In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Chinese immigrants faced discrimination and violence in America. Many found refuge and a way to earn a living in Chinese laundries.
Chinese laundries were more than just places to wash clothes. They were community centers, social hubs, and even political meeting places. They provided a sense of belonging and support for Chinese immigrants in a hostile land.
In her groundbreaking book, Chinese Laundries: Tickets to Survival on Gold Mountain, historian Judy Yung reveals the hidden legacy of Chinese laundries in America.
Yung draws on extensive research, including interviews with former laundry workers and their families, to tell the stories of these unsung heroes.
She shows how Chinese laundries helped Chinese immigrants survive and thrive in America. They provided a way to earn a living, support their families, and build a community.
Chinese laundries also played a role in the American civil rights movement. They were often the only places where Chinese immigrants could gather and discuss their experiences of discrimination.
Yung's book is a fascinating and important account of a hidden chapter in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Chinese immigrant experience, American history, or the history of civil rights.
