Summary |
"This vivid first-person account addresses multiple themes through the lens of Wong's personal stories. During the height of racist anti-Chinese US immigration laws, illegal aliens were able to come into the United States under false papers identifying them as the sons of those who had returned to China to marry and have children. American Paper Son is the story of one such Chinese immigrant who came to Wichita, Kansas, in 1935 as a thirteen-year-old 'paper son' to help in his father's restaurant there." |
