What does it mean to be Chinese American in this moment? Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly, Yellow Face, Kung Fu) joins author and former White House speechwriter Eric Liu to investigate.
From Zappos CEO Tony Hseih to “tiger mom” Amy Chua to the Houston Rockets’ Jeremy Lin, Chinese Americans are now arriving at the highest levels of American business, civic life and culture—at the same moment when China has emerged at the center of the global scene.
Copies of Eric Liu’s A Chinaman’s Chance: One Family’s Journey and the Chinese American Dream will be available for purchase and Liu will sign copies following the event.
