Description

In this enchanting volume, Tuan's childhood memories and musings on the places encountered during this homecoming are interspersed with new lectures about principles of human geography as well as the changing Chinese landscape. At the beginning of his trip, Tuan wondered if he would be a stranger among people who looked like him. By its end, he re-evaluates his own self-definition as a hyphenated American and sheds new light on human identity's complex roots in history, geography, and language.
