"Chinese in America" Book Review For instance, in describing the experience of Taiwanese students in the US colleges, she asserts that "American food repulsed them" and quotes the wife of a graduate student who "almost threw up when served a dessert of cored apples".

With her new book, The Chinese in America, she recounts a less controversial but still painful tale: that of the Chinese Americans and their quintessential American story of search for justice and acceptance by fellow Americans. www.yellowbridge.com /literature/chinese-in-america-review.html   (1205 words)
