Chinese American Transnationalism: The Flow of People, Resources, and Ideas between China and America during the Exclusion Era. Ed. by Sucheng Chan. (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2005. xviii, 294 pp. Cloth, $69.50, ISBN 1-59213-434-3. Paper, $23.95, ISBN 1-59213-435-1.)

This collection is the third volume of essays on the Chinese exclusion era (1882–1943) edited by Sucheng Chan. Each presents historical work that exemplifies the cutting-edge themes and methods of its period. The first, Entry Denied (1990), focused on the legal and institutional dimensions of exclusion. The second, Claiming America (1998), concerned Chinese Americans' claims for inclusion and the making of ethnic identity. The present volume speaks to current interest in transnationalism in migration studies and in American studies more generally. Tracking human, economic, and cultural flows across the Pacific Ocean, these essays offer a complex view of the transnational connections that shaped the experience of Chinese in the United States from the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth.
