Rezensionen
"This seminal work on underground banks in New York's Chinatown sheds light not only on the inner workings of a secretive banking system, but also on the broader issues of human smuggling, organized crime, and national security. Through the examination of the transnational movement of money, Linda Shuo Zhao provides a rich and nuanced account of the lives of smuggled Chinese in the United States."
