Description

The Power of Chinatown chronicles the contemporary history and community politics of Los Angeles Chinatown as the neighborhood faces pressures of gentrification and displacement. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork, the book bridges understandings of community, geography, political economy, and race to show the complexities and contradictions of building community power, illuminating how these place-based ethnic politics might give rise to a more expansive vision of Asian American belonging and a just city for all.
