Those who crossed the Pacific recorded their thoughts about the sea creatures they discovered, the birds that followed the ships, and the potential of American expansion to…
Beth Lew-Williams. The Chinese Must Go
In The Chinese Must Go: Violence, Exclusion, and the Making of the Alien in America, Beth Lew-Williams provides an excellent analysis of how nineteenth-century Chinese restriction and exclusion led to the development of the concept of the alien in the twenty-first century United States. The author clearly explains the development of the drive to rid the United States of the Chinese. In particular, she looks at the growth of violence against the C…
Iyko Day. Alien Capital
In Alien Capital: Asian Racialization and the Logic of Settler Colonial Capitalism, Iyko Day provides both a fascinating look at capitalism and the racialization of Asian immigrants and a cross-border analysis of U.S. and Canadian policies toward Chinese, Japanese, Jewish, and Native American peoples. Day begins with the era of transcontinental railroad building in both nations, which relied on the cheap labor of Chinese workers, and concludes wi…

The author demonstrates that the desire of the government was to end predatory behaviors among the Blackfeet and replace them with productive ones, such as cattle raising and crop growing. Beginning with the relationship between the Blackfeet and the colonizers in the earl…

Opium smoking, anti‐Chinese attitudes, and the American medical community, 1850–1890
During the 1870s and early 1880s, members of the American medical community sought to exclude the Chinese from immigrating to the United States because these physicians believed that the Chinese opium smoking habit threatened the moral system of the country. Doctors were especially concerned about the supposed effects of opium smoking on sexual behavior, arguing that it both heightened male and female desire and endangered the nation's reproducti…
