Here is a description from Amazon about the reissued edition: "Chinatown Stories is a book written by Marjorie R. Johnson and published in 1900. The book is a collection of short stories that take place in San Francisco's Chinatown at the turn of the 20th century. The stories explore the lives of Chinese immigrants and their struggles to assimilate into American society while also maintaining their cultural identity. The characters in the stories include both Chinese immigrants and American-born Chinese, as well as Americans who interact with the Chinese community. The themes of the stories range from love and family to racism and discrimination. Through her vivid descriptions and empathetic portrayal of the characters, Johnson provides a unique glimpse into the daily lives of Chinese immigrants in early 20th century America. Overall, Chinatown Stories is a fascinating and insightful look at a little-known aspect of American history."
