Chinatown is a book about memory, migration and the people who helped shape Amsterdam’s Chinese community.
Through the stories and portraits of twelve first-generation Chinese Dutch people, the book documents lives built between places, languages and generations.
Part oral history, part visual archive, Chinatown preserves personal stories that are rarely recorded — and considers what we choose to remember, what gets passed on and what might otherwise disappear.
