Troubling American Women – Narratives of Gender and Nation in Hong Kong

Stacilee Ford has lived in Hong Kong for 18 years. She teaches history and American studies at the University of Hong Kong and is the author of Mabel Cheung Yuen-Ting's An Autumn's Tale.

Stacilee Ford's idea of gendered American exceptionalism is astute, provocative, and convincing. An American woman who has lived for years in Hong Kong, she possesses the rare sensibility to be at once critical and compassionate, as is evident throughout the book. -- King-Kok Cheung, University of California, Los Angeles
