Description: In this collection of essays, memoirs, and poetry, Chinese women from a variety of fields and backgrounds reflect upon issues of identity, race, ethnicity, and class. Their migratory histories are presented in this interdisciplinary collection of texts in distinctive voices: law professor, journalist, historian, poet, choreographer, film scholar, tai-chi practitioner, translator, writer, and literary scholar. The contributors were born in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong; they have been immigrants, foreign students, permanent residents, and-above all-travelers.
