### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    You get your money’s worth with this book
  

*by V***I on Reviewed in India on 8 April 2024*

This an action packed story about the tenacity, daring and resourcefulness of the chinese people. No doubt these are illegal migrants but these Chinese people are so hardworking and they save their earnings and within a short span of time they are flourishing in America while the native Americans are drowning in poverty and self pity. They should be welcomed in America because they inject fresh blood into a decaying society that is full of inequalities. The American dream is very much alive but it won’t fall into your lap. The American dream belongs to the sort of migrants, legal or otherwise that manage to enter USA. I throughly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent non fiction
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on 6 January 2024*

If you are considering trying to read more non fiction in 2024, I cannot recommend books by Patrick Radden Keefe more. His books are enlightening and well researched, but they are also told in such a narrative style that I cannot put them down.The Snakehead is about human smuggling rings in the 80s and 90s that were centered in Chinatown in New York. It did an excellent job of setting up why there was (a) a demand for Chinese immigration to the US and (b) why the us immigration system created a market for smugglers instead of legal paths of immigration. Even though I teach a lot of the background information, I still learned so much about 19th century migration patterns and the ways the US blocked Asian migration, I still learned so much. The Snakehead also followed the rise and downfall of some of the most prolific smugglers, and following their careers and the US attempts to catch them was fascinating.This book had it all - gangs, smuggling, crime, murder, so much! It was, like all of Keefe’s books, so fascinating. Add it to your TBR’s!!

    Compelling
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in Canada on 10 October 2023*

Well researched and written and very compelling story. Initially thought that the subject matter might be a bit dry but it's so preposterous that it's almost unbelievable. Interesting as well as thought provoking (were they political refugees or illegal immigrants?)
