The previously published essays assembled here document the presence of Chinese immigrants east of California during the 19th century, adequately describing the Chinese communities' composition, activities, and experiences in the southwest, northwest, and Rocky Mountain states and territories. Standout contributions include an insightful exploration of Butte's anti-Asian boycott and an analysis of Territory of New Mexico v. Yee Shun (1882), a Euroamerican's firsthand account about the Rock Springs, Wyoming massacre. Liping Zhu establishes a broader geopolitical and historiographical context that is lacking in other essays. Although editor Dirlik's fine introduction rightly cautions that these essays should be read critically, readers themselves may lack the background to discern dated historiography and uncritical use of sources. The uneven quality of the essays and prohibitive cost of the volume render it unwieldy for most courses about the US West, Sino-American relations, or Asian America. Nonetheless, the collection provocatively suggests directions for future research--including interactions between the Chinese and other ethnic minority groups--and highlights scholarship that simultaneously broadens the purview of both Asian American and western US history. An informative resource for libraries, historical societies, and scholars who focus on western and/or Chinese American history. K. J. Leong Arizona State University

Dirlik (history, Duke Univ.), editor of the "Pacific Formations" series, specializes in two subjects eurocentrism and anarchy in the Chinese revolution (1905-30). In his commitment to educating a general audience about the Chinese struggles in America, he joined with graduate student Yeung to edit this collection of articles dealing with the underresearched topic of the Chinese presence in the American West. While the articles vary in quality the best being a chapter on the pioneer Chinese of Utah and the worst being a chapter on Polly Beemis the contributors provide interesting information on how Chinese people lived in the Southwest, Northwest, and Rocky Mountain states during the late 1800s, when anti-Chinese sentiment was at its peak. Major themes include racial hostility and violence, Chinese resistance to discrimination, life in Chinatowns (e.g., Chinese festivities and food, the absence of women, gambling, opium use, and prostitution), and labor issues and public attitudes. These themes are remarkably similar to those in other texts on Chinese American history that draw from Chinese experiences primarily in California and New York, e.g., Roger Daniels's Asian America (1990), Lucy E. Salyer's Laws as Harsh as Tigers (Univ. of North Carolina, 1995), and Claiming America (Temple Univ., 1998), edited by Kevin Scott Wong. While expensive, this text is a useful addition to libraries that specialize in Chinese American studies. Peggy Spitzer Christoff, Rockville, MD (c) Copyright 2010.
