CHINESE AMERICANS - this book, entitled "Chinese Americans - the Immigrant Experience," written by Dusanka Miscevic &
Peter Kwong, tells a story of Chinese immigrants who were ostracized by exclusion laws and never expected to overcome cultural barriers.
The book takes a hard look at the unique and painful experiences of Chinese immigrants trying to make America their home, and explores the various ways Chinese Americans have negotiated between assimilating and maintaining ethnic identity.
Carefully selected photographs (by Chien-Chi Chang, Lia Chang and Corky Lee) add perspective and insight to the text!!
ANNA MAY WONG - this beautiful , tall (5'7"), slender and Chinese American pioneer of the film industry was born on January 3, 1905 in L. A. California.
She had performed with major stars such as Sessue Hayakawa, Marleen Dietrich, Colleen Moore, Lon Chaney, John Gilbert, Douglas Fairbanks, Hal Roach, Samuel Goldwyn, etc. in their featured films throughout her 40 years / 54 films career in films as Toll of the Sea, the Tong Man, the Thief of Bagdad, the Shanghai Express, etc. among her many films.
She has worked with companies such as Pathe, United Artists, Paramount, Samuel Goldwyn Production, MGM, Warner Brothers, etc.
