Chang, Kimberly A.

Journal of Moral Education, v25 n2 p141-57 Jun 1996

Summarizes and comments on a series of interviews with Chinese students in the United States regarding conflicts with landlords, professors, and merchants. Discusses the dichotomy between their desire to assert themselves and their feelings of apprehension dealing with unfamiliar relationships and power structures. Considers this experience in terms of feminist theories. (MJP)
