Gong, Krasnyanskiy, and Lim, 1 Bensonhurst's Growing Chinese Gong, Krasnyanskiy, and Lim, 1 Bensonhurst’s Growing Chinese Community By Fred Gong, Benjamin Krasnyanskiy and Crystal Lim A Chinese immigrant once said that “New York offers many fortunes but unequal opportunities to newcomers. Not everyone can make it here. It is like a melting pot for some, a pressure cooker for many others, and still a Dumpster for the unfortunate.” Chinese immigrants started arriving to New York as early as the 1850s but only in the last four decades did they become a major ethnic group.1 Initially, most of the immigrants came from mainland China as sojourners. Legal exclusions prevented many of the Chinese from coming to America and, with families divided, some of those who had migrated returned permanently to China.2 Once the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was passed, very few Chinese were able to enter America and the growth of their community virtually stopped.3 It was only during the 1960s when an influx of Chinese immigrants started arriving in the United States again. Although it only played a minor role, the 1958 Kennedy Emergency Immigration Act was a starting point that allowed the Chinese to once again enter America. As a result of it, 5,000 Chinese were granted entry during China’s “Great Leap Forward,” Mao Zedong’s campaign to turn the country into an industrial nation. In 1965, the Hart-Celler Act abolished the national-origins quota system and emphasized the importance of admitting skilled laborers and of unifying families.4 The result was a massive immigration from China. There were 237,000 Chinese in America in 1960, and more than 3 million Chinese in America by 2005. Unlike pre-exclusion immigrants who came from the mainland, many of the post-1965 immigrants came from the greater Chinese diaspora, which included locations such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia.5 The immigrants were also diverse in terms Gong, Krasnyanskiy, and Lim, 2 of socioeconomic status, but still tended to settle in urban enclaves, which would eventually form the many Chinatowns present in New York – including the one in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. Early On Chinatown in Manhattan was New York’s original hub for Chinese immigrants. In the first years following the establishment of the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act, large numbers of Chinese immigrants moved there. As the area became more densely populated, the inflated housing prices and overcrowding became undesirable for both established and incoming immigrants. Crime was another factor that led many immigrants to move away from Chinatown. Chinese triads often took money from many Chinese-owned businesses and if the store owners did not provide their “donation,” gangs would leave bullets in red envelopes, threatening to shoot the merchant. 6 Chinese gangs were also involved in the heroin trade, turning New York into the heroin hotspot for America. Since the immigrants spoke a variety of dialects, the police and F.B.I had a difficult time tracking down these gangs. Since many of the earlier immigrants focused on work, parents did not have a lot of time to spend with their children, making criminal and gang activity more likely. 7 Brooklyn became a popular alternative destination because it provided cheaper housing and living expenses and sheltered immigrants from the crime of Chinatown while still maintaining accessibility and convenience to the area. Sunset Park was the first Brooklyn Chinatown because, at the time, it had inexpensive real estate and was seen as a place of hope and prosperity. Sunset Park quickly emerged as a safe haven for Chinese immigrants who wanted to avoid the steep prices of Manhattan and Queens while still enjoying a sense of community. Strings of Chinese markets and restaurants developed.8 However, as Sunset Park Gong, Krasnyanskiy, and Lim, 3 began to gentrify, the property prices and maintenance fees became unaffordable to many immigrants. As a result, Bensonhurst emerged as Brooklyn’s second Chinatown, serving as refuge for those who could not afford the prices and overcrowding of Manhattan’s Chinatown and Sunset Park. The Chinese presence was immediately felt by the local residents of the area, for many restaurants, markets, and other Chinese-owned stores quickly emerged on the streets of Bensonhurst. The location itself was favorable for the influx of immigrants because it is situated along the D and N subway line, which provides quick and convenient access to Chinatown and Sunset Park, the hubs for the Chinese immigrants. 