Memories of a future home

"While the history of Asian migration to Latin America is well documented, we know little about the contemporary experience of diasporic Asians in this part of the world. Memories of a Future Home offers an intimate look at how diasporic Chinese in Panama construct a home and create a sense of belonging as they inhabit the interstices of several cultural-national formations - Panama, their nation of residence; China/Taiwan, their ethnic homeland; and the United States, the colonial force."--Jacket.
