Annotation. The rough camps and shantytowns built by nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Chinese immigrants to the West eventually became settled Chinatowns across the globe. Because it opens a new approach to the study of recent Chinese migration, this volume will be of vital interest in the fields of both general and Chinese migration studies. But, bringing to life as it does the momentous changes now sweeping the Chinese world in all parts of the globe, it will also attract a far wider readership.

Gwen Kinkead's fascinating book is an explanation of a mystery: Chinatown. In the first book in fifty years to break the code of silence about New York's Chinatown, Kinkead offers us an intimate portrait of an exciting community that is also one of the most insular and, until now, enigmatic in the world. New York City's Chinatown is the largest in the Western Hemisphere, a vibrant, chaotic little piece of China entirely segregated from the United States. Against all odds, Kinkead managed to get recent immigrants to Chinatown to speak to her--an astonishing feat for a low faan (a barbarian, white person) with a notepad. Her portraits of Chinatown's invisible people are intriguing. They work in its garment factories and restaurants, where child labor laws seem not to obtain; they do not speak English and have no desire or opportunity to learn the language; they rarely, if ever, venture outside Chinatown's boundaries and have no interest in the American world surrounding their enclave. Kinkead describes their family associations, the tongs, and the gangs they employ to extort and murder. She charts the growth of Chinese organized crime, now smuggling in half the heroin in the United States. She illuminates the Chinese work ethic, their attitude toward money, the extended-family obligations, their traditions of concubinage, the Chinese penchant for gambling, their newspapers--owned by Chinese in Asia who determine what is reported and how--the importance of food, Chinatown's millionaires, and more. A rich, eye-opening account of a little-known community, Chinatown is also a provocative reflection on assimilation and racism in this country.

‘Chinatowns’ are familiar places in almost all major cities in the world. In popular Western wisdom, the restaurants, pagodas, and red lanterns are intrinsically equated with a self-contained, immigrant Chinese district, an alien enclave of ‘the East’ in ‘the West’. By the 1980s, when these Western societies had largely given up their racially discriminatory immigration policies and opened up to Asian immigration, the dominant conception of Chinatown was no longer that of an abject ethnic ghetto: rather, Chinatown was now seen as a positive expression of multicultural heritage and difference. By the early 21st century, however, these spatial and cultural constructions of Chinatown as an ‘other’ space – whether negative or positive – have been thoroughly destabilised by the impacts of accelerating globalisation and transnational migration. This book provides a timely and much-needed paradigm shift in this regard, through an in-depth case study of Sydney’s Chinatown. It speaks to the growing multilateral connections that link Australia and Asia (and especially China) together; not just economically, but also socially and culturally, as a consequence of increasing transnational flows of people, money, ideas and things. Further, the book elicits a particular sense of a place in Sydney’s Chinatown: that of an interconnected world in which Western and Asian realms inhabit each other, and in which the orientalist legacy is being reconfigured in new deployments and more complex delimitations. As such, Chinatown Unbound engages with, and contributes to making sense of, the epochal shift in the global balance of power towards Asia, especially China.
