DESCRIPTION:All decent parents want to do what’s best for their children. What 
 “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” reveals is that the Chinese just have 
 a totally different idea of how to do that. Western parents try to respect 
 their child’s individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true 
 passions and providing a nurturing environment. The Chinese believe that 
 the best way to protect children is by preparing them for the future and 
 arming them with skills, strong work habits, and merited inner confidence. 
 \n\nKPFA’s excellent Morning Show host (temporarily laid off) Aimee 
 Allison, also a mother, will introduce Amy Chua, converse with her, and 
 facilitate the question and answer session with the audience.   
 \n\n“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” is the book we’ve all been 
 waiting for – a candid, provocative, poignant and vicarious journey 
 through the Chinese-American family culture. It will leave you breathless 
 with its bluntness and emotion. Amy Chua is a Tiger Mother, a greatly 
 gifted law professor and, ultimately, an honest, loving woman with a lot to 
 say.” —Tom Brokaw\n\nAmy Chua is the John M. Duff Professor of Law at 
 Yale Law School.  Her first book, World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market 
 Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability – a New York Times 
 bestseller – was selected by both The Economist and The Guardian as one 
 of the Best Books of 2003. Her second book, Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers 
 Rose To Global Dominance—And Why They Fall was a critically acclaimed 
 Foreign Affairs bestseller. She lives with her husband and two daughters in 
 New Haven, Connecticut. \n\nHosted by Aimee Allison\n\n$12 advance tickets:
