Recent wave of Chinese immigrants have dramatically changed the role of Chinatown as a neighborhood and a cultural center.
-
New Chinatown was a fresh start for the Chinese, but it was like much like the rest of Los Angeles: a smart business proposition and a media campaign, albeit one designed, controlled and envision by Chinese Americans.
-
The first chapter in the history of L.A.'s Chinatown - and the first chapter of our new installment of Departures - takes us back to the first wave of immigration from China to the Pacific coast of the United States.
-
Juan submitted his personal map for the "Map Your L.A." contest.

The 4th wave of migrants in the 70's and early 80's saw a complete transformation of L.A.'s Chinatown.
-
For those of us who love L.A., the Departures team has ventured into the city to record its deep social and cultural history. We've spoken with hundreds of people (residents, historians, migrants, to name just a few) and created multi-layered portraits of the neighborhoods and people that make up our city.
-
Did you know that waves of migration to Chinatown rarely followed a direct path? It's true. For many Chinese, the first stop on their journey was not America at all, but Vietnam.
-
When a group of migrant farmers created a community garden out of an empty lot in South Central, they had no idea they were launching a movement.
-
The first wave of migration from China stretches from the age of the Californios to the creation of a new Los Angeles Chinatown in the 1930's.
