Yale Law School professor Amy Chua’s very personal book on parenting, The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, leapt into public consciousness in early 2011. Wall Street Journal editors teased readers with what Chua calls a “terrible” headline: “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior.” That early excerpt helped ignite a controversy about permissive vs. demanding child-rearing techniques, and Chua was condemned as an advocate of child abuse. Others praised Chua, saying her best-seller exposed the failure of America’s overly permissive culture.
Nine years ago, Chua’s first book was a cutting-edge commentary on globalization, sounding a warning about the complexities of exporting democracy and free markets into delicately balanced foreign cultures. At Yale, Chua teaches contract law and a self-designed course on international business transactions. In both courses, Chua goes beyond just teaching the black letter law and provides sociological, political and economic context.
