Routledge Love Across Borders - Routledge Asian American Sociology Book

Explore the complex realities of Asian American identity in Love Across Borders by Kelly H. Chong. Published by Routledge, this book challenges common assumptions regarding high rates of intermarriage and the concept of assimilation. While many view intermarriage with Whites as a sign of successful integration into the White mainstream, this work provides a different perspective. By comparing interracial and interethnic intermarriages, the text reveals how these unions serve as sites of struggle regarding racial and ethnic identity. It examines how cultural formations develop within these families and demonstrates the lasting impact of race on the lives of Asian Americans. This book is an essential resource for those studying the social sciences, anthropology, and the evolving dynamics of family-making in a diverse society.
