Originally published in 1950, Fifth Chinese Daughter was one of the most widely read works by an Asian American author in the twentieth century. The US State Department even sent its charismatic young author on a four-month speaking tour throughout Asia. Cited as an influence by prominent Chinese American writers such as Amy Tan and Maxine Hong Kingston, Fifth Chinese Daughter is a foundational work in Asian American literature. It was written at a time when few portraits of Asian American life were available, and no similar works were as popular and broadly appealing. This new edition includes the original illustrations by Kathryn Uhl and features an introduction by Leslie Bow, who critically examines the changing reception and enduring legacy of the book and offers insight into Wong's life as an artist and an ambassador of Chinese American culture."-- $c From Amazon. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Wong, Jade Snow. 650 0 $a Potters $z California $v Biography. 650 0 $a Chinese American women $v Biography. 700 1 $a Bow, Leslie, $d 1962- $e writer of introduction. 830 0 $a Classics of Asian American literature 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230503011520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ACCE20C8A55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
