From Canton Restaurant to Panda Express takes readers on a
compelling journey from the California Gold Rush to the present,
letting readers witness both the profusion of Chinese restaurants
across the United States and the evolution of many distinct
American-Chinese iconic dishes from chop suey to General Tso's
chicken. Along the way, historian Haiming Liu explains how the
immigrants adapted their traditional food to suit local palates,
and gives readers a taste of Chinese cuisine embedded in the
bittersweet story of Chinese Americans. Treating food as a social
history, Liu explores why Chinese food changed and how it has
influenced American culinary culture, and how Chinese restaurants
have become places where shared ethnic identity is affirmed - not
only for Chinese immigrants but also for American Jews. The book
also includes a look at national chains like P. F. Chang's and a
consideration of how Chinese food culture continues to spread
around the globe. Drawing from hundreds of historical and
contemporary newspaper reports, journal articles, and writings on
food in both English and Chinese, From Canton Restaurant to Panda
Express represents a groundbreaking piece of scholarly research. It
can be enjoyed equally as a fascinating set of stories about
Chinese migration, cultural negotiation, race and ethnicity,
diverse flavored Chinese cuisine and its share in American food
market today.
