| Abstract: | This paper briefly reviews the sociological literature on the “New” Chinatown phenomenon stressing its structural location
vis-à-vis the “Old” Chinatown and the homeland. It defines the New Chinatown as a panethnopolis, that is a global neighborhood
with a majority population of Chinese immigrants and of other ethnic groups of mostly Asian descent. It analyzes more particularly
the formation, development, and integration of San Francisco’s Richmond District’s New Chinatown into both the city where
it is located and the network of transglobal sites to which it belongs. It provides an interpretation of the New Chinatown
as a cultural enclave within the context of globalization theory. |
