Book Synopsis Sweet Cakes, Long Journey by : Marie Rose Wong

Book excerpt: Drawing on immigration and other records, Wong chronicles the history of Portland’s Chinatowns from their early beginnings in the 1850s until the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the 1940s. She clarifies the role that the early Chinese immigrants played in determining their own community destiny and the development of their Chinatown in urban form and vernacular architectural expression.
