}}Peter Kwong ({{zh|t=鄺治中|s=邝治中}}; 1941–2017) was a professor of Asian American studies and urban affairs and planning at Hunter College in New York City, as well as a professor of sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.[1]

Born in Chungking, China,[2] he was a pioneer in Asian American studies, a leading scholar of immigration, and an award-winning journalist and filmmaker of Chinese descent. He was widely recognized for his passionate commitment to human rights and social justice.[3]

His best known scholarly work is on Chinese Americans and on modern Chinese politics. His books include:

  • Chinese America: The Untold Story of America’s Oldest New Community ({{ISBN|1565849620}});
  • Chinese Americans: An Immigrant Experience , co-authored with his wife, Chinese historian Dusanka Miscevic. ({{ISBN|0883631288}});
  • Forbidden Workers: Illegal Chinese Immigrants and American Labor ({{ISBN|156584355X}});
  • The New Chinatown ({{ISBN|0809015854}});
  • Chinatown, New York: Labor and Politics, 1930-1950 ({{ISBN|1565846400}}).

He was a frequent contributor to The Nation and The International Herald Tribune and wrote a bi-weekly column on Asia, syndicated worldwide by Agence Global. His exposés of Chinese drug syndicates and Los Angeles racial riots were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Kwong was also a documentary filmmaker, a recipient of a CINE Golden Eagle Award, and most recently a co-producer of The Tears of Sichuan Province for HBO, which was nominated for an Academy Award in 2010. His 1980 television film, “Third Avenue: Only the Strong Survive,” won an Emmy Award.
