Roberta Halporn Photography by Constance Halporn, Jennie Mi Lau, Teresa Menzies, & Robert Wright
Focused around an analysis of the Ching Ming festival (the annual "sweeping of the graves"), this publication reveals the religious and bereavement customs brought here by the early immigrants, and the massive changes introduced by the Red regime, as they have affected today's Americans of Chinese descent. Covers the major religious beliefs the immigrants brought with them, and an analysis of existing memorials and customs. For courses in American ethnic history and for the general reader. 60 illustrations.
Enlivened with historical & contemporary photos & gravestone rubbings.
