Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture
Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture illustrates how the spaces between tiles and the moments between games have fostered distinct social cultures in the United States. This mass-produced game crossed the Pacific, creating waves of popularity over the twentieth century, particularly in Jewish American women’s culture. 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.

This event includes a kosher Chinese lunch for our in person guests. If you are attending virtually, you can pick up your boxed lunch from the J at 11:30 am.
