Community Change in Global Context; Notes; Bibliography; IndexIn the American popular imagination, Chinatown is a mysterious and dangerous place, clannish and dilapidated, filled with sweatshops, vice, and organized crime. In this well-written and engaging volume, Jan Lin presents a real-world picture of New York City's Chinatown, countering this "orientalist" view by looking at the human dimensions and the larger forces of globalization that make this vital neighborhood both unique and broadly instructive.Globalization and community ;v. 2.Chinese AmericansNew York (State)New YorkEconomic conditionsChinese AmericansNew York (State)New YorkPolitics and governmentChinatown (New York, N.Y.)Economic conditionsChinatown (New York, N.Y.)Politics and governmentNew York (N.Y.)Economic conditionsNew York (N.Y.)Politics and governmentElectronic books.Chinese AmericansEconomic conditions.Chinese AmericansPolitics and government.307.76097471974.7/1Lin Jan878845MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457373203321Reconstructing Chinatown1962123UNINA
