From his last book Home Is Not Here, the exploration of identity from intellectual and emotional perspectives has been extended to this new book, Home is Where We Are. Join us for the event to listen to Professor Wang’s early years as an academic, formation of identity, and the stories of him and Margaret.

“Recording Professor Wang Gungwu’s intellectual journey as he navigated often unsettling questions regarding cultural identity, and his obligations as a citizen-scholar, it also chronicles the individuals and influences that shaped his academic direction. At the same time, the book is a testimony to the support and commitment he received from Margaret Wang, whose own memories, skillfully incorporated into the narrative, highlight the strength of their long partnership.” – Barbara Watson Andaya, University of Hawaii
