A new book by Patrick Radden Keefe, "The Snakehead: An Epic Tale of the Chinatown Underworld and the American Dream," highlights York in the campaign to secure human rights for hundreds of Chinese dissidents seeking political asylum.
Keefe is the first to write a book on the politics, international intrigue and human drama of the refugees of the Golden Venture.
Keefe will speak and sign books from 2 to 4 p.m. Aug. 2 at the York Historical Society Museum, 250 E. Market St., York. Several of the Golden Venture immigrants, political insiders, and members of The People of the Golden Vision will also speak.
