About Me

After a career of over 40 years as an academic psychologist, I started a new career as a public historian of Chinese American history that led to five Yin & Yang Press books and over 100 book talks about the lives of early Chinese immigrants and their families operating laundries, restaurants, and grocery stores. This blog contains more research of interest to supplement my books.

About

 John Jung is the author of five books on important aspects of the history of Chinese in America that he published after retiring from a 40-year career as a professor of psychology. His approach to history goes beyond dates and events to examine the life experiences of Chinese immigrants.

The goal of Yin & Yang Press books is to further the understanding and appreciation of how they coped in the face of anti-Chinese prejudices to succeed by operating family businesses such as laundries, grocery stores, and restaurants.
