		Chinese Americans constitute one group of the Overseas Chinese and are a subgroup of Asian Americans.

		Chinese Americans are divided among many subgroups based on factors such as generation, place of origin, socio-economic level, and do not have uniform attitudes about the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China, the United States, or Chinese nationalism, with attitudes varying widely between active support, hostility, or indifference.

	The History of Chinese Immigration -- Brown Quarterly -- v. 3, no. 4 -- Spring 2000
		The Chinese often emigrated in self-help groups from the same village, often with the same surname.

		Few Chinese Americans were able to become independent farmers, because most were not citizens and were prevented from owning land by local laws and restrictive covenants.

		Despite her focus on Asian American characters, the issues that Jen confronts are significant to Asian Americans in varying degrees.
		In particular, the narrator’s unrelentingly dry sarcasm may be an honest ambush on readers who are children of Chinese immigrants: “Of course, I understand I am just lucky, come from a country where the food is popular all over the world.
		While her characters are not necessarily afforded a singularly Asian American viewpoint, Jen says that her Chinese heritage is inseparable from the way she perceives the creative process itself.

	The Perpetual Stranger -- A Chinese American's Letter from Paris
		An American writer moving to Paris looked forward to a city of romance and luxury, but found she couldn't shake her "outsider" status among the French.
		Like many Americans, I believed Paris was a romantic city de luxe, a place where the heart and the imagination could take flight and, if one had money, a place where one could really live.
		That may work for brandade de morue, but it violates the first principle of Chinese cuisine that food be fresh and just-cooked, as any self-respecting Chinese cook (or chowhound) from San Francisco to the Bronx knows.

	Unbound Feet: A Social History of Chinese Women in San Francisco by Judy Yung, ISBN: 0520088670 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Through Unbound Feet, Judy Yung explores the history of Chinese American women in San Francisco from the turn of the century to the Second World War using the Chinese custom of footbinding and the gradual steps away from this tradition as an outline for her narrative.
		However, Chinese women were patriotic to their country, as Yung proves, and while they were assimilating many aspects of American culture, they also held onto much of the culture from their home country.
		Being a second-generation Chinese American woman, it is possible that Yung uses Unbound Feet as an attempt to somewhat glorify the history of Chinese American women.
