Book Synopsis
How the crowded neighbourhoods of New York

Trade Review
"Yee's study of the ethnoracial dynamics of lower Manhattan in this [pre-1930] period is well conceived, and well written. She convincingly dispels the myth of isolated ethnic enclaves populating the neighborhoods of what are commonly referred to as Chinatown and the Lower East Side by presenting a wealth of evidence to demonstrate the interweaving of the lives of people from differing cultural backgrounds. An Immigrant Neighborhood provides a lovely balance of interpretive material and the reconstruction of individual life stories." -Marilyn Halter, Boston University, author of Shopping for Identity: The Marketing of Ethnicity and Between Race and Ethnicity: Cape Verdean American Immigrants, 1860-1965
