Summary |
The presence of Chinese in the United States has been a fruitful topic of angry political discussion, of legislative investigation, of congressional legislation and of judicial inquiry for twenty years past. But still they remain with us, and apparently continue to flow in upon us why they should come to this country, or why they should not come, are still open questions. To ad in the solution of the vexed problem is the chief purpose of this book. It s aim is to portray the everyday life of those CHINA MEN WHO HAVE MADE THE HEART OF New York City their home-their business occupations, social habits, amusements, religious observances and whatever else is peculiar to them as race; drawing the pictures from actual life, uninfluenced by favor or prejudices; exaggerating in no particular; concealing no faults; omitting no feature of profitable study, to then end that the reader will be enabled to reach a fair and just conclusion on the questions above. |
