In an epic story that spans 150 years and continues to the present day, Iris Chang tells of a people’s search for a better life—the determination of the Chinese to forge an identity and a destiny in a strange land and, often against great obstacles, to find success. She chronicles the many accomplishments in America of Chinese immigrants and their descendents: building the infrastructure of their adopted country, fighting racist and exclusionary laws, walking the racial tightrope between black and white, contributing to major scientific and technological advances, expanding the literary canon, and influencing the way we think about racial and ethnic groups. Interweaving political, social, economic, and cultural history, as well as the stories of individuals, Chang offers a bracing view not only of what it means to be Chinese American, but also of what it is to be American.

评分大量数据、史料构架出的一本书~能把中国人踏上美洲大陆至今逾百年的辛酸、辉煌历史浓缩展现给读者，既没有忽略，又不显繁复，Iris Chang把自己的文、理教育背景及写作能力发挥到了极致。敬佩这样的作家，理解她生命最后阶段内心煎熬的原因了。 极力将此书推荐给犹豫是否出国，尤其是米国的朋友们！

评分来美国看的第一本英文书。很多感同身受。第一代移民的路真不好走，想留或想走的人都能在里面找到理由。
