Family Tightrope

"The first book devoted exclusively to the study of changing family household, gender, and generational relations within the Vietnamese-American community. It is valuable not only because it shatters the stereotype of the unchanging Confucian family but also because it provides a testable framework for tracing patterns of relative economic success and failure in Vietnamese and possibly other communities."--James Freeman, author ofHearts of Sorrow: Vietnamese-American Lives "This book is valuable not only because it shatters the stereotype of the unchanging Confucian family but also because it provides a testable framework for tracing patterns of relative economic success and failure in Vietnamese and possibly other communities. This is an excellent book. I recommend it highly."--James Freeman, San Jose State UniversityNazli Kibria is the author of 'Family Tightrope', published 1995 under ISBN 9780691021157 and ISBN 0691021155.
