Pop was born in Guangdong Province, China and emigrated to Oakland as a teenager during the Chinese Exclusion era in 1912. He entered the U.S. legally as the son of a native, despite having partially false papers. <em>Sons of Chinatown</em> is Wongs evocative dual memoir of his and his fathers parallel experiences in America.</p><p>As Pop grappled with the systemic racism towards Asians during the exclusion era, Wong wistfully depicts Pops efforts to establish a family business and build a life for his family in segregated Oakland. As the exclusion law ended in 1943, young William was assimilating into American life and developing his path as a journalist. Writing for the <em>Wall Street Journal</em>, <em>Oakland Tribune</em>, and Asian American periodicals, Wong chronicled Asian American experiences while honoring Chinese American history and identity, but he too faced discrimination.</p><p><em>Sons of Chinatown</em> poignantly weaves these father and son stories together with admiration and righteous anger. Through the mirrored lens of his father, Wong reflects on the hardships Asian Americans enduredand continue to facewith American exceptionalism. Wongs inspiring memoir provides a personal history that also raises the question of whether America welcomes or repels immigrants.</p>...4420981Sons of Chinatown470653https://www.gandhi.com.mx/sons-of-chinatown-9781439924891/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4322126/image.jpg?v=638446645260930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781439924891_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9781439924891_<p>William Gee Wong was born in Oakland, Californias Chinatown in 1941, the only son of his father, known as Pop.
