Exclusion rules: Alyssa A Hunziker, ‘Chinese Exclusion, Indigeneity, and Settler-Colonial Refusal in C Pam Zhang’s How Much of These Hills is Gold’, MELUS, 2023

Excerpt: C Pam Zhang’s How Much of These Hills Is Gold (2020) begins with a simple epigraph: “This land is not your land.” More than just a contestation of the Woody Guthrie classic folk song “This Land Is Your Land” recorded in 1944, the novel comes at a time of increasing national conversation about land ownership and the United States’ settler-colonial present.
