Uncovers the story of the Tape family in post-gold rush, racially explosive San Francisco. The author paints a picture of how the role of immigration broker allowed patriarch Jeu Dip (Joseph Tape) to both protest and profit from discrimination, and of the Tapes as the first of a new social type - middle-class Chinese Americans.

360 pages, 45 halftones. 2 line illus. 3 maps.
