This book examines the four waves of Chinese student migration to the United States since the late 1970s, showing how they were shaped by the profound changes in both nations and by US-China relations. It also discusses how student migrants with high socioeconomic status transformed Chinese American communities and challenged American immigration laws and race relations. By analysing and highlighting the increasing return and circular migration since the mid-1990s it revises the traditional linear model of studying immigration as a one-way assimilation process.
