«On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family» is Lisa See's chronicle, published by Vintage in paperback.
Lisa See reconstructs a century of her Chinese-American family from stories heard in her childhood in Los Angeles's Chinatown and interviews with nearly a hundred relatives. The narrative spans from her great-great-grandfather's arrival in 1867 to the commercial empire of his son Fong See, with secret marriages, racism, and the meeting of two cultures.
This Vintage edition (1996) reproduces the work originally published by St. Martin's Press in 1995 and includes 82 photographs.
For readers of family memoirs and US social history, especially the experience of the Chinese community in California.
