Unwilling to see Asian American women silenced beneath the noisy
discourses of feminists, cultural nationalists, and Eurocentric
historians, Wendy Ho turns to specific spoken stories of mothers
and daughters. Against reductive tendencies of scholarship, she
places her own conversations with her China-born grandmother and
her U.S.-born mother and her own readings of other Asian American
women writers. She finds in the writings of Maxine Hong Kingston,
Amy Tan, and Fae Myenne Ng not only complex mother-daughter
relationships but many-faceted relationships to fathers, family,
community, and culture. Always resisting the simplistic
explanations, In Her Mother's House brings Asian American women's
experience as mothers and daughters to the forefront of gender and
ethnicity.
