Fifteen years in the making, Chinese American Voices is a diverse and illuminating collection of primary documents and stories by Chinese Americans from their arrival during the California gold rush to the present. Many of the letters, speeches, testimonies, oral histories, personal memoirs, poems, essays, and folksongs have never been published before or have been translated into English for the first time. They bring to life the diverse voices of immigrants and the American-born; laborers, merchants, and professionals; ministers and students; housewives and prostitutes; and community leaders and activists. Chinese American Voices is published by the University of California Press ( www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/10306.html).
