Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang

Monday, December 14, 6:00 pm

In 1994, seven-year-old Qian Julie Wang and her family fled China, settling in New York City’s Chinatown. Over the next five years, they battled poverty, racism, labor exploitation (including Wang’s own time working in a sweatshop), and the constant fear of deportation. Beautiful Country is an essential memoir about the cost of making a home in a hostile land.
