| About:
| |
| Lisa Rose Mar's fascination with immigration began with her childhood as the Chinese-European daughter of Canadian immigrants to the United States. Intrigued by her family's stories of migrations from China, England, Eastern Europe, Canada, and South Africa--and puzzled by the often limited conceptions of immigrants in public school curricula--she became a story-teller of immigrant lives which cross oceans and continents. Her work joins histories of the United States, China, and Canada, as well as interdisciplinary immigration and ethnic studies.

| |
| Dr. Mar's first book, ''Brokering Belonging: Chinese in Canada's Exclusion Era, 1885-1945'' (Oxford University Press, 2010) traces several generations of Chinese "brokers," ethnic leaders who acted as intermediaries between the Chinese and Anglo worlds of Canada, and who became influential actors in the Pacific World.
| |
|
| |
| Dr. Mar is currently working on two book projects related to Chinese immigrants: a study of Second World War experiences of Chinese Canadians and Chinese Americans, and a history of Chinese Confucianism in North America.
