Though little documented, it represents the city's most sustained neighborhood effort to survive during eras of hostility and urban transformation. It has been wounded and transformed, slowly ceding ground; at the same time, its residents and organizations have gained a more prominent voice over their community's fate. In writing about Boston Chinatown's long history, Michael Liu, a lifelong activist and scholar of the community, charts its journey and efforts for survival--from its emergence during a time of immigration and deep xenophobia to the highway construction and urban renewal projects that threatened the neighborhood after World War II to its more recent efforts to keep commercial developers at bay. At the ground level, Liu depicts its people, organizations, internal battles, and varied and complex strategies against land-taking by outside institutions and public authorities. The documented courage, resilience, and ingenuity of this low-income immigrant neighborhood of color have earned it a place amongst our urban narratives. Chinatown has much to teach us about neighborhood agency, the power of organizing, and the prospects of such neighborhoods in rapidly growing and changing cities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Chinatown (Boston, Mass.) $x History. 651 0 $a Boston (Mass.) $x History. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $z Boston $z Boston $x History. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $z Boston $z Boston $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $x History. $z Boston $z Boston $x History. 650 0 $a Community activists $z Boston $z Boston $x History. 650 0 $a Community organization $z Boston $z Boston $x History. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z Boston $z Boston $x History. 650 7 $a Chinese Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857249 650 7 $a Chinese Americans $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857281 650 7 $a Community activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01745119 650 7 $a Community organization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432034 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 651 7 $a Massachusetts $z Boston. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205012 651 7 $a Massachusetts $z Chinatown. $z Chinatown. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01927240 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406020401.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5776A35E7CB711EB8C51190E5AECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
