Reviews
"Sue Fawn Chung is a talented miner of Chinese American History."-- The Historian "A rich and multifaceted social history of Chinese mining communities in Oregon and Nevada. Scholars of Chinese America will find the book to be a valuable addition to their libraries."-- American Historical Review, "With its interesting portraits of little-known towns and the Chinese Americans who inhabited them, In Pursuit of Gold is full of surprises and discoveries. It is a worthy contribution to the study of Chinese in the U.S.A."-- Historical Studies in Ethnicity, "A rich and multifaceted social history of Chinese mining communities in Oregon and Nevada. Scholars of Chinese America will find the book to be a valuable addition to their libraries."-- American Historical Review, "In this groundbreaking study, Sue Fawn Chung illumines a world of Chinese miners and merchants that has long been ignored or forgotten. Acknowledging the challenges of discrimination and hostility, Chung demonstrates a wide range of contributions by Chinese Americans and identifies areas of positive interaction with the dominant Euro-American society." --James J. Rawls, coeditor of A Golden State: Mining and Economic Development in Gold Rush California, Recognized as an honor book in the competition for the Denver Public Library's Western History/Genealogy Department Caroline Bancroft History Prize, 2012. "Sue Fawn Chung is a talented miner of Chinese American History."-- The Historian, "Sue Fawn Chung has meticulously reconstructed the story of these Chinese mining enclaves as well as their interactions with the larger communities. Interesting details about many individuals effectively enhance both the book's readability and the author's analysis."-- Pacific Historical Review, "An excellent explanation of the familial and cultural links between the Chinese of the Guangdong region and how that influenced their relationships in the United States."-- Nevada in the West, ""An excellent explanation of the familial and cultural links between the Chinese of the Guangdong region and how that influenced their relationships in the United States.""--Nevada in the West ""Sue Fawn Chung is a talented miner of Chinese American History.""--The Historian ""A rich and multifaceted social history of Chinese mining communities in Oregon and Nevada.

Interesting details about many individuals effectively enhance both the book's readability and the author's analysis.""--Pacific Historical Review""In this groundbreaking study, Sue Fawn Chung illumines a world of Chinese miners and merchants that has long been ignored or forgotten. Her focus is on three relatively isolated mining towns in Nevada and Oregon, but her narrative sweep encompasses the broader experiences of the Chinese diaspora. Acknowledging the challenges of discrimination and hostility, Chung demonstrates a wide range of contributions by Chinese Americans and identifies areas of positive interaction with the dominant Euro-American society.""--James J.
