Title
Introduction – Labor and San Francisco's Garment Industry
Description
The long history of Chinese immigrant and Chinese American workers organizing in guilds and labor unions -- in California, from the Gold Rush to the building of the transcontinental railroad and onwards -- was obscured in the decades following the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. ... Today, most labor historians are completely unaware of this major part of labor history's existence. This volume is part of correcting that record.
