Strangers in the City - The Atlanta Chinese, Their Community and Stories of Their Lives (Hardcover)

Based largely on oral history interviews and through the focus on Atlanta, this book provides new insights into the rise of the new Chinese and Asian communities in the Southeast United States since US immigration policy changes in 1965. It looks at the history of the Chinese in the South in general and life of the Atlanta Chinese in particular in an effort to bring awareness to the multiplying Asian population in the South-eastern US. This book provides a snapshot of the changes that are occurring in many Chinese communities. The immigrants today are no longer exclusively Cantonese, and their numbers include greater and greater numbers of immigrants from Taiwan, other parts of mainland China, Hong Kong, and other Asian countries and regions. The successful use of oral history interviews gives readers a glimpse of the life history trajectories of different individuals, and a new insight into the lives of women immigrants.
