Lisella, Julia – Race, Gender & Class, 1997
To look at Maxine Hong Kingston's novel "China Men" for its mythic aspects is to overlook the fact that it is a novel about work and class. It condemns a patriarchal capitalist world that exploits both male and female workers and dissects the gender and race issues uncovered by such exploitation. (SLD)

Maintains that Gallas' book exemplifies her talent for and commitment to teacher research and that it richly documents students' social worlds.
