In honor of Women’s History Month, the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) invites you to an engaging conversation with historian Charlotte Brooks, Professor of History at Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center, on her new book, The Moys of New York and Shanghai One Family’s Extraordinary Journey Through War and Revolution. Through the remarkable story of the Moy family, Brooks traces the lives of Chinese Americans who moved back and forth across the Pacific during the first half of the twentieth century, navigating racism in the United States, political upheaval in China, and shifting ideas of citizenship, belonging, and home.
