5.0 out of 5 starsThe Chinese Laundryman: A Study of Social Isolation
By Sam from Skokie on November 28, 2003
Format: Hardcover
This book is a MUST-READ for anyone interested in understanding Chinese Chicago in the 1930s from an "insider's perspective."
Although the book centers on the lives of Chinese laundrymen, the countless interviews detailed throughout the book helps the reader understand what life must have been like for the average Chinese in Chicago not just that of Chinese landrymen.

Extremely interesting about a minority race in the west and of a time and period which has now well passed. A valuable historic social history. Provides information which is not generally available anywhere else.
