Between 1850 and 1920, western states instituted more than five thousand laws marginalizing Chinese residents and channeling them into exploitative labor. Illuminating the history of anti-Chinese discrimination beyond federal exclusion, Beth Lew-Williams shows how Chinese people fought and evaded these laws, insisting on their rights.
