Ethnic Renewal in Philadelphia's Chinatown: Space, Place, and Struggle - Urban Life, Landscape and Policy

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; Philadelphia's Chinatown, like many urban chinatowns, began in the late nineteenth century as a refuge for immigrant laborers and merchants in which to form a community to raise families and conduct business. But this enclave for expression, identity, and community is also the embodiment of historical legacies and personal and collective memories. In 'Ethnic Renewal in Philadelphia's Chinatown', Kathryn Wilson charts the unique history of this neighborhood. Biographical Note: Kathryn E. Wilson is Associate Professor of History at Georgia State University.