9 Early in the 20th century, a huge number of immigrants from southern Italy came to New York City, and some began to settle in Bensonhurst for the same reasons the Chinese would later be attracted there. Large numbers of Jewish immigrants also found a home in the mostly Italian neighborhood.10 As these groups began to move to the suburbs, Staten Island or more upscale areas of Brooklyn, in the 1970s and later, the Chinese immigration arrived in Bensonhurst. Initially, the Italians were not accepting of the new Chinese immigrants because the immigrants did not know how to speak English and did not assimilate to the national or local culture because they were focused solely on work. Even the immigrants who were settled economically were unable to purchase real estate in certain parts of the area because the Italian homeowners refused to sell to the Chinese, often excluding entire avenues.11 Businesses faced similar difficulties because the more established members of the community had negative sentiments towards the new immigrants. What now? Bensonhurst’s demographic has changed drastically since the 1960s. Once home to many thousands of Italian Americans, Bensonhurst is increasingly inhabited by Chinese Americans.12 Gong, Krasnyanskiy, and Lim, 4 According to the American Community Survey, by 2013, 35% (69,554) of people had Chinese ancestry compared to around 20% (31,315) with Italian ancestry. The community continued to grow. As of 2014, Bensonhurst was the largest Chinatown in New York City.13 Joseph Berger reported in the New York Times in 2002 that initial tensions subsided when the Italians and the Chinese realized that both groups are hard-working and not out to cause trouble.14 But Chinese Americans are still faced with a lot of discrimination and prejudice. Chinese store owners are being taunted and attacked, usually by teenagers. These delinquents shout obscenities, block entryways, smoke inside the store, steal, vandalize, and even physically attack store workers. Chinese merchants complain that the police are slow to respond to these problems. Store owners like May Lee and Cheng Hua Yin have locked their doors even though it tends to drive away customers. Cheng Hua Yin, owner of a second-floor nail salon on Bay Parkway and 67th Street, has had multiple altercations with these delinquents. However, he has given up on calling the police because, he says, they never show up. On April 19, 2015, the situation turned violent when Cheng Hua Yin was punched in the face by one of the teenagers.15 Cheng Hua Yin is not the only store owner who has run into these problems. Many other Chinese American store owners on Bay Parkway have been terrorized by teens; however, these store owners believe that these teenagers are just young and misguided rather than “bad kids.”16 Like Cheng Hua Yin, many other Chinese Americans often fail to contact the authorities or speak out against social injustices. They may find dealing with police officers to be a challenge considering the language barrier and the time it takes.17 Their silence, however, makes them an easy target for more vandalism and disruptions of their businesses. Gong, Krasnyanskiy, and Lim, 5 Chinese Americans are often painted as the “model minority.” They are not extremely active in politics; they were able to establish themselves in America without a lot of assistance; they are portrayed as hard-working; they keep to themselves. While some of these attributes can be construed as positives, they are stereotypes that limit the Chinese immigrants to a portrayal as quiet people who work hard and study hard at school. The Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC) is one of the main organizations that help Chinese immigrants in Bensonhurst speak out and fight against this stereotype. Currently located in three out of the five boroughs, CPC helps immigrants find housing, jobs, and opportunity in New York City. It also provides services and organizes protests to combat social injustices that Chinese-Americans face.18 Steve Mei, the assistant director of CPC’s Youth Services Division, moved to New York City in the 1980s when he was a child. Growing up in Manhattan’s Chinatown, he witnessed a lot of crime and poverty. His family followed the trend of moving into Brooklyn when he was a teenager, specifically Sunset Park. Steve currently resides in Sheepshead Bay, another area with a rising Chinese population. As the assistant director, Mei oversees the services provided to teenagers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. When asked about the objective of services provided for Chinese teenagers, he explained a surprising dichotomy between old Chinese immigrants and new Chinese immigrants. Second generation teenagers, mainly from mainland China, are told to focus on school, but first generation teenagers, mainly from Fuzhou in the Fujian province are told to focus on work and making money for their family. As a result, many Fuzhou teenagers are not serious about school. CPC’s Youth Service Division tries to encourage all teenagers (not exclusively Chinese Americans) to pursue higher education or accept jobs that require higher skills.19 Gong, Krasnyanskiy, and Lim, 6 Mei also commented on the idea of social and political activism in the Chinese American population.

