Chinese St. Louis: From Enclave to Cultural Community
ISBN: 9781592130382 / Angielski / Twarda / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chinese St. Louis offers the first empirical study of a Midwestern Chinese American community from its nineteenth-century origins to the present.

She argues that the St. Louis experience departs from the standard models of Chinese settlement in urban areas, which are based on studies of coastal cities. Developing the concept of a cultural community, Ling...
