This innovative work provides a new model for the analysis of
ethnic and racial settlement patterns in the U.S. and Canada.
Ethnoburbs-suburban ethnic clusters of residential areas and
business districts in large metropolitan areas--are multiracial,
multiethnic, multicultural, multilingual, and often multinational
communities in which one ethnic minority group has a significant
concentration but does not necessarily constitute a majority. Wei
Li documents the processes that have evolved with the spatial
transformation of the Chinese American community of Los Angeles and
converted the San Gabriel Valley into ethnoburbs in the latter half
of the twentieth century and examines the opportunities and
challenges that occurred as a result of these changes. Traditional
ethnic and immigrant settlements customarily take the form of
either ghettos or enclaves. Thus the majority of scholarly
publications and mass media covering the San Gabriel Valley has
described it as a Chinatown located in Los Angeles' suburbs. Li
offers a completely different approach to understanding and
analyzing this fascinating place. By conducting interviews with
residents, a comparative spatial examination of census data and
other statistical sources, and field work--coupled with her own
holistic view of the area--Li gives readers an effective and
fine-tuned socio-spatial analysis of the evolution of a new type of
racially-defined place.
