China Men National Book Award Winner

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER.

This compelling work by the bestselling author Maxine Hong Kingston, known for The Woman Warrior, delves into the lives of several generations of Chinese men in America. A powerful blend of memory, myth, and fact, China Men chronicles their arduous journey and struggles, from the laborers building the transcontinental railroad in the 1840s to soldiers fighting in Vietnam.

Praised by The New Republic as "A history at once savage and beautiful, a combination of bone-grinding reality and luminous fantasy," Kingston illuminates the long and often painful search for the "Gold Mountain." Her narrative masterfully weaves vivid fables, family lore, and historical details of the hardships faced by Chinese immigrants across different eras.

In Very Good condition, this paperback copy of an important work of American literature is a testament to the enduring spirit of a people.
