Goldsmith's Friend Abroad Again

Description of the book

Mark Twain's 'Goldsmith's Friend Abroad Again' is a poignant yet humorous short story that tackles the issue of mass immigration during the 19th century in America. Twain uses his genius in humor and subtlety to present the story of an idealistic Chinese immigrant who faces prejudice and anti-immigrant violence, advocating against unfair treatment and persuading readers to demand for a system represented and implemented by those who truly value American ideals. The relevance to today's politics is striking as Twain's portrayal of American policemen and their opposition to immigrants echoes the sentiments of certain groups towards immigrants today.
