ASIAN AMERICA: THE KEN FONG PODCAST

EP 527: Activist Artist & Author Nancy Wang On The History Of Chinese In The Monterey Bay Fishing Villages

30 Mar 2025

Description

Bay Area artist and activist Nancy Wang has recently written a captivating fictional historical account of the Chinese who built and worked out of the fishing villages in the Monterey Bay area during the 1850s in California. Entitled Red Altar, her book brings to life the experiences of these early pioneers from China, including her fiesty multilingual ancestor who was the first Chinese American female born in California, and who made a name for herself as "Spanish Mary." If you'd like to buy an autographed copy of Red Altar, just go to www.ethnotec.org.
