 uncovers its peasant history. With remarkable footprints, Chong traces his 
 family’s five generation migrations to America. Following 
 great-great-great and great-great grandfathers who worked as laborers in 
 gold fields during the California Gold Rush and the Far West’s 
 Transcontinental Railroad.\n\nThen during the restrictive Chinese Exclusion

 Students Educational Services (OASES). He is coauthor of the newly 
 published book, Chop Suey and Sushi from Sea to Shining Sea: Chinese and 
 Japanese Restaurants in the United States, published by University of 
 Arkansas Press. Author, historian, poet, lyricist and filmmaker, Chong’s
