Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinaman as We See Him This little sketch brings the Chinaman before us as we see him on this side of the great Pacific. He appears to us in this country at a great disadvantage. One needs to see him at home to fully appreciate him. His environment is so different here from what it is in China, that it is very difficult to judge him correctly. There are certainly bad things enough in him, whether at home or abroad, but alongside of these are many noble and commendable qualities. At first glance the Japanese are usually considered the superior race. The contrary is, however, the. fact; and this is universally acknowledged by those who have come to know both races well. For capability, for reliability, for most of the sterling qualities which make for strength of character, the Chinese easily excel. They are a people who improve upon closer acquaintance. But China is no hothouse plant, and cannot be forced to advance as fast as we would wish. In her intense conservatism, which is really a sign of strength, she must be given time. Great bodies move slowly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: From Tony Hsieh to Amy Chua to Jeremy Lin, Chinese Americans are now arriving at the highest levels of American business, civic life, and culture. But what makes this story of immigrant ascent unique is that Chinese Americans are emerging at just the same moment when China has emerged -- and indeed may displace America -- at the center of the global scene. What does it mean to be Chinese American in this moment? And how does exploring that question alter our notions of just what an American is and will be? In many ways, Chinese Americans today are exemplars of the American Dream: during a crowded century and a half, this community has gone from indentured servitude, second-class status and outright exclusion to economic and social integration and achievement. But this narrative obscures too much: the Chinese Americans still left behind, the erosion of the American Dream in general, the emergence -- perhaps -- of a Chinese Dream, and how other Americans will look at their countrymen of Chinese descent if China and America ever become adversaries. As Chinese Americans reconcile competing beliefs about what constitutes success, virtue, power, and purpose, they hold a mirror up to their country in a time of deep flux. In searching, often personal essays that range from the meaning of Confucius to the role of Chinese Americans in shaping how we read the Constitution to why he hates the hyphen in "Chinese-American," Eric Liu pieces together a sense of the Chinese American identity in these auspicious years for both countries. He considers his own public career in American media and government; his daughter's efforts to hold and release aspects of her Chinese inheritance; and the still-recent history that made anyone Chinese in America seem foreign and disloyal until proven otherwise. Provocative, often playful but always thoughtful, Liu breaks down his vast subject into bite-sized chunks, along the way providing insights into universal matters: identity, nationalism, family, and more.
