Description
Crossing Borders: International Women Students In American Higher Education. 2009. Dongxiao Qin. Lanham, MD: University Press of America. 190 pages, including appendices, tables, and index. $32.00 (paperback). The number of Asian students attending U.S. colleges and university continues to grow, and China rivals India for the country that sends the largest number of students to American campuses (Open Doors, 2009). Thus, Qin's study of Chinese women studying in universities in the United States is incredibly timely. More than a descriptive study of these women's experiences, Qin's book, Crossing Borders: International Women Students In American Higher Education, draws upon cultural feminist theories of women's self development to interpret and illuminate Chinese women's senses of self as they 'cross' geographic, cultural, and psychological borders to study in the U.S.
