Chinamerican Culture

U.S. News and World Report’s “Success Story of One Minority Group in U.S.” and Peter Kwong’s “A Model Minority Community” describe the people and customs of the various United States Chinatowns.

It describes Chinatown as a ‘model’ society where individual hard work and continuous studying can reap great benefits.

Twentieth century New York City was a time of profound political change and social reorganization. The post World War II era particularly marked the change by introducing several prominent movements, such as the Zionist movement and the Great Migration.

Joshua Freedman’s “Freedom Now” elaborates on the importance and consequences of the Great Migration in New York City.
