Abstract
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.
