Cold War Kids: Chinese students in the 1950s and American Cold War politics

Kahlila Bandele continues to explore the history of international students on campus.  On this episode, Maggie and Kahlila discuss the relationship between Chinese students in the 1950s and American Cold War politics. 

One of these students was David Wen-Wei Chang, class of 1955.  While researching this episode, we learned that Dr. Chang had published an autobiography titled “The Scholar and the Tiger”.  We recently added this book to our collection if you would like to read more about Chang’s life.
