What is The Indispensable Enemy : Labor and the Anti-Chinese Movement in California about?

**Winner, Silver Medal, California Book Awards—Commonwealth Club of California** With a foreword by William Deverell __The Indispensable Enemy__ examines the anti-Chinese confrontation on the Pacific Coast as it was experienced and rationalized by the white majority. Focusing on the Democratic party and the labor movement of California through the forty-year period after the Civil War, Alexander Saxton explores aspects of the Jacksonian background which proves crucial to an understanding of what occurred in California. __The Indispensable Enemy__ looks beyond the turn of the 19th century to trace results of the sequence of events in the West for the labor movement as a whole, influencing events that led to the crystallization of an American concept of national identity.
