Download or read book Profile of Boston s Chinatown Neighborhood Classic Reprint written by Jeffrey P. Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profile of Boston's Chinatown Neighborhood The age distribution of Chinatown's population in 1980 was about the same as the age distribution of the city's population. This was a result of a slight change in Chinatown's age distribution concurrent with a marked shift in the city's age distribution. In 1970, Chinatown already had a distribution that was dominated by adults under 55 (64 percent). Boston's distribution shifted from 54 percent in the 15-54 category to 62 percent in that category in 1980. Regarding children under 15, their share of Chinatown's population was 17 percent in 1970 and 18 percent in 1980. In the city as a whole, the children's share decreased from 24 percent in 1970 to 17 percent in 1980. See Table 2. A few other population characteristics are noteworthy. In Chinatown's tract 702 in 1980, six out of every ten households were family households, compared to five of ten in Boston as a whole. Married couple families were much more common in Chinatown (87 percent of all families) than in Boston (64 percent). In addition, Chinatown's role as a home to many newly-arrived or first-generation immigrants is evident, as 61 percent of its residents were born in a foreign country, compared to 33 percent in 1970.

Download or read book Forever Struggle written by Michael Liu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinatown has a long history in Boston. 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.
