Growing Up in San Francisco's Chinatown: Boomer Memories from Noodle Rolls to Apple Pie, Hardcover
de: Edmund S. Wong
Publicat de: History Press Library Editions
Anunta-ma cand revine pe stoc!Chinese American baby boomers who grew up within the twenty-nine square blocks of San Francisco's Chinatown lived in two worlds. Elders implored the younger generation to retain ties with old China even as the youth felt the pull of a future sheathed in red, white and blue. The family-owned shops, favorite siu-yeh (snack) joints and the gai-chongs where mothers labored as low-wage seamstresses contrasted with the allure of Disney, new cars and football. It was a childhood immersed in two vibrant cultures and languages, shaped by both. Author Edmund S. Wong brings to life Chinatown's heart and soul from its golden age.