  • The Unknown History of New York City's Chinatown: a Story of Crime During the Years of American Prohibition Kathryn Christense
    The Unknown History of New York City’s Chinatown: A Story of Crime During the Years of American Prohibition Kathryn Christensen: Undergraduate of History and Asian Studies at SUNY New Paltz Popular interpretations of immigrants in New York City during the era of Prohibition have looked at it through the lens of European immigrants. Groups such as the Italian Mafia, and Irish gangs in New York City are a well-rehearsed story within the history of Prohibition. However, Europeans were not the only immigrants that began to flood into the ports of New York City during the early 20th century. Within New York City’s Chinatown there was the emergence of a vast network of organized criminal activity, along with various raids revealing rice wine moonshine and other violations of the 18th amendment, just like their European counterparts. Though largely overlooked in the historiography, this paper argues that Chinatown,and the Chinese in New York City played an integral role in the Prohibition era United States. In order to understand the Chinese population that lived in the United States during the early 1900s, it is important to lay the framework for why they first came to the United States. Like many other immigrant groups that immigrated during this time, many Chinese came over to escape a difficult political and economic climate. In China, the Opium war left the Chinese defeated by the British Empire leaving its reputation as the protectorate and superpower of the East shattered. This was accompanied by famines and floods across the nation resulting in economic catastrophe which further resulted in civil war and several uprisings, most notably the Taiping Rebellion.1 The unstable environment in China caused several Chinese to flee the country.

  • Background—Early Chinese Americans
    Jessica Yuan CASA 103 March 15, 2007 Dining Out in Chinatown: Uncovering the Archaeological Attributes of a Historical Overseas Chinese Restaurant Introduction Utilizing the Market Street artifact collection, this project will attempt to address the issue of what elements constitute a commercial dining establishment of the 19th century Chinatown. Investigating material remains from the Market Street Chinatown site in San Jose, I will explore the defining attributes that characterize historical Chinese restaurants in immigrant communities, with the aim of engendering a more complete understanding of how these restaurants can be identified in an archaeological context. My overarching research question is broken down into smaller, more specific components in my analysis. As there is presently no existing profile of the archaeological characteristics of a restaurant in a 19th century Chinese community, I will first need to formulate a profile on my own from documentary sources that I can use as a basis for evaluating remains from the Market Street Chinatown site. Next is an examination of the artifact profile of the materials recovered from another Market Street feature not associated with a commercial dining establishment. Then, analyzing a collection excavated from a feature that provenience and preliminary analysis suggest may have been connected to a formerly existent restaurant, I will endeavor to examine the validity of such a speculation of association by comparison with my tentative restaurant profile and the materials recovered from the other onsite feature representing a “non-restaurant” assemblage and serving as a control. This will enable an assessment of whether the collection of interest more closely resembles the artifact profile theorized for a restaurant or that of the control assemblage not related to commercial food service, and evaluation of which onsite assemblage was more consistent with the restaurant profile.

