"In the late nineteenth century the borderlands between the United States, the British
Empire in Canada, and the Asia-Pacific Rim emerged as a crossroads of the Pacific
world. In Pacific Connections, Kornel Chang tells the dramatic stories of the laborers,
merchants, smugglers, and activists who crossed these borders into the twentieth century,
and the American and British empire-builders who countered them by hardening racial
and national lines. But even as settler societies attempted to control the processes
of imperial integration, their project fractured under its contradictions. Migrant
workers and radical activists pursued a transnational politics through the very networks
that made empire possible. Charting the U.S.-Canadian borderlands from above and below,
Pacific Connections reveals the messiness of imperial formation and the struggles
it spawned from multiple locations and through different actors across the Pacific
world."--Publisher description
