“…This community consists of nearly 5,000 Vietnamese people living primarily in two census tracts. It is a low-income community, and almost all of the non-Vietnamese in the area are African Americans of limited economic means (for detailed descriptions of life in an ethnically concentrated Vietnamese American community, see Airriess and Clawson 1991;Nash 1992). …”

“…This follows the popularization of Cajun cuisine in the 1980s by Chef Paul Prudhomme, who introduced blackened redfish and various other Cajun and Creole dishes to a wide audience. Beginning in 1975, a large Vietnamese population settled along the central Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida, especially in New Orleans and greater Houston (Airriess 2007). Vietnamese immigrants worked actively in fishing and seafood markets, and crawfish soon became part of their diets (Brady 2013).…”

A crawfish industry has existed in the Pacific Northwest since at least 1893. The hearth of the signal crawfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus)-and the core of the commercial crawfish industry-was Oregon's Willamette Valley and lower Columbia River. The industry has spread eastward, to Oregon's Lake Billy Chinook and Washington's Snake River. In Oregon, the 2004-2018 average annual harvest of 82,360 pounds was slightly above its 1893-1956 average, but Washington's was less than five percent of that. Recreational crawfishing is popular in both states, and crawfish have become more abundant in seafood markets, in restaurants, and at festivals. The increase in crawfish popularity is attributed in part to culinary trends such as Cajun and Asian-Cajun cuisine, but also to the in-migration of Southerners and ethnic Asians. Nine crawfish festivals in the Pacific Northwest include the oldest crawfish festival in the USA (Tualatin) and newly created festivals. George H. Lewis's rationally constructed food festival theory, in which festivals are linked to specific social goals, is used as a framework to understand these festivals and their origins. Festival managers were interviewed, and Lewis's theory was modified to include generational changes in the role of an iconic species in regional identity.

“…7. The author acknowledges the fact that the notion of enclave as discussed in the sociological literature may not accurately reflect the different forms of contemporary ethnic settlement that, as in the case of ethnoburbs and invisiburbs, often represent new spatial models emerging in global cities and their suburbs (Airriess, 2006;Li, 2006;Li et al 2006;Lin, 1998;Skop and Li, 2003;Zonta, 2012). For discussions of ethnic enclaves see, in particular, Abrahamson, 1996;Light, 1972;Portes and Bach, 1985;Portes and Jensen 1987;Portes and Rumbaut, 1995;Sanders and Nee, 1987;Wilson and Portes, 1980;Zhou, 1992;and Zhou and Logan, 1989.…”

This study discusses the empirical evidence regarding the direction of Asian American banks' evolution in light of the recent financial crisis and other challenges associated with the increasing competition from large mainstream financial institutions in ethnic niche markets. Specifically, the study focuses on the evolution of Chinese and Korean banking and its role in Asian neighborhoods during the past decade in Los Angeles and New York, the two U.S. metropolitan areas with the largest concentrations of Asian population and Asian-owned banks. Findings indicate that Asian banks have been able to sustain their presence and activities in coethnic communities in the face of the challenges associated with increasing competitive environments and the volatility of the financial market.