  • Chinatown: a Taste of China in New York City
    Chinatown: A Taste of China in New York City Historical Overview Chinatown in New York City was the second Chinatown created after the one made in San Francisco, California. Similar to the first one, Chinatown was originally a place for Chinese immigrants to come to after getting off their long journey on the ships. Originally the Chinese immigrants came to the West in hopes of getting a quick fortune from the Gold Rush or earning money from working on the Transcontinental Railroad. However, they soon realized that there was no potential to obtain wealth or to gain a job since the railroad was completed. They began to work for low wages at textile or cigarette making factories. However, since these immigrants were working at drastically lower prices, Americans were unable to get a job. This caused tension to grow and the Chinese faced increasing discrimination and violence (Waxman par.2-4). To escape these hardships, a majority of Chinese immigrants began to move towards the East Coast. These immigrants typically lived in the slums of the Five Points and the boundary of New York. By staying together, they would be able to support each other and separate themselves from the rest of society to live their own lives. As a result of not assimilating and stealing jobs, the U.S. government enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This diminished the number of Chinese immigrants who could come to the United States unless they had a special permit to enter. This caused the Chinese immigrants to become devastated because they could not bring their family relatives or friends to join them in the United States.

  • Portland Chinatown, 1886
    Portland Chinatown, 1886 By West Shore Magazine This color lithograph accompanied an article titled “A Night in Chinatown” in the October 1886 issue of West Shore, a Portland news and literary magazine. Several thousand Chinese lived in Portland in the 1880s, most of them unmarried men who plied a variety of occupations, as depicted in this illustration. Most lived in two enclaves: an urban Chinatown which extended along what is today SW 2nd Avenue between Taylor and Pine streets, and a community of vegetable gardeners who lived and farmed along the banks of Tanner Creek in the vicinity of SW 19th and W Burnside and PGE Park. The urban Chinatown consisted of retail shops, residential apartments, temples, and meeting and gaming rooms that occupied buildings leased from white landlords. The See Wa & Company building, built in 1882, is an ordinary three-story commercial building with modest Italiante detailing, such as the arched entries on the first floor, probably with cast iron columns, and the similarly arched windows above. But the tenants have added a number of touches, such as the two exterior balconies, the curved metal awning on the third level, the pennant and lanterns. The round windows are very unusual, and may be adaptations as well. Balconies were a common marker of Chinese quarters in cities and towns. One extant example in Portland, the Waldo Block at SW 2nd Avenue and Washington Street, has a recessed balcony that was added to the third floor of the 1886 Italianate commercial block in 1920. Chinese tenants also frequently altered interiors, adding rooms, half-stories, and passageways to make intensive use of the space.

    Bethany Y. Li Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) CHINATOWN 99 Hudson St, 12th Fl THEN AND NOW New York, NY 10013 tel: 212 966 5932 fax: 212 966 4303 email: [email protected] a snapshot of new york’s chinatown Chinatown: Then & Now A Snapshot of New York’s Chinatown Introduction The mention of “Chinatown” evokes many images. But for decades, Chinatown has meant home for immigrant families. Chinatown residents rely on networks of friends and relatives in the community and on affordable food and goods in nearby stores. Workers depend on jobs they find in the neighborhood and from employment agencies centered in these communities. Yet as land use struggles change downtown areas across the United States, Chinatowns are becoming increasingly destabilized as their future as sustainable low-income immigrant communities is threatened. The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) embarked on a three-city study of Chinatowns in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia to determine the current state of Chinatowns. Whereas Chinatowns used to be disfavored places to live and dumping grounds for undesirable uses, luxury and institutional developers began targeting these previously shunned areas in the 1980s and 1990s for more luxury uses including high-end condominiums and stadiums. For decades, residents, workers, small business owners, and community organizations have fought against development that threatens to weaken immigrant networks and resources in these neighborhoods. In collaboration with these community partners, academic institutions, and hundreds of volunteers, AALDEF spent a year recording block by block and lot by lot the existing land uses in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia’s Chinatown and surrounding immigrant areas.

