Three Tough Chinamen

(Earnshaw Books) At the turn of the 20th century, Chinese people who came to the United States faced prejudice. Seligman examines the obstacles they faced — including the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 — as he tells the story of three brothers who took a stand against injustice, fought bigotry, and advocated for equal rights. Seligman is a historian who has lived in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. He has managed a public relations agency in China and served as communications director for a Fortune 500 company. He is author or co-author of three books on China.
