Inspired by the author's experience living among Chinese Americans in
the United States, The Collected Writings of Sui Sin Far highlights
stories of prejudice, perseverance, and the soul of a proud and vibrant
community.
Characterized by her wisdom and cross-cultural knowledge, Mrs. Spring
Fragrance is one of Sui Sin Far's most beloved characters and can be
found throughout the collection of stories.
"In the Land of the Free" is a powerful story inside this collection on
a Chinese immigrant who is separated from her young son due to
insufficient paperwork. Exploring the struggles of this woman to reclaim
her son, discrimination and hardships faced by Chinese Americans due to
the Chinese Exclusion Act are exposed, illuminating the restrictive
immigration policies which continue in modern America.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this Mint Editions version of The Collected Writings of Sui Sin Far is
a classic of Chinese American literature reimagined for modern
readers.
