Description: The Lonely Queue is an unprecedented history book which presents the vibrant and diverse contribution of the 150 years of Chinese Americans in the Greater Los Angeles area. It features bilingual text (English and Chinese) with hundreds of vintage photographs, and personal memories depicting the struggle of Chinese Americans making America their home. It uncovers many hidden and nearly forgotten historical accounts that have been absent from history books and the general public knowledge. The Los Angeles Times described it as a bilingual book that celebrates the Chinese American community of Southern California with the intimacy of a family album and the authority of a historical monograph. 2002 Clarion Award Winner in non-fiction book category 2001 Independent Publisher Book Award Finalist in multicultural non-fiction category.
