Know about the book -

The Chinese Must Go is written by Beth Lew-Williams and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674919920 (ISBN 10) and 9780674919921 (ISBN 13).

Beth Lew-Williams shows how American immigration policies incited violence against Chinese workers, and how that violence provoked new exclusionary policies. Locating the origins of the modern American “alien” in this violent era, she makes clear that the present resurgence of xenophobia builds mightily upon past fears of the “heathen Chinaman.”
