Sons of Chinatown: A Memoir Rooted in China and America

Sons of Chinatown poignantly weaves the stories of father and son together with admiration and righteous anger. Through the mirrored lens of his father, Wong reflects on the hardships Asian Americans endured—and continue to face—with American exceptionalism. Wong’s inspiring memoir provides a personal history that also raises the question of whether America welcomes or repels immigrants.

William Gee Wong will be joined in conversation with Frank H. Wu, President of Queens College/CUNY.
