Dreaming of Gold, Dreaming of Home Transnationalism and Migration Between the United States and South China, 1882-1943

This book is a highly original study of transnationalism among immigrants from the county of Taishan, from which, until 1965, a high percentage of the Chinese in the United States originated. The author vividly depicts the continuing ties between Taishanese remaining in China and their kinsmen seeking their fortune in "Gold Mountain."
