Washington Odyssey tells the story, tracing the growth and transformation of ethnic and cultural communitiesNative American, African American, European, Latino, and Asian Americanthroughout Washingtons history. Seventeen wideranging essays, accompanied by more than fifty photographs, challenge stereotypes and draw out common threads from the richly woven fabric that is Washington, D.C.Tracing the story of the Districts African American community in detail, Washington Odyssey also chronicles the arrival of foreignborn groupsGermans, Jews, Chinese, Greeks, and Italianswho added immensely to the cultural texture of the cityscape. The disparities of the migrant experience are explored, from the fashionable neighborhoods of wealthy latenineteenthcentury migrants from the American West, to the alley communities and birthplace networks that sheltered and sustained poor black families. Washingtons most recent newcomers are here too: Latino, Caribbean, African, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, and Korean immigrants are contributing to a rebirth of the citys entrepreneurial traditions and continuing to redefine the meaning of American pluralism.
