Produktbeschreibung
Bitter Creek, a lyric Chinese epic of the American West, reveals the devastating realities of the 1885 Rock Springs Massacre. In September of 1885, the Chinese coal miners who were brought in as strikebreakers were ambushed and driven out of the town at gunpoint by white coal miners. Bitter Creek revisits this dark episode--known today as the Rock Springs Massacre--revealing the stories beneath this violent, decade-long culmination of labor struggles and racial hostilities in the Union Pacific Coal Mines. Through the eyes of the struggling railroad workers, their families, and the corporation working them to the bone, Teow Lim Goh creates an ode to buried history that blends epic tradition with modern composition and astonishing empathy to ask the question, "What turns ordinary people into monsters?"
