Eating Chinese Culture on the Menu in Small Town Canada

Eating Chinese: Culture on the Menu in Small Town Canada is a fascinating look at the ways in which Chinese immigrants related to mainstream Canadians through the food they prepared and served ... Cho is an engaging, lively writer ... There is much for the general reader to enjoy in the book. - Bruce Ward, The Ottawa Citizen 'Eating Chinese challenges scholars of post colonialism and diasporas to consider how diasporic culture is forged beyond the limits of the cosmopolitan metropolis, at intersections of the past and the present... Her insightful readings of ostensibly disparate narratives enable her to carefully peel back their layers to reveal how identities and structures of power are constituted in and around what some might take to be the most unlikely of places.'
- Jaclyn Rohel , Topia: Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies; vol26:2011 'Eating Chinese makes a major contribution to Chinese diaspora studies through its attention to small town Canada.' - Donald Goellnicht (Journal of Asian American Studies vol 15:2:2012) 'Eating Chinese is powerful and rare work of criticism... This book generously points us forward, inviting us to imagine how acts of remembering a past that is not yet past could help clarify "work that has yet to be done".' - Guy Beauregard (Canadian Literature 219 winter 2013)
