Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, large numbers of people from mainland China emigrated to the United States and other countries seeking employment. Termed "overseas Chinese," they made lasting contributions to the development of early communities, an impact which has only begun to be recognized in recent years. "Chinatowns," rural mining claims, work camps for railroad and other construction activities, salmon canneries and shrimp camps, laundries, stores, cook shacks, cemeteries, and temples are only some of the sites where traces of their presence can be found. In recent years, numerous archaeological and historical investigations of the overseas Chinese have taken place, and "Hidden Heritage" presents the results of some of those studies.

A fresh perspective on British history from award-winning broadcaster Fatima Manji Why was there a Turkish mosque adorning Britain's most famous botanic garden in the eighteenth century? How did a pair of Persian-inscribed cannon end up in rural Wales? And who is the Moroccan man depicted in a long-forgotten portrait hanging in a west London stately home? Throughout Britain's museums, civic buildings and stately homes, relics can be found that reveal the diversity of pre-twentieth-century Britain and expose the misconceptions around modern immigration narratives. In her journey across Britain exploring cultural landmarks, Fatima Manji searches for a richer and more honest story of a nation struggling with identity and the legacy of empire.

Deals with the consequences of forced conversion, exile, and secrecy resulting from the Spanish Inquisition, particularly among the Latino population of the American Southwest. Presents a psychosocial study of attempts to recover Jewish spirituality and identity, stressing the role of women in cultural preservation. Notes parallels with the second generation after the Holocaust. Ch. 1 (pp. 21-41), "Secrecy, Antisemitism, and the Dangers of Jewishness", provides the historical background for the study of 20th-century crypto-Jews. Discusses the Inquisition's persecution of crypto-Jews, and continuing anti-Jewish prejudice in the Spanish-speaking world that has made the concealment of Jewish identity a continuing phenomenon up to the present day.
