Chasing the American Dream in China: Chinese Americans in the Ancestral Homeland

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Few studies have highlighted the stories of middle-class children of immigrants who move to their ancestral homelands. Chasing the American Dream in China addresses this gap by examining the lives of highly educated American-born Chinese professionals who 'return' to the People's Republic of China to build their careers.
