ISBN: 9781554810277.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the first works of fiction in English by a North American writer of Asian descent, the stories collected in Mrs. Spring Fragrance present a complex and sympathetic picture of life in American Chinese communities in the early twentieth century. Far’s seemingly simple stories of family life reveal the tensions created by cultural assimilation. Rather than embracing any particular identity, the stories show a cosmopolitan sensibility that embraces “the motley throng of all nationalities’ in the streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown.\nAppendices include materials on Chinese exclusion, missionaries and assimilation, and contemporary representations of Chinatown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955035828277,"sku":"ByrdShop_1554810272","price":29.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781554810277_927199a2-fb7c-44cf-8f23-dc36f47d95ff.jpg?v=1778880544","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mrs-spring-fragrance-9781554810277","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
