The Chinese Must Go: Violence, Exclusion, and the Making of the Alien in America

Winner of the Ray Allen Billington PrizeWinner of the Ellis W. Hawley PrizeWinner of the Sally and Ken

Owens AwardWinner of the Vincent P. DeSantis Book PrizeWinner of the Caroline Bancroft History

Prize&#8220Apowerful argument about racial violence that could not be more

timely.&#8221#8213Richard White&#8220Ariveting, beautifully written account&#8230tht foregrounds

Chinese voices and experiences. A timely and important contribution to our understanding of immigration

and the border.&#8221#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

&#8220alen&#8221in America.Our story begins in the 1850s, before federal border control established

strict divisions between citizens and aliens&#8213an long before Congress passed the Chinese

Restriction Act, the nation&#8217sfirst 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&#8217srelationship 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&#8217sracialized border.&#8220Th 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&#8230Th stories of racist violence and community shunning are brutal to

read.&#8221#8213Rebecca Onion, Slate
