本文提出了一种新的民族聚居模式——民族郊区。民族郊区是美国大都市地区居住区和商业区的郊区民族聚集区。它们是多民族社区，其中一个少数民族群体相当集中，但不一定占多数。本文通过分析洛杉矶民族郊区华人人口的人口概况和社会经济特征，将民族郊区模型付诸实践，以了解民族郊区作为全球经济前哨的作用。该分析还强调了按原籍国划分的社会分层，以及社区和工作场所的微观地理，这些特征揭示了民族郊区作为城市马赛克的特征。
This paper proposes a new model of ethnic settlement, the ethnoburb. Ethnoburbs are suburban ethnic clusters of residential areas and business districts in large American metropolitan areas. They are multi-ethnic communities, in which one ethnic minority group has a significant concentration, but does not necessarily comprise a majority. The paper operationalises the ethnoburb model via an analysis of the demographic profiles and socioeconomic characteristics of the ethnoburban Chinese population in Los Angeles in order to understand the ethnoburb's role as a global economic outpost. This analysis also highlights social stratification by country of origin, and the micro-geographics of neighbourhood and workplace, features which reveal the ethnoburb's character as an urban mosaic.
