What a Tiger Mother thinks is ferocity is just control-freakiness
turned rancid like frozen breast milk left in the mini Tupperware
too long. Tiger Mom, I'm just not that into you - "From Tiger
Babies Strike Back". After Amy Chua's controversial parenting book
became fodder for every morning talk show, Kim Wong Keltner wasn't
surprised to be asked, Are you a Tiger Mother? Raised by a Tiger
Mom herself, Kim wasn't fazed. Instead, she's striking back. Hard.
Traversing the choppy seas of American and Chinese traditions,
Keltner dives into the difficulties facing women today -
Chinese-American and otherwise. At once deeply relevant and
playfully honest, Keltner attempts to dispel Chua's myth that all
Chinese women are Tiger Mothers and that all parents should rule
with an iron fist. Topics include: White Thing, I Think I Love You:
East Meets West in the Board Room and the Bedroom; I Was Raised by
a Tiger Mom and All I Got Was this Lousy T-Shirt: A Rebuttal to
Chua, with More Anecdotes from the Wong Family Tree; My Car and Kid
Are Both Hybrids; Imperial Ferocity vs. Feminine Vulnerability:
Dragon Lady or Chinese Mary Magdalene? The first and only book of
its kind to take Tiger Mothers on by their teeth, "Tiger Babies
Strike Back" combines personal anecdotes and tough love advice for
a humorous, provocative look at how our families shape-and
sometimes shake-our personal foundations.
