Abstract
In this paper, I examine how Los Angeles Chinatown is situated within the new economic and social dynamics of race, space, and power in the global city. As a participant observer in Los Angeles Chinatown activities, I have given as well as attended public lectures and through volunteering with the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California and the Chinese American Museum of Los Angeles. Working with the historical museums, I directed students of Occidental College in conducting oral histories of people in Chinatown. I also conducted several interviews with art gallery owners and staff of the cultural preservation and heritage organizations in Los Angeles Chinatown on the new art scene, gentrification, and redevelopmental trends in Chinatown.
