Biographies
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 I was dressed up to go out with my brother, Alexander, to Chinatown with our father, Peter Papi Wong. Our father was coming to pick us up from our apartment in Morningside Heights, which was then Harlem.
#2 I remember my father, Peter Wong, very clearly. He was Chinese, and he had two dark-looking children who looked like they could be Asian. But they looked more like Black and white siblings to each other.
#3 Peter’s grandfather, who married my mother, had 14 or more years in the United States before she was born. He had married her sister Maria to a Chinese man because the Chinese were the closest thing to a white man.
#4 My aunt’s husband, Peter Wong, brought another thing that elevated my mother and her children’s standing: immigration status. He bought it by paying off two Chinese hustlers with green cards to marry his daughters.
