Product Information

Mary Paik Lee, born Paik Kuang Sun in 1900, left her native country in 1905, traveling with her parents as a political refugee after Japan imposed control over Korea at the close of the Russo-Japanese War. Her father labored in the sugar plantations of Hawaii for a year and a half before taking his family to California, where Mrs. Lee has lived ever since. Though her father knew the comforts enjoyed by the educated traditional elite in Korea, after emigration he and his family shared the poverty stricken existence endured by thousands of Asian immigrants in early twentieth century America. Mrs. Lee's parents earned their living as farm laborers, tenant farmers, cooks, and janitors, and the family always took in laundry. Her father tried mercury mining until his health gave out. In their turn, Mrs. Lee and her husband farmed, sold produce, and managed apartment buildings. The author is engagingly outspoken and is extremely observant of her social and natural surroundings. Recounted incidents take on memorable life, as do the sharply etched settings of California's agricultural and mining country. She tells of singular hardship surmounted with resilience and characteristic grace. During much of her life Asian Americans were not treated as full human beings, yet she kept a powerful vision of what the United States could be.

Reviews
"In this moving testament, Lee shares with her readers her feelings of growing up poor, Asian, and female. . . . An excellent primary source, enhanced by Chan's scholarly additions, that will enrich a variety of subjects such as anthropology, women in history, psychology, and Asian studies."--School Library Journal"Lee's indomitable spirit pervades this absorbing autobiography spanning much of the 20th century. . . . [Chan's] notes help make this brief, accessible volume a worthwhile addition to the scholarship on Asian American culture."--Publishers Weekly

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Great Book! Inspiring, heartbreaking and interesting.

    This book is a gem. Written by one of the first Korean immigrants to the US via Hawaii in 1905. Her struggles with extreme poverty, racism and trying to adapt to a new life in various towns in the California was very heartbreaking to read. Her courage and determination to attain a better life against all challenges were very inspiring. This book should have been called "A Remarkable Life" because it truly was. The one part of this book I will never forget is how the author, at the age of 14, took a train ride alone at the age of 15 to continue her education. She worked as a live-in maid before and after school to get free lodgings in return. This book is a must-read not just for Asians amd immigrants but for everyone to appreciate how easier their lives are today than it was a hundred ...

  • Saves money.

    I need this novel for my Asian American Studies. I like this product it's because the price is okay for me.
