American Born Chinese

Yang, G.L. (2008) American Born Chinese.  ISBN-13: 978-0312384487

American Born Chinese tells the story of Jin Wang, a son of Chinese immigrants, who struggles to assimilate at a predominately white school after moving from San Francisco's Chinatown to the suburbs. Jin's story is interwoven with the legend of the Chinese folk hero Monkey King, and a sitcom starring a negatively stereotyped Chinese cousin named Chin-Kee.
