Narrating displacement in los Angeles Chinatown  aUrban Affairs Review    a58(1), Jan, 2022: p.196-228  aLos Angeles Chinatown is one of the oldest North American urban Chinatowns and experiencing changes that are redefining the neighborhood. Yet, not all community leaders label these changes as gentrification that directly displaces the community. This article examines how community leaders representing business, residential, and cultural interests engage in the politics of placemaking through their narratives of a new development, Blossom Plaza. Community leaders do not always view gentrification as a primary direct displacement, and instead emphasize how a secondary and symbolic displacement is happening historically, physically, economically, and politically in Chinatown. However, they also vary in whether they see these changes as ultimately reshaping the neighborhood to maintain its unique identity, which is linked to how they envision Chinatown as an ethnic space. The findings highlight the importance of considering symbolic displacement in gentrification studies about historic ethnic enclaves. – Reproduced   aGentrification, Chinatown, Ethnic enclaves, Placemaking, Community politics.  933554  aUrban Affairs Review    aCPMMUNITY POLITICS  cAR  00102ddc40709394747aIIPAbIIPAd2022-10-07h58(1), Jan, 2022: p.196-228pAR127272r2022-10-07yAR
