eng	Race, Space, and Place in Interior Chinatown	This paper examines Charles Yu's genre-hybrid novel Interior Chinatown (2020) through an analysis of the spatial dynamics that connect the racial (Lipsitz 2011), physical, social, and imaginative (Soja 1996) dimensions of representations of Asian Americans. It draws on the concept of racial capitalism (Robinson 1983), which explains how capitalist systems are maintained through racial hierarchies, and the concept of spatial injustice (Marcuse 2009; Soja 2010), which reveals how inequalities are materialized and maintained in space. The main argument is that despite the apparent invisibility and absence of white people ("spatial whiteness") and whiteness, the space and existence of Chinatown residents are influenced by Western and white influences, claims, and stereotypes about the Asian race.	race; space; place; Interior Chinatown; Charles Yu
