McCunn, Ruthanne Lum. WOODEN FISH SONGS.
Beacon Press 2000 0807062294 / 9780807062296 Paperback Good
SIGNED by author.384 pp. Approx. 5.5 x 8in. 14oz.In 19th. century China, "wooden fish songs" were the laments sung by Chinese women left behind by husbands, sons, and brothers looking for a better life on "Gold Mountain", America. What the men found there, however, were years of indentured servitude, racism, and sometimes violence committed by the white "ghosts." Lue Gim Gong, a real-life early-American horticultural pioneer, faced just such obstacles. His saving grace, however, was found in the actions of the remarkable women in his life: his mother in China, a New England spinster, and his friend, the daughter of slaves. In this deftly crafted and deeply researched tale, Lue's experiences are recounted through their voices, and we learn not just of him, but of the very different lives and perspectives of three heroic nineteenth-century women. Filled with detail and insight.
Light to moderate overall wear, mostly covers.
