Chinatown has come to me something more than a physical place. It’s come to me this …. a place that is still a home for new immigrants and still welcomes working class immigrants until the near hood as a home. And it also welcomes back older generations of Chinese Americans to be there along side with them.
It’s a bit a lively area in Chinatown. My parents came through New York Chinatown, when they first arrived in this country in the late 60’s and my grandparents _______________ my childhood lived and worked in Chinatown. My grandmother was a seamstress and my grandfather fortune cookie factory.
When I got to be older after spending my _________ going to visit them on weekends, shopping, family banking something like that, I tried to figured out what the place meant to me, for myself as an adult.
Living in Chinatown is a complicated situation and what the historian Judy Yung is called the “Gilded Ghetto”, I think it really _______ ____ what Chinatown can be, which is a place that is familiar but at the same time it can be a _________ of ____ because you never have time in your living or working life to learn English or practice English. And so, I think the language ___________ is still the biggest thing that keeps near immigrants from some leaving
When we consider the future of Chinatown in the United States we really have to look towards what is happening in China. And as it’s _________ as a global power and despite all the ups and downs of the recent couple of years, China is going to continue to be a large culture and economic force in the world and what happens there is really going to _________ who comes to this country.
Chinatowns are unique. They of course are shaped by the forces that surround them in the cities that they’re located with them but really a lot of the Chinatowns that particularly are in this book; San Francisco, New York, LA, Honolulu and specially Las Vegas really also have a very surprising commonalities. They also contribute something larger to the culture landscape around them.
