Asian American History 101


Thanks for tuning in to our podcast!

May 1, 2023

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 17. In this episode we continue focusing on the Tong Wars in New York by discussing more of the people, events, and attitudes that escalated tension between the On Leong Tong and the Hip Sing Tong… and we finally talk about the First Tong War! Covering six bloody years, the first Tong War was fought over the control of gambling in Chinatown. We highly recommend the Scott Seligman book Tong Wars: The Untold Story of Vice, Money and Murder in New York's Chinatown.
