I'm posting this link because it helps us understand how the processes he described have shifted since he published his book (1987). For example, he notes that competition from China has almost killed the garment industry in Chinatown. He also discusses the continued gentrification of the area and his belief that Chinatown will eventually cease to exist.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/218" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/218#comments Chinatown community friction housing identity immigration work Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:09:19 +0000 Professor Brooks 218 at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10 "Separate But Equal =/= fair" http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/144 <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/144" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/144#comments Brighton Beach community housing segregation Tue, 23 Mar 2010 19:50:36 +0000 Shelley Jiang 144 at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10 Map resource (kind of neat) http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/39 <p>&nbsp;A new resource mentioned in this morning's <em>New York Times</em> allows you to look at a map of NYC from above with a satellite view. Of course, that's simply Google Earth, but there's a little bar in the interface that you can move to see the same view in 2006...and in 1924. It's kind of neat to be able to do what's essentially a Google Earth satellite view for 1924, and also very useful to historians.
