In what ways did this game foster the development of Jewish American and Chinese American identities across the country? Associate Professor Annelise Heinz charts a complex cultural journey. This talk follows the history of one game to explore how, in their daily lives, individuals create and experience cultural change.
Annelise Heinz is the author of Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture, which won the Pacific Coast Branch Award for the best first book in any historical subject and was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award in Nonfiction. A historian at the University of Oregon, her work has been featured by National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, Tablet, and Kveller among others. She has lived and played mahjong in the United States and Southwestern China.
