About this title: "Driven Out" exposes a shocking story of ethnic cleansing in California and the Pacific Northwest when the first Chinese Americans were rounded up and purged from more than three hundred communities by lawless citizens and duplicitous politicians. From 1848 into the twentieth century, Chinatowns burned across the West as Chinese miners and merchants, lumberjacks and fieldworkers, prostitutes and merchants' wives were violently loaded onto railroad cars or steamers, marched out of town, or killed. But the Chinese fought back - with arms, strikes, and lawsuits and by flatly refusing to leave. ...

"An enlightening account of racial prejudice and cruelty against Chinese Americans in the 1800s and part of 1900s in the U.S., esp. in the west. I never knew Chinese had it this tough. All Chinese living in the U.S should read this."
"This is a very comprehensive account of the travesties that Chinese immigrants endured in the U.S. These types of books help me to understand a history that was never popularized, usually overlooked."
"This book reveals the realities of immigrant Chinese in northern California and the discrimination they had to deal with. Portions may be emotionally difficult to accept."
"A sad but important book that reinforces our understanding of white supremacy's grip on the history of the west. New Western historians know and understand this well, but the general public and our fearless leadership remain relatively clueless or in near total denial. While Pfaelzer could organize her ideas more thoroughly and be more concise, she makes a respectable case that the Chinese and their allies reshaped the legal as well as the physical landscape of the American West."
