Overview
Favorite Daughter undertakes a poignant quest to excavate the very core of America residing within the human form, while simultaneously going beneath the surface to unearth the concealed roots of China.
Presented in a structured division of four parts, the book embarks on a courageous expedition into the depths of hybridity, localism, and harmony, effectively unsettling established concepts of "belonging" and the challenges of "cultural struggle."
Within its pages, Huang artfully creates an intricate collection using a diverse array of mediums, including immigration narratives, segments from Chinese radio broadcasts, fragments from Google translate, and inventive remixes of dictionaries. These elements converge to form a mosaic that compellingly submerges Huang in the midst of ambiguity, demonstrating her unflinching willingness to explore the spaces between cultural boundaries. Through this unique approach, Favorite Daughter reflects not only Huang's literary daring but also her commitment to illuminating the complexities that underlie cultural identity and human connection.
