The Global Silicon Valley Home: Lives and Landscapes Within Taiwanese American Trans-Pacific Culture: Asian America
Autor Shenglin Changen Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2005
The economic boom of the 1990s that led to the rapid rise of computer hardware and software companies (on both sides of the Pacific Rim) also led to the rise of a trans-Pacific commuter culture, a culture in which thousands of Taiwanese-born high-tech engineers realized that they could greatly increase their career opportunities by establishing a life-style that allowed them and their families to regularly commute between two homes, one in Silicon Valley and the other in Taiwan.
The Global Silicon Valley Home takes a close look at how participants in the jet-set, wired-to-the-Net, trans-Pacific commuter culture have invented new ways of thinking about how their homes reflect their personal identities.

Recenzii
"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

Descriere
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."
