I think we would have been better off reading Evelyn Glenn's article on Chinese-American families before reading ''China Men''.  Reading ''China Men'' cold really set me off kilter, but I think I would have been better prepared for it if we had read the article first.  It gives some background into this group of people as a whole which you don't really get in ''China Men'' until you get to the section on laws as relating to Chinese immigrants. -Lacey

I have to agree with Lacey on this.  I felt like I understood ''China Men'' more after reading the article, but on the other hand I had to think more about the reading this way I guess.  Still, some background about Chinese-Americans would have made this book better to understand overall. --Ashley Wilkins
