The Global Ethnopolis (eBook, PDF)

Chinatown, Japantown and Manilatown in American Society

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on three ethnic neighbourhoods in San Francisco: commoditized Chinatown, gentrified Japantown, and defunct Manilatown, and argues that the city is global because it comprises a multiplicity of global niches in its midst that interface with and sustain each other at the local level.
