DRIVEN OUT: The Forgotten War Against Chinese Americans
By Jean Pfaelzer Professor of English University of Delaware
“Jean Pfaelzer has pulled back the veil on one of the most horrendous, frightening, violent, and little known moments in American history, when the Chinese were driven from their homes and businesses in an effort to expel them from communities, states, and ultimately the country. This is the most comprehensive history of this period I have ever read, and Pfaelzer has written it with sensitivity and a keen eye for the horrifying, heartbreaking, and often and triumphant details. Driven Out: The Forgotten Against Chinese Americans couldn't be more timely or important.”
