DESCRIPTION:The book\, Chinatown\, San Jose\, USA  By Connie Young Yu will
  be discussed.\n\nChinatown\, San Jose\, USA focuses on the Chinese settle
 ment of Heinlenville (located within the boundaries of today's San Jose Ja
 pantown). The author draws on family records\, correspondence\, oral inter
 views with former residents\, and newspaper accounts from 1887 to 1931. Th
 e book describes the formation and demise of Heinlenville within the conte
 xt of Chinese immigration and anti-Chinese legislation that set the stage 
 for discrimination against the Chinese in San Jose and in other cities in 
 California.\n \n Yu\, a third-generation Californian\, researches and writ
 es extensively on the role and experiences of Chinese-Americans. Much of h
 er work focuses on individuals who both shaped and were shaped by Heinlenv
 ille. A few of the colorful characters that have been captured in her stor
 ies include the town's founder\, John Heinlen\, a San Jose businessman and
  friend of the Chinese community\, and Sing Kee\, a Heinlenville resident 
 and World War I hero. \n \n Books may be purchased at the JAMsj museum sto
 re. If you have questions\, please contact Aggie Idemoto at or aggie@jamsj
