In this economy, the path isn’t getting any less steep. But I recognize now, that the path is actually wide. It is not just me who is on it, but all those who have helped me travel this path. Thank you, professors at University of California, Riverside. All of you have touched my mind and my heart such that English literature is not only my work but also my love. Your spiritual generosity, your intellectual brilliance, your wise patience, your kind enthusiasm and support ! each and every moment you offered helped keep me on this path.

  • How Terrorist Campaigns End
    Department of Economic and Political Studies University of Helsinki Finland Acta Politica 41 How Terrorist Campaigns End The Campaigns of the Rode Jeugd in the Netherlands and the Symbionese Liberation Army in the United States Leena Malkki ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki, for public examination in the lecture room 5, University main building, on June 11, 2010, at 12 noon. Helsinki 2010 ISBN 978-952-10-6266-7 (pbk.) ISSN 0515-3093 Helsinki University Print Helsinki 2010 Abstract This study explores the decline of terrorism by conducting source-based case studies on two left-wing terrorist campaigns in the 1970s, those of the Rode Jeugd in the Netherlands and the Symbionese Liberation Army in the United States. The purpose of the case studies is to bring more light into the interplay of different external and internal factors in the development of terrorist campaigns. This is done by presenting the history of the two chosen campaigns as narratives from the participants’ points of view, based on interviews with participants and extensive archival material. Organizational resources and dynamics clearly influenced the course of the two campaigns, but in different ways. This divergence derives at least partly from dissimilarities in organizational design and the incentive structure. Comparison of even these two cases shows that organizations using terrorism as a strategy can differ significantly, even when they share ideological orientation, are of the same size and operate in the same time period. Theories on the dynamics of terrorist campaigns would benefit from being more sensitive to this.

  • Celebrating the Anniversary of the JCCCNC and Honoring Paul Osaki and Marjorie Fletcher for Their Many Years of Service and Dedication to the JCCCNC
    Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California CENTER Summer / Fall 2013 | Volume 38 Celebrating the Anniversary of the JCCCNC and honoring Paul Osaki and Marjorie Fletcher for their many years of service and dedication to the JCCCNC “The Place Where the Arts, Culture and Community Come ALIVE” Saturday, September 21, 2013 4:00 - 8:00 P.M. Featuring appetizers from award-winning San Francisco chefs and the main course by Pagoda Floating Restaurant. MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Marj, I want to congratulate you on a recognition long overdue for your service and dedication to the Center. I wish there were words that could truly express how thankful I am to you for working with me for the past 24 years, but even if there were, sometimes a thank you is never enough. I was never quite sure why you stayed to work with me all these years, after having retired from working for the Federal JCCCNC Board Officers government for over 40 years. All I know is that I never deserved to have you here. Kaz Maniwa Chairman of the Board Donna Kotake Back in 1989, I remember when I first heard that a recent retiree named Mrs. Fletcher President who knew nothing about the Center or the San Francisco Japanese American community was going to join Brad Yamauchi our Board of Directors. I thought, this lady must be lost, have the wrong organization or must be crazy! It Vice President Donna Kimura turned out that I was right; you were all of those. I know this because I was too, having just accepted the job Vice President as the new interim Executive Director, but together we somehow figured it out and our lives and the life of Myron Okada this organization would be changed forever.

  • The Immigrant and Asian American Politics of Visibility
    ANXIETIES OF THE FICTIVE: THE IMMIGRANT AND ASIAN AMERICAN POLITICS OF VISIBILITY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY SOYOUNG SONJIA HYON IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY RODERICK A. FERGUSON JOSEPHINE D. LEE ADVISERS JUNE 2011 © Soyoung Sonjia Hyon 2011 All Rights Reserved i Acknowledgements There are many collaborators to this dissertation. These are only some of them. My co-advisers Roderick Ferguson and Josephine Lee mentored me into intellectual maturity. Rod provided the narrative arc that structures this dissertation a long time ago and alleviated my anxieties of disciplinarity. He encouraged me to think of scholarship as an enjoyable practice and livelihood. Jo nudged me to focus on the things that made me curious and were fun. Her unflappable spirit was nourishing and provided a path to the finishing line. Karen Ho’s graduate seminar taught me a new language and framework to think through discourses of power that was foundational to my project. Her incisive insights always push my thinking to new grounds. The legends around Jigna Desai’s generosity and productive feedback proved true, and I am lucky to have her on my committee. The administrative staff and faculty in American Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Minnesota have always been very patient and good to me. I recognize their efforts to tame unruly and manic graduate students like myself. I especially thank Melanie Steinman for her administrative prowess and generous spirit. Funding from the American Studies Department and the Leonard Memorial Film Fellowship supported this dissertation.
