Becoming Chinese American discusses the historical and cultural development of Chinese American life in the past century. Representing a singular breadth of knowledge about the Chinese American past, the volume begins with an historical overview of Chinese migration to the United States, followed by critical discussion of the development of key community institutions, Chinese-language schools, newspapers, and politics in early Chinese American life. Rather than emphasize experiences of discrimination, the collection focuses on Chinese American community formation that tested the racially-imposed boundaries on their new lives in the United States. Written by noted Chinese American scholar Him Mark Lai, the essays in this volume will be of interest to scholars of Asian and Asian American studies, as well as American history, ethnicity, and immigration.

This new collection of essays demonstrates how a politics of polarity have defined the 150-year experience of Chinese immigration in America. Chinese-Americans have been courted as 'model workers' by American business, but also continue to be perceived as perpetual foreigners. The contributors offer engrossing accounts of the lives of immigrants, their tenacity, their diverse lifeways, from the arrival of the first Chinese gold miners in 1849 into the present day. The 21st century begins as a uniquely 'Pacific Century' in the Americas, with an increasingly large presence of Asians in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The book will be a valuable resource on the Asian immigrant experience for researchers and students in Chinese American studies, Asian American history, immigration studies, and American history.

For centuries, California's environment has nurtured remarkable people. Ohlone Lope Inigo found a way to protect his family in troubled times on the shores of San Francisco Bay. Pioneer Juana Briones made a fortune from her rancho yet took the time to care for those in need. Innovator Thomas Foon Chew discovered a climate for success, in spite of the obstacles. Around the region that became Silicon Valley, filmmaker Charlie Chaplin found inspiration, poet Robert Louis Stevenson uncovered adventure and Sarah Winchester built a house that would intrigue people long after she was gone. Author Robin Chapman shares fascinating tales of those who exemplify the enterprising spirit of the Golden State.

Written by one of America's preeminent labor historians, this book is the definitive account of one of the most spectacular, captivating, complex and strangely neglected stories in Western history--the emergence of migratory farmworkers and the development of California agriculture. Street has systematically worked his way through a mountain of archival materials--more than 500 manuscript collections, scattered in 22 states, including Spain and Mexico--to follow the farmworker story from its beginnings on Spanish missions into the second decade of the twentieth century. The result is a comprehensive tour de force. Scene by scene, the epic narrative clarifies and breathes new life into a controversial and instructive saga long surrounded by myth, conjecture, and scholarly neglect. With its panoramic view spanning 144 years and moving from the US-Mexico border to Oregon, Beasts of the Field reveals diverse patterns of life and labor in the fields that varied among different crops, regions, time periods, and racial and ethic groups. Enormous in scope, packed with surprising twists and turns, and devastating in impact, this compelling, revelatory work of American social history will inform generations to come of the history of California and the nation.

New Argonauts are defined as American-educated scientists and engineers who have set up technology companies since returning to their home countries such as China, India, Israel and Taiwan (Saxenian, 2006). This thesis has developed Saxenian's New Argonauts to those who have become venture capitalists (VCs) in China. The aims of the thesis are three-fold: (1) to identify the role of New Argonaut VCs in China's venture capital industry; (2) to examine how New Argonauts use their transnational networks in their portfolio investments; and (3) to assess the impact of their investments on China's economic development. Semi-structured interviews with 33 returnee VCs and 3 returnee business angels were collected to address the above first and second research question. Furthermore, four case studies (two cases were sourced from the semi-structured interviews and two from the secondary data) were employed to address the second and third research question. The use of four cases allows for answering them in much more depth and in greater detail. And as a result, to obtain an insight into the venture capital process used by these New Argonaut VCs and their significant contributions to the effective venture capital industry in China. The findings of case studies further corroborate the proposed relationships tested by 36 in-depth interviews. Transnational networks between New Argonaut investors and the American VC industry and business communities play a vital role, enabling New Argonaut investors to raise funds from the American market successfully, to evaluate the state-of-the-art knowledge of technology, to have co-investment opportunities with foreign VC firms who are unfamiliar with the Chinese market, to create relationships between their portfolio firms and overseas customers, suppliers and strategic partners, and to help their portfolio firms to exit successfully especially in the U.S. equity market. New Argonaut VCs therefore facilitate the rapid economic development in China.
