{"product_id":"chinese-americans-in-the-heartland-huping-ling-9781978826281","title":"Chinese Americans in the Heartland: Migration, Work, and Community","description":"The term \"Heartland\" in American cultural context conventionally tends to provoke imageries of corn-fields, flat landscape, hog farms, and rural communities, along with ideas of conservatism, homogeneity, and isolation. But as the Midwestern and Southern states experienced more rapid population growth than that in California, Hawaii, and New York in the recent decades, the Heartland region has emerged as a growing interest of Asian American studies. Focused on the Heartland cities of Chicago, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri, this book draws rich evidences from various government records, personal stories and interviews, and media reports, and sheds light on the commonalities and uniqueness of the region, as compared to the Asian American communities on the East and West Coast and Hawaii. Some of the poignant stories such as \"the Three Moy Brothers,\" \"Alla Lee,\" and \"Save Sam Wah Laundry\" told in the book are powerful reflections of Asian American history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Huping Ling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978826281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978826281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Huping Ling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078755578111,"sku":"9781978826281","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_015d4b38-58b4-44c8-a40e-bf26c808ec40.jpg?v=1685477329","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chinese-americans-in-the-heartland-huping-ling-9781978826281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
