This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profile of Boston's Chinatown Neighborhood Chinatown is a small neighborhood, the boundaries of which do not conform to any geographic units in available data bases. The closest approximation is a compilation of blocks within census tracts defined by the u.s. Bureau of the Census. See shaded area in Figure 1. In those blocks, the population in 1980 was Eighty percent of those persons were Asian and Pacific Islander. The population in those blocks more than doubled from 1970 to 1980. See Table 1. The influx was led by Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants, largely due to the United States' recognition of China and the admission of Indo - Chinese refugees beginning in 1978. Note that the actual population in Chinatown may have been greater than the Bureau of the Census reported, due to reluctance of some immigrants to respond to a government - sponsored survey. However, the suspected undercount has not been documented or estimated. For more detailed information on the inhabitants of Chinatown, an entire census tract-number 702 - provides a reasonable approximation of Chinatown. See the area within the heavy lines in Figure 1. The data for tract 702 indicate that population and housing grew rapidly in the l97os, contrary to the citywide trend. Yet most of the characteristics of the residents did not change significantly. Relative improvements in family income and poverty rates were the notable exception. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
Download or read book Chinese in Boston written by Wing-kai To and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese Americans in Boston trace their historical origins to pioneering settlements of merchants, workers, and students in different parts of New England. After the 1880s, hundreds of Chinese arrived in Boston. Beginning as a bachelor male-dominated society, the Chinese in Boston gradually developed stronger bonds of family and community life. Spared natural disasters that characterized the Chinese immigrant experience in the West, Boston's Chinatown nonetheless faced challenges of urban renewal and environmental degradation. Through their participation in community organizations, merchant activities, educational opportunities, and civic protests, the Chinese in Boston persevered, simultaneously maintaining their Chinese identity and acculturating into America. They formed a close-knit community that distinguished Boston's Chinatown as one of the oldest and most enduring Chinese neighborhoods on the East Coast.
