The Chinese Question: The Gold Rushes and Global Politics, "This book is an astonishing feat of urgent history. Michael Luo has unearthed a buried chapter of America's rise, in which Chinese immigrants fought their way through violence and scapegoating to build the nation's future. But he illuminates much more than the past; Strangers in the Land reimagines how the idea of Asia reverberates in American culture today, pulled between belonging, rejection, success, and suspicion. A powerful new entry in the canon on American identity." --Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China , winner of the National Book Award " Strangers in the Land is what history should be--richly detailed, authoritative, and compelling. Luo pieces together the stunning and shocking story of a people's journey to this country, and in the process reveals an essential part of the story of America." -- David Grann, New York Times- bestselling author of The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon "This is not the story of a people being hated. This is the moving story of a people's persistence and resistance -- how individuals, families, and changing communities looked hard at rejection, endured violence, consumed daily bitterness, and yet sought the higher purposes of humanity and better lives. With profound feeling, clear narrative, and unyielding hope for a greater understanding, Michael Luo has written a definitive biography of the first Asians in America. Luo's book serves as a witness of how powerful the love and aspirations of immigrants make real the most beautiful promises of a new homeland." -- Min Jin Lee, author of Free Food for Millionaires and Pachinko "Impressively researched and beautifully told, Strangers in the Land offers a new and much-needed history of a people and community that have always been central to the American story." -- Erika Lee, Bae Family Professor of History, Harvard University, and author of The Making of Asian America: A History "The violent, terrible history of Chinese exclusion and xenophobia is told with feeling and expansive research. Michael Luo's excellent recovery of this vital story is critical in this difficult time." -- Gordon H. Chang, Professor, Department of History and Olive H. Palmer Professor in Humanities, Stanford University, and author of Ghosts of Gold Mountain: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad "Michael Luo's new history of the Chinese in the U.S. is a book for our time, when anti-Chinese sentiment has again gripped American politics.

Synopsis
From New Yorker writer Michael Luo comes a masterful narrative history of the Chinese in America that traces the sorrowful theme of exclusion and documents their more than century-long struggle to belong. A TIME MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK A NEW YORK TIMES NONFICTION BOOK TO READ THIS SPRING "A story about aspiration and belonging that is as universal as it is profound."--Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Say Nothing "A gift to anyone interested in American history. I couldn't stop turning pages."--Charles Yu, author of Interior Chinatown "What history should be--richly detailed, authoritative, and compelling."--David Grann, author of The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon Strangers in the Land tells the story of a people who, beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, migrated by the tens of thousands to a distant land they called Gum Shan­ --Gold Mountain. Americans initially welcomed these Chinese arrivals, but, as their numbers grew, horrific episodes of racial terror erupted on the Pacific coast. A prolonged economic downturn that idled legions of white workingmen helped create the conditions for what came next: a series of progressively more onerous federal laws aimed at excluding Chinese laborers from the country, marking the first time the United States barred a people based on their race. In a captivating debut, Michael Luo follows the Chinese from these early years to modern times, as they persisted in the face of bigotry and persecution, revealing anew the complications of our multiracial democracy. Luo writes of early victims of anti-Asian violence, like Gene Tong, a Los Angeles herbalist who was dragged from his apartment and hanged by a mob during one of the worst mass lynchings in the country's history; of demagogues like Denis Kearney, a sandlot orator who became the face of the anti-Chinese movement in the late-1870s; of the pioneering activist Wong Chin Foo and other leaders of the Chinese community, who pressed their new homeland to live up to its stated ideals. At the book's heart is a shameful chapter of American history: the brutal driving out of Chinese residents from towns across the American West. The Chinese became the country's first undocumented immigrants: hounded, counted, suspected, surveilled. In 1889, while upholding Chinese exclusion, Supreme Court Justice Stephen J. Field characterized them as "strangers in the land." Only in 1965 did America's gates swing open to people like Luo's parents, immigrants from Taiwan. Today there are more than twenty-two million people of Asian descent in the United States and yet the "stranger" label, Luo writes, remains. Drawing on archives from across the country and written with a New Yorker writer's style and sweep, Strangers in the Land is revelatory and unforgettable, an essential American story.
