“Professor Rhoads has meticulously constructed the individual and collective histories of the 120 young men and boys sent by a beleaguered late Qing government to live and acquire English and Western knowledge in white New England families, schools and universities. As the vanguard of legions of Chinese students who have studied in the U.S. since, and as contemporaries of the far more numerous Chinese coolies whose paths they never crossed, this compelling study adds a surprising new chapter to early Asian American history.”
¾ Evelyn Hu-DeHart, professor of history and ethnic studies; director, Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America, Brown University
“A remarkable chapter in trans-Pacific history. Drawing from a huge array of local archives and personal papers, Professor Rhoads has produced the most authoritative study of the Chinese Education Mission. This collective biography of 120 teenage boys presents life in home-stay families, at schools, and in colleges, sometimes tender, sometimes tension-filled. Terminated abruptly in 1881, the mission failed, but among those who partook of this trans-Pacific exchange, there were heart-warming as well as heart-wrenching stories.”
¾ David Pong, professor of East Asian history, University of Delaware; editor-in-chief, Encyclopedia of Modern China
“Meticulously researched and well written, this book is an essential reading for anyone who wants to understand China’s past, present, and future through the lens of China’s first government-sponsored studying abroad program.”
¾ Xu Guoqi, associate professor of history, University of Hong Kong; author of Strangers on the Western Front: Chinese Worker
