Opis

Some half million Chinese immigrants settled in the American West in the nineteenth century. In spite of their vital contributions to the economy, the Chinese were targets of systematic political discrimination and widespread violence. This legal history of the Chinese experience in the American West serves as a basic account of the legal treatment of Chinese immigrants in the West.
