Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States by Andrew Coe

4.0

It's actually a really detailed history of Chinese in America (as well as some pre-history into sino-anglo relations in China itself starting with early trade). When we went to Guangzhou with my sister when she adopted her 2nd one, we stayed in the Swan hotel which is right near the areas discussed in the first part of the book. The coverage is not lighthearted, though. This is a serious history book.
