Description

Asian Tragedies in the Americas: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Stories explores the stories of nineteenth-century East Asian migrants throughout the Americas, tracing the asymmetrical international conditions which shaped migrants' experiences. Won K.Yoon examines such phenomena as Chinese paper (fraudulent) wives and daughters, Korean picture marriages, and Japanese war brides, analyzing the impact of racism and colonialism on East Asian groups and family experiences in the West.



About the Author

Won K. Yoon is retired and was long-time professor of sociology at La Sierra University and Loma Linda University.



Reviews

"Yoon provides a comparative analysis of Asian diaspora in the Americas and how this community's experiences intersect with capitalism, slavery, and racial discrimination. From Chinese coolies in Cuba and Peru, to Korean slaves in Yucatan, Mexico, to picture brides in Hawaii, and to Japanese experiences in the Americas, Yoon provides an insightful synthesis of the 'Asian tragedy' from global and local contexts."

-- Edward Chang, University of California, Riverside

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