    Little Saigon, Japantown, Chinatown – International District Vision 2030 A Community Response to the Preliminary Recommendations of the “South Downtown Livable Communities Study” June 2006 Thomas Im Edgar Yang Don Mar Tuck Eng Paul Lee Alan Cornell Paul Mar Stella Chao Sue Taoka Fen Hsiao Joyce Pisnanont Mike Olson Tomio Moriguchi Ken Katahira Virgil Domaoan Joe Nabberfeld 1 Little Saigon, Japantown, and Chinatown/International District Vision 2030 Executive Summary The City of Seattle initiated the Livable South Downtown study in 2005 as an extension of the Center City Initiative, a plan to increase housing capacity and economic activity in the downtown core. After several meetings with twenty-five South Downtown community stakeholders, the City released a draft report in January 2006, outlining land use and rezoning recommendations. An alliance of Little Saigon, Japantown, and Chinatown-International District stakeholders met to discuss the report and agreed that the City needed to broaden its scope of work, as well as its vision for the neighborhood. The community went through a visioning process and produced a narrative document called Vision 2030 (in reference to the year 2030). This vision builds on the recommendations and values of the 1998 Chinatown-International District Neighborhood Plan. This vision document describes the Little Saigon, Japantown, Chinatown-International District in the year 2030 as a healthy, vital, and vibrant community supported by safe, pedestrian-friendly streets, new and improved open spaces, and a diverse array of retail stores that support the variety of people who live in the area. Vision 2030 also advocates for a balanced mix of neighborhood housing options, ranging from condos for empty nesters to affordable family housing units.

Eight years following the publication of the text , Chowdhury published an English version of the same Chinatown Days on 11 January , 2018. Like the source text, the target text also received a good amount of critical acclamation. Renowned writers like Amitav Ghosh, Anjum Hasan waxed lyrical about the great work involving the plightful chronicles of the innocent Indo- Chinese people. Yet, like any other translated text, the target text has many intentional as well as unintentional omissions( errors)which we shall bring in light by laying much emphasis on factors like the structure, cultural references, names of characters, proverbs and idioms and the like. In this paper, we shall address the subtle politics involved in translation, along with the concerns prevalent in the same. Chowdhury’s Makam has been chosen as the source text of the present analysis and it’s translation Chinatown Days as the target text. The politics and problems of translation , the strategies adopted by the translator along with the changes the source materials undergo have been analyzed. In doing the same, both the source text and the target text have been read in parallel. Keywords: Translation ,translator, transfer, source text , target text Page | 50 Insight: An International Journal for Arts and Humanities Peer Reviewed and Refereed Vol: 1; Issue: 3 ISSN: 2582-8002 Translation is communication, a bridge through which people of different communities, having hold over different languages and having different cultures know about new cultures by reading texts from across the globe.

  • Immigration and Gentrification – a Case Study of Cultural Restructuring
    Immigration and Gentrification – a case study of cultural restructuring in Flushing, Queens WEISHAN HUANG (Max-Planck-Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Göttingen) Abstract: The aim of this article is to introduce how culture and economics intertwine in urban re-structuring before and after the 1990 recession in New York City by using the case study of Flushing, Queens. My research will bring in a cultural perspective to contribute to the understanding of gentrification as economic, social and cultural restructuring under the impact of international immigration. First, this case of neighbourhood transfiguration was initially triggered by a private immigrant developer, not a cooperation, whose successes were based on factors including Taiwanese immigrants’ residential and housing preferences in the 1980s and 1990s. Ethnic residential preference and cultural tastes are cultural factors which accelerated gentrification during the early 1990s recession. The residential pattern of Asian immigrants in New York has showed the continued concentration of ethnic enclaves since the 1980s. Secondly, there has been diversification in Flushing since the 1980s, which is different from the kind of gentrification which creates a social, economic, and racial hegemony in a neighbourhood. The diversification of races and ethnicities in this neighbourhood has increased since the 1980s through the contribution of post-1965 and later post-Cold War immigrants, especially the settlement of Asian immigrants. We need to distinguish between gentrification that creates homogenous racial or ethnic communities that push immigrants out, and this new form of super-diversity gentrification, based on a transnational flow of capital that fosters diversity and uses diversity as a form of investment capital.
