Fresh, multicultural, interdisciplinary perspective to understanding Asian American history and urbanism.
– Provides crucial primary research in an underexplored area; Wong wrote this because she needs a resource to teach from, and knows many other professors, community organizations, and Asian Americans also feeling the lack of this book.
– Cities across the country are facing housing crises and are eager for case studies of alternative housing models and policy impacts on distinct and/or marginalized communities.
– Wong's previous book, also on a Chinatown, has gone into second printing; this title is about a bigger community in a bigger, higher-profile city, so we have high hopes for sales.
– Twenty-four original maps show the pattern of settlement, with 65 photographs illustrating the lived experience of those shifts. We plan on a gorgeous, innovative visual layout to break the academic monograph mold and couch the research in an art object.
– Hard to find comparable titles because the books that come closest to the subject matter are academic titles priced $5-20 higher, or are clipped down to tourist-oriented guidebooks.
