Examining the San Gabriel Valley, Wendy Cheng unpacks questions of how identity-especially racial identity-is shaped by place. Informed by nearly seventy interviews, Cheng argues that people's daily experiences deeply influence their racial consciousness, providing a model for considering the spatial dimensions of racial formation and the significant demographic shifts taking place across the national landscape.
