- Abstract
"Chinese Americans in the Heartland: Migration, Work, and Community" by Huping Ling explores the experiences of Chinese immigrants in the Midwest, focusing on their occupations, family life, community organizations, and cultural differences from urban coastal Chinatowns. The author conducted extensive research using various archival materials and personal interviews, shedding light on little-known details such as the practice of bringing concubines as "American" wives. The book also discusses the economic networking system between South China and the United States, as well as the transformation of Chinatowns with the arrival of post-1965 immigrants. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the complexities and evolution of Chinese American communities in the heartland.
