The stories were touching, April 20, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Reflections of Seattle's Chinese Americans: The First 100 Years (Paperback)
I thought the book was great because I learned a lot about the struggles that the older generation went through. It opened my eyes to a history that I never knew before. The stories were well written and I enjoyed the photos and historical essay. I highly recommend this book.

A must-read, must-have for anyone interested in effective presentation of oral histories. Awesome for library research and as a personal coffee table book. I couldn't put it down.

Superb example of how oral history can make fine reading, July 8, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Reflections of Seattle's Chinese Americans: The First 100 Years (Paperback)
Very moving, intimate personal portraits of the lives of 71 Chinese Americans who talk about the very harsh era before World War II, when discrimination and poverty were prevalent. A few of the photo portraits and stories are memorable, quite touching. Immensely readable throughout.
