Chineseness Across Borders: Renegotiating Chinese Identities in China and the United States by Andrea Louie [in AsianWeek]

Chineseness Across BordersWhile the tidbits of personal narratives are the most interesting, Louie’s extensively researched treatise explores the ever-changing Chinese American identity. Drawing on the experiences of a group of American-born Chinese (including herself) who return to their respective ancestral villages, Louie explores the notions of what it means to be Chinese in America and Chinese American in China in a new world that becomes ever-global.
