Trade Review"Lisa Park's fascinating foray into the lives of Asian immigrant entrepreneurs' children is at once illuminating and inspiring. Based upon extensive interviews and careful research, Consuming Citizenship challenges superficial stereotypes and provides nuanced portraits. Written with verve, it is an indispensable text for understanding the new generation of Asian Americans." -John Lie,University of California, Berkeley
