Agency through Otherness: Portraits of Performers in Circus Route Books, 1875-1925

Chinese Performers

This tag represents the exhibit author's unofficial variant of the LCSH tag "Foreign workers, Chinese" (https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85003509.html). We find the official heading offered by LCSH is limiting and unnecessarily othering of non-citizen performers from China, who were often denied the opportunity to pursue citizenship by racist US foreign policy.
