Summary

"The woman warrior ... is Kingston's disturbing and fiercely beautiful account of growing up Chinese-American in California. The young Kingston lives in two worlds: the America to which her parents have immigrated and the China of her mother's 'talk stories.' ... China men ... is Kingston's unforgettable imaginative journey into the hearts and minds of generations of Chinese men in America .... Mixing vivid fables and legends, personal stories from her own family, and historical details, Kingston illuminates their long, arduous search for the Gold Mountain."--Front flap of jacket
