Reviews
“The author problematizes the notion of diversity in the southern European context, which is a much-needed addition to the existing scholarship on gentrification in traditional ethnic enclaves. The power dynamics and clashes of interests depicted in this book provide us significant and timely insights on how the social construct of a sanitized, aestheticized ethnic space for consumption was built upon a centuries' old anti-Asian milieu and refreshed by the fear of a rising China. Furthermore, Manzo skilfully illustrates how Chineseness as a cultural discourse is strategically mobilized in narratives of urban inclusion and exclusion.” (Prof. Fang Xu, Continuing Lecturer in Interdisciplinary Studies, University of California, Berkeley, CA, The USA)
