Louie focuses on âIn Search of Roots,â a program that takes young Chinese American adults of Cantonese descent to visit their ancestral villages in Chinaâs Guangdong province. Through ethnographic interviews and observation, Louie examines the experiences of Chinese Americans both during village visits in China and following their participation in the program, which she herself took part in as an intern and researcher. She presents a vivid portrait of two populations who, though connected through family ties generations back, are meeting for the first time in the context of a rapidly changing contemporary China. Louie situates the participantsâ and hostsâ shifting understandings of China and Chineseness within the context of transnational flows of people, media, goods, and money; Chinaâs political and economic policies; and the racial and cultural politics of the United States.
