Chinese New Year celebration in Boston
Description:
This photo was taken during the Chinese New Year celebration in Boston Chinatown in 2012. Boston has one of the oldest Chinatowns in the US, originating with a small settlement of Chinese workers in the 1870s. Chinatown is a place where one can find old traditions preserved as well as new, emergent forms of culture being created. Students in this class participate in a Chinatown Scavenger Hunt that prompts them to look for traces of the past, as well as for evidence of new, evolving forms of culture or business in this historic community.
