Summary:In this refreshing study of the ＂search for a homeland＂ by Chinese-Mexicans, Julia Schiavone Camacho sets Chinese diaspora studies on its head by centering her work on ＂a Chinese-Mexican identity rooted in an imagined Mexican homeland,＂ and the history of their exile from Mexico （p.1）. Based on archival research at multiple sites （Sonora, Mexico City, Macau, Arizona, and Washington DC）, and spliced with oral history interviews with her subjects, Camacho deftly reconstructs the diasporic trajectories of these Chinese Mexican families, as they responded to twentieth century transregional and global events and circumstances in their multiple crossings of the Pacific lake.
