Chinatown Family is told with humor and wisdom, addressing the issues of culture, race, and religion - the story of an immigrant, working-class Chinese-American family that settled in New York City during the 1930s and 1940s. It traces their sometimes troubled - and sometimes rewarding - journey and all the wonder and the woe of settling into a new land. In an era when interracial marriages were frowned upon and it was forbidden for working-class Chinese men to bring their families to America, this story shows how one family were determined to become new Americans, by applying their Taoist philosophy to resist the discriminatory laws and racism they encountered peacefully. Is it possible to attain the American dream of material wealth and modest success as well as honouring the primary ties of family? For each family member, the answer to this question is different. Through the varied paths that each character takes, the novel dramatises the ways that Chinese immigrants have negotiated between the competing interests of economic opportunity and traditional values.
