Gold Mountain in the Desert: A History of the Chinese in Arizona Vol 2″ captures the stories of Chinese families who helped shape communities across Arizona from the 1880s to today. Vol. 2 documents how Chinese families transitioned from early mining, railroad, and agricultural labor camps into permanent urban and rural neighborhoods. It highlights specific family and personal stories that shaped local commerce, markets, and social structures in a historically hostile social environment. Without doubt, Vol. 2 is an important historical record and serves as a record of a community’s resilience against racial discrimination and economic marginalization… histories that must be preserved, and not allowed to fade away. Written and edited by local historian Donna L. Carr, this book is published by the Chinese United Association of Greater Phoenix. It is distributed through historical societies and preservation groups, such as the Pioneers’ Cemetery Association Gift Shop.
