介绍：“这是一部真正令人大开眼界和引人入胜的作品，它使我们得以一窥那些几近狂妄的名人——政治家、科学家、建筑师及企业家，而他们正是我们这个世界的造型师。

当我了解这个庞大的项目只是由一个人来完成的时候，这完全超乎了我理性知觉的空间。诚如作者所表露的，生命于他是一场真实与幻想、浮面与内里潜藏的神秘不断交织的过程。这也使得他的作品产生了独特惊人的心灵撞击效果，他清楚地呈现出了我们这个时代最具才华、最具挑战性的人物的所言所思，他们的表象与真实面。

Introduction: In Remaking Chinese America, Xiaojian Zhao explores the myriad forces that changed and unified Chinese Americans during a key period in American history. Prior to 1940, this immigrant community was predominantly made, but between 1940 and 1965 it was transformed into a family-centered American ethnic community. Zhao pays special attention to forces both inside and outside of the country in order to explain these changing demographics. Careful attention is paid to evolving gender roles, since women constituted the majority of newcomers, significatnly changing the sex ratio of the Chinese American population. In defining the political circumstances that brought the Chinese together as a cohesive political body, Zhao delves into the complexities they faced when questioning their personal national allegiances during World War II and the Communist takeover of mainland China. Remaking Chinese America uses a wealth of primary sources, including oral histories, newspapers, genealogical documents, and immigration files to illuminate what it was like to be Chinese living in the United States during a period that – unti now – has been little studied.
