""...What a Tiger Mother thinks is ferocity is just control-freakiness turned rancid like frozen breast milk left in the mini Tupperware too long. Tiger Mom, I'm just not that into you."-- From TIGER BABIES STRIKE BACK After Amy Chua's controversial parenting book became fodder for every morning talk show, Kim Wong Keltner wasn't surprised when she, and every Asian woman she knew, was suddenly asked, "So are you a Tiger Mother?" Kim, who was raised by a Tiger Mom herself, wasn't fazed. Instead, she's striking back. Hard. Traversing the choppy seas of both American and Chinese traditions, Keltner dives into the difficulties facing women today--Chinese-American and otherwise. At once deeply relevant and playfully honest, Keltner attempts to dispel Chua's myth that all Chinese women are Tiger Mothers and that all parents should rule with an iron fist. Topics include: - White Thing, I Think I Love You: East Meets West in the Board Room and the Bedroom - I Was Raised by a Tiger Mom and All I Got Was this Lousy T-Shirt: A Rebuttal to Chua, More Anecdotes from the Wong Family Tree - My Car and Kid Are Both Hybrids - Imperial Ferocity vs. Feminine Vulnerability: Dragon Lady or Chinese Mary Magdalene? The first and only book of its kind to take Tiger Mothers on by their teeth, TIGER BABIES STRIKE BACK combines personal anecdotes and tough love to provide a humorous, provocative look at how our families shape--and sometimes shake--our personal foundations"--
