Drawing on a wealth of historical sources, Wei reconstructs what life was like for the early Chinese and Japanese pioneers, and he pays special attention to the different challenges faced by those in urban versus rural areas. The result is a groundbreaking approach that helps us better understand how Asians survived-and thrived-in an often hostile environment. Offering a fresh perspective on how cycles of persecution are repeated, Wei reveals how the treatment of Asian Americans resonates with the experiences of other marginalized groups in American society. His study sheds light not only on the Asian American experience but also on the development of Colorado and the greater American West. 410 0$aScott and Laurie Oki series in Asian American studies. 606 $aRace relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01086509 606 $aAsian Americans$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00818620 606 $aAmericains d'origine asiatique$zColorado$xHistoire 606 $aAsian Americans$zColorado$xHistory 607 $aColorado$2fast 607 $aColorado$xHistoire 607 $aColorado$xRelations raciales$xHistoire 607 $aColorado$xHistory 607 $aColorado$xRace relations$xHistory 608 $aHistory. 608 $aRessources Internet. 615 7$aRace relations. 615 7$aAsian Americans. 615 6$aAmericains d'origine asiatique$xHistoire. 615 7$aAsian Americans$xHistory. 676 $a305.8009788 700 $aWei$b William$f1948-$01799887 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963443303321 996 $aAsians in Colorado$94344310 997 $aUNINA
