This book is about gender and gendered relations in Cantonese society, set within the transnational/diasporic framework of later Nineteenth and early Twentieth-Century China and America. Part I is about Cantonese womenfolk, as viewed within the context of female institutionalized bondage with socially imposed disabilities, of which there were two kinds: 1) dejure or sanctioned bondage, involving Courtesans, prostitutes, slave girls, and mooi-jai (young female indentured domestic servants); and 2) defacto or disguised bondage, which included, wives, concubines, and daughters. Part II discusses Cantonese menfolk, relative to prevailing ideas about what constituted Chinese ideals of masculinity and how these notions impacted various forms and avenues of homosocial engagement, some of which embodied some homosexual identifications, with different degrees of performance, and relationships. This book is the result of forty-five years of research and writing. It is the second of several volumes of a new series, entitled The Gum-Shaan Chronicles: The Early History of Cantonese-Chinese America, 1850-1900. About the Author Douglas W. Lee is a second-generation Cantonese-Chinese American, trained as a historian of Modern China, with a special research interest in early Chinese American History. He earned a BA at Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon (1967); an MA at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1969); a PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara (1979); and JD from Lewis and Clark Law School, Portland, Oregon (1988). In 1979-1980, Lee was the cofounder and first national President of the National Association for Asian American Studies. In 1981, he was cofounder of the Chinese Historical Society of the Pacific Northwest, and the first editor of its journal, The Annals of the Chinese Historical Society of the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Washington).

In a nation built by immigrants and bedeviled by the history and legacy of slavery and discrimination, issues of liberty, equality, and community continue to challenge Americans. In the fifth edition of this widely acclaimed text, Paula McClain and Joseph Stewart combine traditional elements of political science analysis - history, Constitutional theory, institutions, political behavior, and policy actors - with a fully updated survey of the political status of four major groups; blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, and American Indians. McClain and Stewart show similarities and differences in these groups' political action and experience, and point the way toward coalition, competition, and consensus building in the face of ongoing conflict. Two dilemmas shape the book; How do we as a nation reconcile a commitment to equality with persistent inequality and discrimination? And what can we do about it - from the perspective of ethnic and racial minorities as well as within the dominant culture? Thoroughly updated following the historic 2008 presidential election, this new edition provides a concise overview of minority politics in America.

There are many books for learning Chinese. There are books that can teach you survival phrases or the first 300 characters, but I have yet to come across a book that teaches you everything you need to know to master the language through self-study. I know this because I bought so many Chinese learning books years ago, and while some were a bit helpful for starting out, none of them taught me step by step what I needed to do to truly master the language. The HSK books by the Confucius Institute are phenomonal and I am a big fan of them, but even they do not tell you HOW to study...Many expats living here in China for more than ten years are still struggling to get by with their beginner Chinese. Quite a few have gotten slightly beyond the beginner level but unfortunately are just stuck in a state of complacency because they believe that they do not have the time or energy to take Chinese seriously. They seem to be willing to spend the rest of their time here with just whatever they have picked up along time way. Expats from both of these groups often become extremely sensitive when the topic of Mandarin is brought up, because almost all of them secretly wish they had taken their studies more seriously and are thinking about getting back on the horse and learning for real this time. If this describes you, then congratulations, because this book will help you tremendously and save you so much time and energy! I have strived and learned so much in such a short period of time; however, I must admit there are some truly remarkable expats that I have come across who have lived here for many years and have a much better handle on Chinese than I do. They are some of the most awe-inspiring people I have ever met! I am not the expat with the best Chinese in all of China, heck I'm not even in the top ten in Sichuan Province... but I did go from zero to fluency in an incredibly short period of time, and I want to save you a ton of frustration and time as I share my secrets with you.***Testimonials***"Lawrence has developed a clear road map of how to go about learning Chinese, which he created out of his desire to simplify the process for himself and others. It will save you a lot of time and make the process much easier. He is very motivational, and his enthusiasm will rub off on you! Highly recommended!" - Justin D. (expat, writer, and researcher) "Lawrence是一个目标感很强的人，他不达目标绝不放弃。"锲而不舍,金石可镂"，正是因为他的坚持不懈，才有了他今天所取得的巨大进步。他可用汉语就广泛领域的话题进行谈论、演讲，欣赏汉语影视节目，阅读汉语书籍等。相信书中很多方法也可以帮助你更高效地学好汉语，或者任何一门语言." --安君香（汉语老师）(Chinese teacher) "I have witnessed the author's grasp of Mandarin in person so I am eager and excited to get my hands on his book. I have been looking for a guide to help me improve my Mandarin and in the quickest way possible. Lawrence was able to become fluent in just a couple years so I am looking forward to reading his insight." - Nathan G. (expat & science professor) "本书旨在帮助外国人学习汉语，作者的亲身经历可以给你提供很多指导，帮助你避免一些在学习汉语旅途中的坑。作者是一个充满激情的工作者以及学者，也是我们双语播客《Langmonde假老外告诉你》的明星主播。夏天的书语言条理清晰，幽默风趣，推荐此书！" --吴俊宏（Andy - Founder of Langmonde bilingual podcasts） "After recently traveling to China, I didn't realize the culture shock I would endure as an American citizen. I went to China for about a week and despite using a VPN, three English to Chinese translation books, and using charades to get my point across, communication was such a daunting task. Lawrence's book illustrates and highlights key points to Chinese communication all while learning the language

For more than twenty years after the Communist Revolution in 1949, China and most of the western world had no diplomats in each others' capitals and no direct way to communicate. Then, in July 1971, Henry Kissinger arrived secretly in Beijing on a mission which quickly led to the reopening of relations between China and the West and changed the course of post-war history. For the past forty years, Kissinger has maintained close relations with successive generations of Chinese leaders, and has probably been more intimately connected with China at the highest level than any other western figure. This book distils his unique experience and long study of the 'Middle Kingdom', examining China's history from the classical era to the present day, and explaining why it has taken the extraordinary course that it has. The book concentrates on the decades since 1949, presenting brilliantly drawn portraits of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other Chinese leaders, and reproducing verbatim Kissinger's conversations with each of them. But Kissinger's eye rarely leaves the long continuum of Chinese history: he describes the essence of China's approach to diplomacy, strategy and negotiation, and the remarkable ways in which Communist-era statesmen have drawn on methods honed over millennia. At the end of the book, Kissinger reflects on these attitudes for our own era of economic interdependence and an uncertain future. On China is written with great authority, complete accessibility and with many wider reflections on statecraft and diplomacy distilled from years of experience. At a moment when the rest of the world is thinking about China more than ever before, this timely book offers insights that no other can.
