Scholars from a variety of fields will draw much from this collective biography of the hundreds of Chinese men and women who studied in America during the final decade of the Qing dynasty up through 1927, the beginning of the Nationalist era. The author weaves a compelling, multifaceted group portrait using English- and Chinese-language contemporary publications, memoirs, university archives, and personal interviews with surviving American-educated Chinese in the People's Republic of China in the 1980s. |
