Navigating Race and Identity in Business

This chapter explores the challenges faced by a foreigner running a small business in China, focusing on feelings of exclusion and the difficulty of breaking into local business circles. It also examines the complex dynamics of race and identity, comparing experiences in China and the U.S., and highlights how cultural perceptions can influence social interactions.
