Inhalt:

From struggling war refugees to Buddhist monks, intellectuals to sex workers, Russell Charles Leong's characters are both linked and separated by their experiences as modern Asians and Asian Americans. A young teen-ager, sold into prostitution to finance her brothers' education, saves her hair trimmings -- the one part of her body that is under her own control -- to burn once a year in a temple ritual. A documentary film producer, raised in a noisy Hong Kong family, marvels at the popular image of Asian Americans as a silenced minority. Traditional Chinese families struggle to come to terms with gay children and AIDS.
