Winner of the 2022 Bancroft Prize Shortlisted for the 2022 Cundill History Prize Finalist for the 2022 Los Angeles Times Book Prize How Chinese migration to the world’s goldfields upended global power and economics and forged modern conceptions of race. In roughly five decades, between 1848 and 1899, more gold was removed from the earth than had been mined in the 3,000 preceding years, bringing untold wealth to individuals and nations. But friction between Chinese and white settlers on the goldfields of California, Australia, and South Africa catalyzed a global battle over “the Chinese Question”: would the United States and the British Empire outlaw Chinese immigration? This distinguished history of the Chinese diaspora and global capitalism chronicles how a feverish alchemy of race and money brought Chinese people to the West and reshaped the nineteenth-century world. Drawing on ten years of research across five continents, prize-winning historian Mae Ngai narrates the story of the thousands of Chinese who left their homeland in pursuit of gold, and how they formed communities and organizations to help navigate their perilous new world. Out of their encounters with whites, and the emigrants’ assertion of autonomy and humanity, arose the pernicious western myth of the “coolie” laborer, a racist stereotype used to drive anti-Chinese sentiment. By the turn of the twentieth century, the United States and the British Empire had answered “the Chinese Question” with laws that excluded Chinese people from immigration and citizenship. Ngai explains how this happened and argues that Chinese exclusion was not extraneous to the emergent global economy but an integral part of it. The Chinese Question masterfully links important themes in world history and economics, from Europe’s subjugation of China to the rise of the international gold standard and the invention of racist, anti-Chinese stereotypes that persist to this day.

Mrs. Baldwin had been a missionary in China for 18 years when she wrote this work. She cites, sometimes with tongue in cheek, the arguments against Chinese immigration that are often lobbed against other groups of immigrants that have also attempted to enter the U.S.: that they are of lower class, will bring disease, they don't pay taxes, they chapen labor, and fail to assimilate.

Excerpt from The Chinese, and the Chinese Question The pages following are devoted to a subject second to none in political importance; one upon the determination of which the ultimate destiny of our country and of our people must depend. The events of the eight years that have elapsed since the publication of the first edition have but confirmed the views expressed in the latter, and have afforded additional proof in abundance of the soundness of the conclusions set forth therein. Although, for convenience, it has been preferred to divide the volume into chapters, the work as a whole, relating to the Chinese question in its broad and varied phases, is composed of substantially four parts, each I framed in the double aspect of illustrating in detail the branch to which it especially relates and the essential connection of that branch with the subject at large: thus, from page 1 to page 72 relates to the Chinese, their work, institutions, and character as a people, and their place and influence in former times among the nations and races of the earth; from page 72 to page 107, to their modern relations with the nations of the West; from page 107 to page 141 to their advent and presence in our own country; and from page 141 et seq., to the methods dictated by policy and law for their elimination from our domain. The author may say here what he said in the preface to the first edition, that in urging his convictions concerning Chinese immigration, he speaks from no immature judgment and expresses no hastily formed opinion.
