Inhaltsangabe

The Chinaman Pacific and Frisco R.R. Co. runs the mainline of Chinese American history ad befuddled Chinese American experience through the “Chinatown-of-the-Mind” depot stop. A Chinatown where kids dream of growing up to be Charlie Chan’s Number One Son, Gunga Din and Suzie Wong; where old immigrants meet at a downtown movie theater every day and learn English watching cartoons; where “assimilation” is a storefront Chinatown Buddhist church going electronic and getting rich. Ride the flaming rails with the Chinaman artist, working on the railroad while struggling with white food, white music, white history and white stereotypes.
