Produktbeschreibung
Hung Cam Thai takes a closer look at marriage and migration, with a focus on the unions between Vietnamese men living in the United States and the women who marry them. Weaving together personal stories, he underscores the ironies and challenges that these unions face.

These men speak about wanting "traditional" wives who they hope will recognize their gendered authority. Meanwhile, young Vietnamese college-educated women express a preference for men of the same ethnicity but with a more liberal outlook on gender-men they imagine they will find in the United States.
