Historic Photos of the Chinese in California
Turner Publishing Company (Verlag)
978-1-68442-076-6 (ISBN)
With nearly 200 historic photographs gathered from notable collections, this book explores a century of Chinese progress in California. Retracing the immigrants’ steps—from the gold fields to the high Sierra railroad camps, to lettuce fields and olive groves, and to the Monterey coast—we visit Chinese enclaves throughout the state. We linger in San Francisco’s old Chinatown, home to cherished children and notorious tong gangs, where new arrivals first found refuge and familiar goods, and tourists later found exotic merchandise spilling from aging storefronts. These historic images recall a time when the Chinese community in California was still a world apart.
Hannah Clayborn was born and raised in Oakland. A professional historian, writer, and editor, she has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area her entire life. Earning undergraduate degrees in anthropology and psychology and a graduate degree in history, she went on to serve as the director of four history museums in the Greater Bay Area. Her early investigations into the history of Chinese and other immigrant groups in two rural communities in Northern California led to several articles. She has published historical books and articles on the towns of Bloomfield and Healdsburg, and has edited more than 100 pictorial histories of California cities and towns. She is currently editing a new history of Walnut Creek, California, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.
