Rave Reviews

"Our nation has the greatest ideals, standing as that 'city upon a hill' for the world over to look toward with hope. Yet we have not always been as welcoming as we have proclaimed. Forbidden Citizens by Martin Gold tells the story of the exclusion of a specific group, the Chinese people, for racial reasons that were expressed in the most shocking terms. It is thorough, thoughtful, and highly relevant today. This work presents the best scholarship in the most accessible manner.."
-- Frank H. Wu,
Chancellor & Dean, University of California Hastings College of the Law, and the author of Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White (Basic Books)

 

"[L]andmark volume on the subject of exclusionary policies against Chinese and Chinese Americans ... a valuable teaching tool ... an exemplary subject reference."
-- Library Journal
(full review)

 

"Forbidden Citizens presents a skillful review of the long and tortuous path from temporary to permanent exclusion of the Chinese from immigration and citizenship. It is rich raw material for scholars of race relations and immigration that deftly weaves legal history, congressional debates, regional and national history, and the relation of foreign policy and immigration."
-- Najia Aarim-Heriot,
Professor, State University of New York at Fredonia, and the author of Chinese Immigrants, African Americans, and Racial Anxiety in the United States, 1848-82 (University of Illinois Press)

 

"Through engaging narrative, Forbidden Citizens expertly tells a story unfamiliar to most Americans, one that left a permanent scar upon the psyche of Chinese Americans and changed our nation forever. Martin Gold's thorough and pioneering research into decades of Congressional history brings to life the politics of Chinese exclusion in a way no one has."
-- Judy Chu, United States Representative (D-CA)

 

"In Forbidden Citizens, Martin Gold offers a sweeping and impressive documentation of the long and shameful legislative history of the mistreatment of the Chinese in this country. Forbidden Citizens is an exhaustive piece of research that will appeal not only to legal scholars and civil rights activists, but to any American curious about this grim chapter of our history."
-- Christopher Corbett,
author, The Poker Bride: The First Chinese in the Wild West (Atlantic Monthly)

 

"Forbidden Citizens is a captivating recount of grave and forgotten injustices and efforts to correct them. No one knows more about the United States Congress than Marty Gold, and he engages the reader in a way only he can."
-- Orrin Hatch, United States Senator (R-UT)

 

Anti-Chinese violence, discrimination, and rhetoric have a long, sordid history in America. It began with the first Chinese immigrants to North America in the 1840s and in some ways, at least rhetorically, continues to the present day. The anti-Chinese movement often took a federal political form that proved amazingly complex; and for the first time this legal history has been carefully and thoughtfully explained in Forbidden Citizens, from the initial congressional debates in the 1870s, through the passage of no less than nine Chinese exclusion laws, to the eventual repeal of fourteen statutes in 1943. All can be found in this one volume. It is a monumental achievement."
-- John R. Wunder,
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and author
Inferior Courts, Superior Justice: A History of the Justices of the Peace on the Northwest Frontier, 1853-1889 (Greenwood Press)

 

"Forbidden Citizens is a moving account of a regrettable part of American history. Marty Gold has done us all a service by bringing this story to light so that our past mistakes are never repeated."
-- Scott Brown, United States Senator (R-MA)

 

"An important piece of scholarship, which vividly depicts the intensity of anti-Chinese and anti-Asian feeling that was widespread even among our intellectual and political elite only a century ago."
-- Stephen Hsu,
Professor of Physics, University of Oregon

 

"Martin Gold presents in welcome detail both the disturbing story of how the U.S. Congress came to enact a series of federal laws that singled out Chinese immigrants for discriminatory treatment, and the story of how those laws were repealed.

Beginning with the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, these laws were the first time in our nation's history that Congress expressly singled out a group of immigrants for denial of citizenship rights, and for special exclusion under its immigration laws. But, as to the latter course, it was certainly not the last. There is a straight line from the enactment of the exclusion laws to the exclusionary immigration laws of the 1920s that effectively sealed the doors of the United States to Jews who might otherwise have been able to flee the conflagration of Nazi-occupied Europe.

We do well to remember that the protection of the rights of any of us depends on protecting the rights of all. Gold's book is a stirring and timely reminder of that principle."

-- Richard T. Foltin,
Director of National and Legislative Affairs, American Jewish Committee (AJC)

 

"Martin Gold's exceptional scholarly research on the legislative history of Chinese Exclusion Laws provides a compelling and troubling account of how Congress, a democratic institution of the people, enacted a series of discriminatory laws so contrary to our founding principles. Hopefully, this publication will not only bring to light the historic injustice inflicted on Chinese and Asian Americans because of these laws, but also offer a lesson on why we should not repeat this dark chapter in American history."
-- Michael C. Lin,
Chairman, 1882 Project
