Consisting of dozens of generational interviews of Chinese Americans whose families migrated out of Chinatown in pursuit of the American dream. CHINESE IN THE RICHMOND completes a narrative pathway through the barriers and restrictions that were overcome by Chinese Americans as they first brought families to both neighborhoods.
