With case studies from the USA, Canada, Chile, and other countries
in Latin America, American Chinese Restaurants examines the lived
experiences of what it is like to work in a Chinese restaurant. The
book provides ethnographic insights on small family businesses,
struggling immigrant parents, and kids working, living, and growing
up in an American Chinese restaurant. This is the first book based
on personal histories to document and analyze the American Chinese
restaurant world. New narratives by various international and
American contributors have presented Chinese restaurants as dynamic
agencies that raise questions on identity, ethnicity,
transnationalism, industrialization, (post)modernity, assimilation,
public and civic spheres, and socioeconomic differences. American
Chinese Restaurants will be of interest to general readers,
scholars, and college students from undergraduate to graduate
level, who wish to know Chinese restaurant life and understand the
relationship between food and society.
