	Jade Snow Wong Summary
		Jade Snow Wong(Chinese: 黃玉雪; pinyin: Huáng Yùxuě; 1922- 16 March 2006) was an American ceramicist and author of two volumes of autobiography.
		[Jade Snow's] varied interests stimulate some fascinating insights about people and things Oriental [in No Chinese Stranger]—on the unexpected artistry of hotel tea trays and potted plants, for example, or on the delectable cuisines or impressive old palaces, or on confidence and vigor she found in many Chinese today.
		Running through the narrative is Jade Snow's growing awareness of her identity as a Chinese-American, achieving a sort of balance within her dual heritage.

		Wong wanted to be more like an American, but her parents really didn't like the way she changed -- they didn't want her to assimilate into American culture.
		Her parents worried that, if Wong became Americanized, then their other children would be Americanized, and they would lose their Chinese heritage.
		Wong rebelled against this attitude, and said to her parents, "This is America, not China!...Both of you should understand that I am growing up to be a woman in a society greatly different from the one you knew in China" (33).

		In 1952 the US State Department, having already negotiated for the rights to publish Fifth Chinese Daughter in a number of Asian languages, arranged a speaking tour for Wong in forty-five Asian locales from Tokyo to Karachi, where she was to testify to the benefits of American democracy from the perspective of a Chinese American.

		Both Wong and Lim critique the construction of a singular, monolingual Asian American identity even though they seem to have taken apparently opposing positions in the debates on the paradigm shifts.
		Cheung's remarks, like Wong and Lim's contentions, help reveal that the prominent problematic features of cultural nationalism lie in its uncritical appropriation of dominant ideologies and their binary framework in its rhetoric for redefining Asian American identity.
		At the same time, the narratives are accompanied by long shots of erotic scenes of gay men in the park, their racial identities are deliberately ambiguous, resisting codes of race, gender, age, and class which mark categories of power, desirability, or inferiority and undesirability.
