Mott Street by Ava Chin
€26.50
"Mott Street: A Chinese American Family's Story of Exclusion and Homecoming" is a powerful and moving narrative that traces the journey of a Chinese American family navigating the complexities of exclusion, identity, and the quest for a place to call home.
In this captivating book, the author invites readers into the lives of the Wong family, whose experiences span generations and continents. From the vibrant streets of Mott Street in New York City's Chinatown to the struggles and triumphs of immigration and assimilation, their story unfolds against the backdrop of a society marked by discrimination and prejudice.
As the only child of a single mother in Queens, Ava Chin found her family’s origins to be shrouded in mystery. She had never met her father, and her grandparents’ stories didn’t match the history she read at school. Mott Street traces Chin’s quest to understand her Chinese American family’s story. Over decades of painstaking research, she finds not only her father but also the building that provided a refuge for them all.
