Anti-Asian sentiment is not something new.  There is a long history of racism against Asian Americans in the United States.  Join Lisa See as she tells the story of the Chinese in America through the eyes of her family who settled in Los Angeles and the racism they experienced as newcomers. 

On Gold Mountain, published in 1996, is Lisa See’s memoir of her Chinese American family.  It tells the story not only of her family, but of the Chinese people in America, a country that both welcomes and scorns immigrants.

Lisa See is the New York Times bestselling author of The Island of Sea Women, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love, Shanghai Girls, China Dolls, and Dreams of Joy, which debuted at #1.
