The book ''Congressional Policy Of Chinese Immigration: Or Legislation Relating To Chinese Immigration To The United States'' by Tien-Lu Li is a historical account of the legislative policies and debates surrounding Chinese immigration to the United States in the early 20th century. The author, a Chinese scholar and diplomat, provides a comprehensive analysis of the various laws and regulations that were enacted by Congress to restrict Chinese immigration, including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and subsequent amendments. Li examines the political and social factors that contributed to the anti-Chinese sentiment prevalent in American society at the time, including economic competition, racial stereotypes, and fears of cultural assimilation. He also discusses the role of Chinese immigrants in the development of the American West, particularly in the construction of the transcontinental railroad, and the impact of exclusionary policies on their lives and communities. The book is based on extensive research of primary sources, such as congressional records, court cases, and newspaper articles, and provides a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the history of Chinese immigration and American immigration policy. It sheds light on the complex and often controversial nature of immigration policies and their impact on both the immigrant and the host society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
