Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten-year-old Samantha Plum's continuing adventures find her returning to Hawaii and the Philippines under a cloud of sadness and impending doom. In this second installment, Sam deals with emotions that are too heavy a burden for a young girl, and the loss of her mind-talking support: her parents are in jeopardy; the spirit of her ancestor 'Lolo Ciano' is imprisoned in a dream cloud; Ollie's gift had been taken away by the fireflies, and Patti doesn't realize that she is being held against her will. It is all too much for Sam to handle by herself. But help comes when Sam needs it most. Solo and his ancestor shark and Yi Fan the herbalist from Hawaii; Tita Mari and cousin Victoria, her traveling companions; Niko, the dwarf once the enemy now her friend, and others come to her aid. Sam and Patti are also introduced to the spirit of the Philippines' national hero. They must face an evil Chinese witch who forces unsuspecting women to do her bidding in Manila and Honolulu.

Book excerpt: Manhattan's Chinatown is an enclave located in the oldest section of New York City, Manhattan's Lower East Side. For most who reside there, Chinatown serves as the quintessential microcosm. It is a place to do business, buy groceries, and raise families. For many Chinese immigrants, it provides a stepping stone to a perceived better life that may only be achieved through hard work, determination, sacrifice, and assimilation. Chinatown's main sources of income and employment lie in its many restaurants, factories, small shops, and businesses. However, for generations of New Yorkers and visitors, Chinatown represents the very embodiment of exotica. With its ancient tenements, temples, fragrant food aromas, neon signs, colorful sites and sounds, and aromatic curio shops, it provides the ultimate journey of the senses, revealing an energetic and vibrant world. Through vintage postcards, Manhattan's Chinatown chronicles how this community has continually evolved over 150 years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing the untold stories of a pioneer generation of young Chinese Americans, this book places the children and families of early Chinatown in the middle of efforts to combat American policies of exclusion and segregation. Wendy Jorae challenges long-held notions of early Chinatown as a bachelor community by showing that families--and particularly children--played important roles in its daily life. She explores the wide-ranging images of Chinatown's youth created by competing interests with their own agendas--from anti-immigrant depictions of Chinese children as filthy and culturally inferior to exotic and Orientalized images that catered to the tourist's ideal of Chinatown. All of these representations, Jorae notes, tended to further isolate Chinatown at a time when American-born Chinese children were attempting to define themselves as Chinese American. Facing barriers of immigration exclusion, cultural dislocation, child labor, segregated schooling, crime, and violence, Chinese American children attempted to build a world for themselves on the margins of two cultures. Their story is part of the larger American story of the struggle to overcome racism and realize the ideal of equality.

Book excerpt: Tong Wars is historical true-crime set against the perfect landscape: Chinatown, New York City. Chinese rival tongs (secret societies) each lauded over illegal markets such as gambling and prostitution, and nothing could shut them down. Not threats or negotiations, not prison, not even executions. Pretty soon Chinese were slaughtering one another in the streets, inaugurating a succession of wars that raged for the next 30 years. This is the true account of these wars, turf wars fuelled by gangsters and drug lords, prostitutes, judges and cops.
