«‘Culturing Interface’ is a highly readable account of the emergence of Chinese and Taiwanese transnational culture and communication at the contemporary United States/Mexico border. This book undoubtedly will be read by scholars of critical intercultural communication and transnational communication, ethnographers of communication, as well as by Asian Americanists. Hsin-I Cheng’s critical ethnographic approach humanizes the characters of her book, providing a snapshot of social pressures and cultural transformation in process, and breathes new life into studies of hybridized cultural experiences, politics, and identities.» (Kent A.
