Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture by Annelise Heinz
Heinz's rich and colorful account offers the first history of the wildly popular game of mahjong. As it traveled from China to the United States and caught on with Hollywood starlets, high society, middle-class housewives, and immigrants alike, mahjong became a quintessentially American game.
