Songs of Gold Mountain
Marlon Hom has selected and translated 220 rhymes from two collections of Chinatown songs published in 1911 and 1915. The songs are outspoken and personal, addressing subjects as diverse as sex, frustrations with the American bureaucracy, poverty and alienation, and the loose morals of the younger generation of Americans. Hom has arranged the songs thematically and gives an overview of early Chinese American literature.
美國早期漫畫中的華人（第二版）
孕育於十八世紀，發展、成形於十九世紀的美國政治漫畫，是美國報刊雜誌一種非常流行的時事評論形式。而那些飄洋過海，參與美國淘金熱潮的和早期開發的華人，曾是當年漫畫重要的描繪對象。 本書精選一百一十七幅十九世紀中、後期有關美國華人的漫畫，分三輯介紹，形象、生動地展示了當年美國主流社會對華人的態度和看法，尤其是在排華氣氛籠罩下華人的際遇和命運，使我們能從不同層面去了解美國和美國華人的社會歷史。 所選畫作，不少出自名家手筆，足可窺見當時的美國漫畫風格；而編者的文字簡練，資料亦相當豐富，具有很高的參考價值。

They bring to life the...

Assimilating Asians
One of the central tasks of Asian American literature, argues Patricia P. Chu, has been to construct Asian American identities in the face of existing, and often contradictory, ideas about what it means to be an American. Chu examines the model of the Anglo-American bildungsroman and shows how Asian American writers have adapted it to express their troubled and unstable position in the United States.

Together, these sources provide a captivating mosaic of Chinese women's experiences in their own words, as they tell of making a home for themselves and their families in San Francisco from the Gold Rush years through World War II. The personal nature of these documents makes for compelling reading. We hear the voices of prostitutes and domestic slavegirls, immigrant wives of merchants, Christians and pagans, homemakers, and social activ...
