- Synopsis
- Beth Lew-Williams shows how American immigration policies incited violence against Chinese workers, and how that violence provoked new exclusionary policies. Locating the origins of the modern American “alien” in this violent era, she makes clear that the present resurgence of xenophobia builds mightily upon past fears of the “heathen Chinaman.”
