Min Zhou examines how an ethnic enclave works to direct its members into American society, while at the same time shielding them from it. Focusing specifically on New York's Chinatown, a community established more than a century ago, Zhou offers a thorough and modern treatment of the enclave as a socioeconomic system, distinct form, but intrinsically linked with, the larger society. Zhou's central theme is that Chinatown does not keep immigrant Chinese from assimilating into mainstream society, but instead provides an alternative means of incorporation into society that does not conflict with cultural distinctiveness. Concentrating on the past two decades, Zhou maintains that community networks and social capital are important resources for reaching socioeconomic goals and social positions in the United States; in Chinatown, ethnic employers use family ties and ethnic resources to advance socially. Relying on her family's networks in New York's Chinatown and her fluency in both Cantonese and Mandarin, the author, who was born in the People's Republic of China, makes extensive use of personal interviews to present a rich picture of the daily work life in the community. She demonstrates that for many immigrants, low-paid menial jobs provide by the enclave are expected as a part of the time-honored path to upward social mobility of the family. Min Zhou is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.

粗略讀瞭一遍，從Enclave-Economy的角度來審視中國城社會的社會經濟結構。整體的論證比較嚴謹，最大的啓發是不要預設單一的移民融入模式。

评分似乎有很多比較隨意的推論，難道是經濟學看社會學的感覺？
评分關於1965年前後的對比很有意思，內容很accessible，兩小時就可以基本看完。
