Product Description
In My Grandmother's Journey , Rebeca Lau invites us along as she returns to what is still home after almost two decades away. In Tapachula, on the west coast of Mexico bordering Guatemala, Mami reminisces about a family history going back to 1919. As Mami tells stories, she cooks up familiar Chinese and Mexican delicacies, and the complexities of belonging and not belonging to China, Mexico, and Canada become clearer to Rebeca. As Rebeca explores the multigenerational family compound built around a general store, talks with longtime Chinese families clustered nearby, and visits childhood haunts, the result is a unique journey of discovery. Highly readable even as it embodies deeper meanings, this book narrates the experiences of three generations of Chinese, tying together their lives around the Pacific.
