The Origins of Cantonese Chinese America
Dr. Doug Lee is preparing to publish two new books on a comprehensive narrative of early Chinese American History. His work, which has taken over a decade to research and write, is entitled: The Origins of Cantonese Chinese America, 1850-1900, A Transnational History. Volume I: Tong Shan Origins; Vol II: Gum-Shan Destinations.
Dr. Lee will share both his personal experience in undertaking this project, and his professional research and writing, relative to the introduction of some new theories and methodologies concerning historical investigations and historiographical interpretations about early Chinese American Identity, History and Culture. Dr. Lee lives in San Francisco, California and is currently teaching at De Anza College, in Cupertino, and at San Francisco City College. For the past eight years, he has taught summer session classes at Portland State University and Washington State University, Vancouver. He earned a Ph.D. in Modern Chinese History at UC Santa Barbara (1979), and a J.D. at Lewis and Clark Law School in 1988.
