Book excerpt: "Border Passages: Growing up in Chinatown of El Paso at the turn of the Twentieth Century is a realistic fiction of a Chinese-American child in El Paso, Texas at the turn of the last century. In the early 1900's, El Paso, Texas had a huge thriving Chinatown, on the scale of Chinatowns in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. Miscegenation laws, local prejudice and other discriminatory practices virtually wiped out the local Chinese neighborhood by the 1930's. The buildings are torn down but the legends remain. Lin Hua is an American-born girl whose family is plunged into danger because of the prejudice of a gang of white men who resent the Chinese workers and residents of El Paso. Lin Hua lives with her father, her mother's sister Auntie Ma and Uncle, Auntie's husband. Dr. Fong, Lin Hua's father, acts as a medical consultant and herbalist in the Chinese community since the white doctors will not treat the local Chinese workers. His position draws the family into a conflict involving human smuggling of Chinese immigrants across the Mexican/United States border through secret tunnels under the Rio Grande, the river separating the two countries. Lin Hua is an intelligent young woman vi and a dutiful child who wants her family to be proud of her. When she spends time with the family of a prominent Jewish lawyer in El Paso, she discovers a hunger to learn to speak English so that she can communicate to more people. Perhaps she can be an instrument in bridging the language and cultural gaps in this diverse community. The tunnels also serve as a metaphor for Lin Hua's maturity and a sense of enlightenment for some of the characters. Characters in the novel come from prejudice and ignorance within both cultures to a better sense of acceptance and understanding. Lin Hua lives in a town that does not accept her or her family. Without a mother, she has had to grow up very fast and take on adult duties and concerns that would not ordinarily be a part of her life. Her family is extremely through their eyes. Chinese immigrants were people who simply wanted to live their lives, work hard and take care of their families. Many El Pasoans who were also recent settlers saw the Chinese as intruders, outsiders and aliens much as some Americans view immigrants today. In researching to prepare this book, I was amazed at the parallels between the situation of the Chinese and the white residents of the early 1900's and the present day immigrant conflict regarding both Latino immigrants from Mexico and Latin America and refugees from the Middle East. By examining the lives of these young people from the turn of the century, the reader learns along with Lin Hua and her friends that we are all just people, with the same hopes, fears and joys.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Paso was a crossroads long before it was a border town, and its restaurant history represents the same intersection of foodways and culinary traditions. When the Ladies' Auxiliary for the YMCA produced El Paso's first known community cookbook in 1898, a number of its recipes appeared in English for the first time. Many of the eateries that supported that variety are now gone, but places like Jaxson's, Griggs and the Central Café changed the city's tastebuds forever. Walk the colonnade of the Hollywood Café or plop down at Bill Parks Bar-B-Q in this collection of standbys served up by the El Paso County Historical Society.
