Dreams to Ashes: The 1871 Los Angeles Chinatown Massacre
Livia Blackburne
This picture-book history introduces Chinese immigrants living in nineteenth-century Los Angeles and recounts anti-Chinese violence in 1871. Racist newspaper commentary helped intensify xenophobia toward Chinese Americans before a mob attacked Chinatown and killed eighteen Chinese men. Earth-toned illustrations, made with ink and digital techniques, accompany this account of the massacre.
