{"product_id":"making-an-american-festival-chiou-ling-yeh-9780520253513","title":"Making an American Festival: Chinese New Year in San Francisco's Chinatown","description":"This provocative history of the largest annual Chinese celebration in the United States--the Chinese New Year parade and beauty pageant in San Francisco--opens a new window onto the evolution of one Chinese American community over the second half of the twentieth century. In a vividly detailed account that incorporates many different voices and perspectives, Chiou-ling Yeh explores the origins of these public events and charts how, from their beginning in 1953, they developed as a result of Chinese business community ties with American culture, business, and politics. What emerges is a fascinating picture of how an ethnic community shaped and was shaped by transnational and national politics, economics, ethnic movements, feminism, and queer activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chiou-Ling Yeh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520253515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520253513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.06w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/10\/2008 pg. 20","brand":"Chiou-Ling Yeh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992210931967,"sku":"9780520253513","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74036dec-be9a-458d-95d8-b7931250e1e4.jpg?v=1683314670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-an-american-festival-chiou-ling-yeh-9780520253513","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
