DIRECTIONS:
— After carefully reading George Peffer’s “Forbidden Families: Emigration Experiences of Chinese Women Under the Page Law, 1875-1882,” write a brief academic summary of the article. The précis should be no more than thirteen lines. In those thirteen lines, your task is to explain the article’s argument, the evidence used to support that argument, and the significance of that argument. With so little space, you’ll want to concentrate on your own words by paraphrasing, summarizing, and analyzing rather than using quotations. If you do use a quotation, please cite it with Chicago-style footnotes so that it doesn’t take up more of your limited space. Make sure you identify the thesis and explain how Peffer supports that thesis with specific references to his evidence (and maybe argumentation).
