I read Mai Ngai's The Chinese Question. It was interesting and helpful b/c she tied in anti-Chinese sentiment from the US, Australia, and South Africa to show how they influenced each other. I know it's ridiculous to expert her to know every language, but I would have liked to have learned more about Chinese immigration to Peru.

I think there are some interesting lessons to learn about changing rationales in racism and the economic importance of the transnational Chinese community to China in terms of remittances and reinvestment in the home country.

I thought the book maybe over focused on S. Africa, but I put that down to that subject most likely having more archival resources.

There's a book by Carl Nightingale called Segregation. It was kind of dry, but it would be a good complement to Ngai's book. Overall if you have any interest in Chinese migration in the late 19th/early 20th century I would recommend Ngai's book.
