This is a VERY IMPORTANT BOOK by a very important member of the Chinese-American community. From the foreword: "Dr. Yee's rich experiences covering both sides of the Pacific constitute the core of his book, which is biographical in nature. The work goes into a range of related topics, providing many insights on the Chinese American as a product of East and West. These, however, are not merely one man's personal experiences and observations. They also form part of the body of Chinese-American experience and, as such, provide stimulating reading for pleasure or research...Him Mark Lai, Chinese Historical Society of America, December, 1983" Inscription on front free end paper is: "To Alma Lauritzen, my dear friend, with warmest regards. Albert January 25, 1984". Here is some biographical information on Dr. Yee: A fourth-generation Chinese American born in Santa Barbara, CA, Dr. Yee was raised and educated in the San Francisco Bay Area earning degrees from UC, Berkeley, San Francisco State, and Stanford. In 1966-67, he was awarded a national postdoctoral fellowship for advanced studies in psychology at the University of Oregon. His first Asian experiences were in 1947-48 as a student in China and in the Korean War as a U.S. soldier....in the interest of peace and sanity as in 1971-72, he led a national movement to promote the normalization of US/PRC relations. When California State authorities resisted the influx of Indochinese refugees in the mid-1970s, he opposed the racism and worked several years to upgrade federal and state refugee policies and procedures. His varied experiences have stimulated lasting interest in cross-cultural and social-psychological studies. His comparative study of Chinese and Jewish characteristics was first published in 2001 after more than a decade of research. Rabbi Anson Laytner of Seattle was the co-author. Yee is a member of the Sino-Judiac Board of Directors. He is the father of a surgical oncologist daughter and a U.S. diplomat son.
