Gandhi Marg : the social construction and production of an ethnic economy in Chicago

Gandhi Marg : the social construction and production of an ethnic economy in Chicago In this paper, I critically examine the processes underlying the reconfiguration of urban space by players in an Asian Indian ethnic economy in the city of Chicago. I argue that Asian Indian immigrants have altered city space to fit their personal visions of a dynamic, successful ethnic commercial center that represents multiple possibilities simultaneously: a location for Indian place‐making, the experience of community, and a site for political power. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png City & Society Wiley

Abstract

In this paper, I critically examine the processes underlying the reconfiguration of urban space by players in an Asian Indian ethnic economy in the city of Chicago. I argue that Asian Indian immigrants have altered city space to fit their personal visions of a dynamic, successful ethnic commercial center that represents multiple possibilities simultaneously: a location for Indian place‐making, the experience of community, and a site for political power.
