Dr. Jung's family ran a laundry in Macon, Georgia and he will be discussing his new book on this subject. "Chinese Laundries: Tickets to Survival on Gold Mountain" This book examines how the laundry became the “ticket” into mainstream society for the Chinese immigrants from about the 1850s to 1950s that enabled them to overcome and survive many obstacles. It will examine the origins of Chinese laundries and their role in the economic, social, and psychological status of earlier Chinese immigrants and their families here and in China. First- and second-hand accounts of the experiences of immigrants and their families who worked, and often lived close to, or in, above, below, or behind, their laundries provide an understanding of how much the laundry men and women achieved despite poverty, racial discrimination, and cultural isolation.
