How then does one explain the labor and Communist organizations in the Asian immigrant communities that existed from coast to coast between 1919 and 1933? Their organizers and members have been, until now, largely absent from the history of the American Communist movement. In Japanese and Chinese Immigrant Activists, Josephine Fowler brings us the first in-depth account of Japanese and Chinese immigrant radicalism inside the United States and across the Pacific. Drawing on multilingual correspondence between left-wing and party members and other primary sources, such as records from branches of the Japanese Workers Association and the Chinese Nationalist Party, Fowler shows how pressures from the Comintern for various sub-groups of the party to unite as an ?American? working class were met with resistance. The book also challenges longstanding stereotypes about the relationships among the Communist Party in the United States, the Comintern, and the Soviet Party. 517 1 $aJapanese & Chinese immigrant activists 606 $aJapanese Americans$xPolitics and government 606 $aChinese Americans$xPolitics and government 606 $aImmigrants$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aChinese Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aImmigrants$xPolitical activity 676 $a324.273/75089951 700 $aFowler$b Josephine$0987183 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213825203321 996 $aJapanese and Chinese immigrant activists$92256135 997 $aUNINA
