Chinese St. Louis: From Enclave to Cultural Community is a 2004 non-fiction book by Huping Ling, published by Temple University Press.
Ling argued that the Chinese of St. Louis focused on, in Ling's words, "maintaining and preserving its cultural heritage" as it no longer has a particular place in the metropolitan area where it is concentrated; Haiming Liu of California State Polytechnic University took that statement and argued that it shows that a "flexible social network" is how, by the 2000s, many Chinese American groups are characterized.[1] Shehong Chen of the University of Massachusetts, Lowell stated that the author uses "ample facts" to support that assertion.[2]
