Chinese in America: Michael Luo, author and New Yorker executive editor
Conversation with Michael Luo, Executive Editor at The New Yorker and the author of a landmark work of American history, Strangers in the Land: Exclusion, Belonging, and the Epic Story of the Chinese in America (2025).
New York State Author Min Jin Lee said, “This is the moving story of a people’s persistence and resistance — how individuals, families, and changing communities looked hard at rejection, endured violence, consumed daily bitterness, and yet sought the higher purposes of humanity and better lives.... Luo’s book serves as a witness of how powerful the love and aspirations of immigrants make real the most beautiful promises of a new homeland.”
Winner of a George Polk Award in Journalism, Luo writes regularly for the New Yorker about politics, religion and the Asian American experience.
Cosponsored by the UAlbany Departments of East Asian Studies and History of the College of Arts and Sciences.
