Prize“Apowerful argument about racial violence that could not be more
timely.”#8213Richard White“Ariveting, beautifully written account…tht foregrounds
Chinese voices and experiences. A timely and important contribution to our understanding of immigration
and the border.”#8213Karl Jacoby, author of Shadows at DawnIn 1885, following the massacre of
Chinese miners in Wyoming Territory, communities throughout California and the Pacific Northwest
harassed, assaulted, and expelled thousands of Chinese immigrants. The Chinese Must Go shows how
American immigration policies incited this violence, and how this gave rise to the concept of the
“alen”in America.Our story begins in the 1850s, before federal border control established
strict divisions between citizens and aliens―an long before Congress passed the Chinese
Restriction Act, the nation’sfirst attempt to bar immigration based on race and class. When this
unprecedented experiment failed to slow Chinese migration, armed vigilante groups took the matter into
their own hands. Fearing the spread of mob violence, policymakers redoubled their efforts to seal the
borders, overhauling immigration law and transforming America’srelationship with China in the
process. By tracing the idea of the alien back to this violent era, Lew-Williams offers a troubling new
origin story of today’sracialized border.“Th Chinese Must Go shows how a country that
was moving, in a piecemeal and halting fashion, toward an expansion of citizenship for formerly enslaved
people and Native Americans, came to deny other classes of people the right to naturalize
altogether…Th stories of racist violence and community shunning are brutal to
read.”#8213Rebecca Onion, Slate
