Feet In 2 Worlds: Home, Interrupted
Society & Culture
Sometimes it takes an outsider to see things that the rest of us take for granted in our daily lives. Tiu Wu is a graduate student from China studying sociology at The New School in New York City. When he looked around his neighborhood in Brooklyn he noticed an unusual number of 99-cent stores. These Chinese-owned discount shops all seemed to be selling the same merchandise and competing for the same customers.
How can they all survive, he wondered? At first, Tiu had a hard time getting store-owners to talk. He finally found one store where the woman behind the cash register agreed to answer his questions. She introduced him to a world full of surprises.
