Tseng studies community based organizations (CBOs) within Chinese and Vietnamese enclaves. These provide cultural services, leadership, and advocacy, facilitating social adjustment. Their viability depends on government and community support and adapting to changing political and community priorities. Even though ethnic CBOs and immigrant populations lack political voice, they represent valuable human and social capital. Ethnic CBOs have central roles to play in fostering collaboration and legitimacy across government and communities and strengthening cultural proficient health and human services to support immigrant populations. With globalization increasingly contested in immigrant neighborhoods, ethnic CBOs have become fundamental urban features that local and global development cannot do without. | |||
