American Chinatown: A People's History of Five Neighborhoods
ISBN: 9781416557241 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The mystery of Chinatown as foreign yet familiar has been long established in the American imagination.

In American Chinatown, Bonnie Tsui takes an...

Asian American Assimilation: Ethnicity, Immigration, and Socioeconomic Attainment
ISBN: 9781593322045 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Stowell examines the impact of immigration on violent crime.

Stowell tests whether patterns of neighborhood-level violence are partially attributable to the population characteristics of an area, and, in particular, to its nativity composition. His analyses offer both support for and challenges to social disorganization theory. Consistent with theoretical expectations, immigration is found to be indirectly associated with levels of violence. Little support, however,...
