In this talk,
Hung focuses on
Chinatown small
businesses to
analyze the
impact of the
post-9/11
decline in
garment
factories and
the increase in
Fuzhounese
migration on
ethnic
businesses.
Based on
in-depth
interviews with
Chinatown small
business owners
and non-profit
organizations,
she finds that
the events of
9/11 are part of
a chain leading
to increased
luxury
development and
displacement of
the area’s
historically
working-class
residents.
