Book Talk with Mae M. Ngai
How did Chinese migration to the goldfields of California, Australia and South Africa both upend the global economy and forge modern conceptions of race?
Please come along to hear visiting Columbia professors Mae M. Ngai and Rebecca Kobrin in conversation about Mae M. Ngai's groundbreaking new book The Chinese Question: The Gold Rushes, Chinese Migration, and Global Politics.
The book will be available for sale and Mae M. Ngai will be signing on the night.
