Sunday, November 1 at the Museum of Chinese in America


If you're in New York, the Museum of Chinese in America invites you to a talk and book signing with Jean Lau Chin of NYC Chinatown Oral History Project, whose book Who are the Cantonese Chinese?: NYC Chinatown During the 1940s-60s explores the lives of Chinese New Yorkers in the 1940s-60s, and how this "jook sing" generation navigated the space in between and in their lives in New York.
