Book excerpt: This project adopts an interracial framework in studying the convergence and divergence of minority experiences in a highly racialized urban setting, treating the Chinese immigrant experience as a pivot through which to examine the complex process of the multiracial transformation of white majority neighborhoods. But it also goes beyond the hegemonic black/white binary in studying race relations in the United States, exploring the interconnectedness among different minority experiences and aiming to bridge the gap between a U.S.-centered view of race and a transnational perspective generated by recent scholarship on migration and transnationalism.
