Forbidden Workers
Reconstructing Chinatown
Journal of Asian American Studies - Volume 2, Number 3, October 1999
Reconstructing Chinatown
In the American popular imagination, Chinatown is a mysterious and dangerous place, clannish and dilapidated, filled with sweatshops, vice, and organizational crime. This volume presents a real-world picture of New York City's Chinatown, countering the orientalist view by looking at the human dimensions and the larger forces of globalization that make this neighbourhood both unique and broadly instructive
Immigration in a Changing Economy
This study of immigration to California has two main purposes. goes back to 1960 before the current era of large-scale immigration began and looks systematically at how immigration has interacted with other demographic and economic trends over the subsequent decades to affect the state. It also examines how immigrants from different countries of origin are faring in their pursuit of the American dream. Finally it identifies the challenges that Ca…
Forbidden workers
Forbidden Workers tells the full story of recent Chinese immigration to this country. Author Peter Kwong has interviewed countless workers, activists, Chinatown powerbrokers, and "snakeheads" (smugglers who bring immigrants to the United States) and has traveled to China to talk with families of immigrants. The result is an unprecedented look at an invisible community within American society - and at a billion-dollar industry whose commodity is w…
The Politics of Diversity
Manufacturing Ethnicity
■ Immigrants often depend on ethnic mutual assistance to make a start in this country. But the concept of ethnic solidarity can also be manipulated by employers to gain better control over their co-ethnic employees. In studying the predicament of Chinese immigrant workers in New York's Chinatown, and especially the Chinese illegals, this article shows that Chinese employers often invoke ethnic symbols to project an image that only co-ethnics can …
The new Chinatown
Newspapers today are filled with stories of corruption and strife in America's Chinatowns, reversing the popular view of Chinese Americans as a model minority of law-abiding, hard-working people whose diligent children end up in high-tech jobs. In The New Chinatown, Peter Kwong goes beyond the headlines in a compelling and detailed account of the political and cultural isolation of Chinese-American communities. This new edition offers a revised a…
