The Chinese American Family Album

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lord, Bette Bao / Hoobler, Thomas / Hoobler, Dorothy, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The Chinese American Family Album is a scrapbook of family letters and diary entries, official documents, newspaper articles, and excerpts from literature of the past and present--a personal remembrance of an extended family of Chinese immigrants and their descendants. As we read, we begin to know this family almost as well as our own. The letters written by the new immigrants to the folks left behind in China allow us to feel the ache of leaving home and family behind. Clippings from newspapers and personal memories tell of the pain and fear and prejudice in the new country. We learn about the building of the transcontinental railroad and how Chinese immigrants were the backbone of the work force, tailing long hours under the worst conditions. We see Chinatowns spring up wherever the immigrants landed, and we see how the traditions and culture of China were both preserved and altered as the immigrants became Americanized. But we also share the joy of first sighting the new homeland. We follow families through the generations and see how they are living now and what they have brought to our country. We read about famous Chinese Americans who have risen to the top of their fields, such as athlete Michael Chang, author Amy Tan, musician Yo-Yo Ma, and Senator Hiram Fong. And we see wonderful faces--husbands alone in the new world, families reunited, new babies, grandparents. The unique, carefully researched photographs make the participants in the Chinese American experience real people who have an impact on our lives. Thomas and Dorothy Hoobler's The Chinese American Family Album makes the past experiences of these immigrants--and those of their sons and daughters in all the generations since--as real and immediate as the stories told by a favorite grandmother. They bring us in, like an embrace, to the all-encompassing, ever-growing, multicultural family of Americans.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Topping, Seymour, PUBLISHER: PublicAffairs, In this historical novel of the Chinese civil war, a young American scholar, Eric Jensen, who is studying ancient Chinese philosophy and art, falls in love with a Chinese revolutionary and is unexpectedly drawn by her into a desperate struggle to save Peking from destruction. Jensen's journey takes him across remote battlefields where the armies of Mao Tse-tung and Chiang Kai-shek are locked in enormous battles, through allies under Communist siege, and along the byways of old Peking from imperial palaces to elegant brothels.

Seymour Topping, a renowned journalist who covered the Chinese civil war, creates in this novel a vivid, panoramic picture of revolutionary China. The Peking Letter is at once a love story, a spy thriller, and a remarkable view of a society on the brink of social and cultural transformation.
