Zusatztext "Chang's nuanced readings of her subjects' self-narratives and physical settings provide a new wealth of detail concerning the material manifestations of mobile lives." Informationen zum Autor Shenglin Chang is Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resource Sciences and Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland, College Park. Klappentext "Chang's nuanced readings of her subjects' self-narratives and physical settings provide a new wealth of detail concerning the material manifestations of mobile lives."--The International History Review "This is a powerful and poetic work that is both informative and engaging. It combines personal history with solid scholarship to tell the story of the Taiwanese who occupy multiple homes and communities, both real and imagined. Rarely is such a solid scholarly treatment so readable and accessible." --Mark Francis, University of California, Davis Zusammenfassung The Global Silicon Valley Home takes a close look at how residents (Taiwanese American high-tech engineer families) of the jet-set, wired-to-the-Net, trans-Pacific commuter culture have invented new ways of thinking about how their homes and landscapes reflect their personal identities—ways that enable them to make sense of "living life within two places at once."
