From the Back Cover
In this insightful study of race and racism, Kay Anderson examines Vancover's Chinatown as a creation of the white community over a hundred-year period. She shows that the very existence of the district--from the negative stereotyping of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to its current status as an 'ethnic neighbourhood'--is the result of cultural domination that continues to exist today.
Review
"a compelling case ... The author has done an admirable job in developing a difficult theoretical position and successfully applying it to the development of Chinese' and Chinatown' in Canada ... offers a refreshing contrast to the evolutionary model ... quite sophisticated theoretically and analytically." Peter S. Li, Department of Sociology, University of Saskatchewan. "The book is of exceptionally fine quality, making a significant contribution to contemporary debates about race' and racism and highlighting the importance of a geographical perspective on the relationship between people and place. [It is] written with outstanding clarity." Peter Jackson, Department of Geography, University College London.
