Of Orphans and Warriors

Inventing Chinese-American Culture and Identity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Of Orphans and Warriors explores the social and cultural history of largely urban, American-born Chinese from the 1930s through the 1990s, focusing primarily on those living in California. Chun thus opens a window onto the ways in which these Americans born of Chinese ancestry negotiated their identity over a half century.
