This project is funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services and the full title of the project is Chicago community Pavilion in Ping Tom Park, Chicago. Photo courtesy of Chinese-American informatics: Places, uses, resources. Museum of Chicago. Our interest here is to examine the population of Chicago, in particular a subset of ethnicities and community areas, and analyze how these communities are navigating the digital age. Stage one is to understand the communities today and discover how they are represented in cyberspace. Thus our initial products include a webliography and bibliography on each community and we are honored to partner with experts on these communities. Further work will entail surveying the communities for public access computing sites (Places), interviewing members of community organizations concerning how they use digital tools (Uses), and helping a subset of these groups create digital resources that represent their cultural heritage and identity (Resources). The project’s theoretical framework centers on social capital and social networks. This bibliography defines Chinese not as a nationality but as Brodt, Bonita.

  • Chinatown and Urban Redevelopment: a Spatial Narrative of Race, Identity, and Urban Politics 1950 – 2000
    CHINATOWN AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: A SPATIAL NARRATIVE OF RACE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN POLITICS 1950 – 2000 BY CHUO LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor Dianne Harris Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Faranak Miraftab Abstract The dissertation explores the intricate relations between landscape, race/ethnicity, and urban economy and politics in American Chinatowns. It focuses on the landscape changes and spatial struggles in the Chinatowns under the forces of urban redevelopment after WWII. As the world has entered into a global era in the second half of the twentieth century, the conditions of Chinatown have significantly changed due to the explosion of information and the blurring of racial and cultural boundaries. One major change has been the new agenda of urban land planning which increasingly prioritizes the rationality of capital accumulation. The different stages of urban redevelopment have in common the deliberate efforts to manipulate the land uses and spatial representations of Chinatown as part of the socio-cultural strategies of urban development. A central thread linking the dissertation’s chapters is the attempt to examine the contingent and often contradictory production and reproduction of socio-spatial forms in Chinatowns when the world is increasingly structured around the dynamics of economic and technological changes with the new forms of global and local activities. Late capitalism has dramatically altered city forms such that a new understanding of the role of ethnicity and race in the making of urban space is required.

  • Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean
    Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art EXHIBITION FACT SHEET Organized by the Chinese American Museum (CAM) in partnership with the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University and the California African American Museum (CAAM), Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art is presented in two parts: History and Art of the Chinese Caribbean Diaspora at CAAM and Contemporary Chinese Caribbean Art at CAM. Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art is part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles, taking place from September 2017 through January 2018 at more than 70 cultural institutions across Southern California. Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty. The presenting sponsor is Bank of America. Description: Circles and Circuits explores the art of the Chinese Caribbean diaspora from the early 20th century to the present day. The presentation at CAAM traces the history of Chinese Caribbean art from the 1930s through the period of the region’s independence movements, showcasing the contributions of artists little known outside their own countries, such as Sybil Atteck (Trinidad and Tobago) and Manuel Chong Neto (Panama), and providing a new context for understanding the better-known work of Wifredo Lam (Cuba). At CAM, the exhibition focuses on the work of contemporary artists such as Albert Chong and Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, as well as artists of the ongoing Chinese Caribbean diaspora. Publication: The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog that will be the first publication devoted to Chinese Caribbean art history and visual culture.

Meeting themes are rarely “ripped from the headlines” as if they were scripts from television’s Law and Order. However, the heated national debate over comprehensive immigration reform calls attention to American history’s perennial themes: the peopling of the United States and the great vitality derived from the diversity of the American population. “Crossing Borders,” then, seemed the appropriate choice to be the thematic focus of this year’s meeting.

  • Chinese Immigration and Its Implications on Urban Management in Los Angeles
    Chen X. CHINESE IMMIGRATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON URBAN MANAGEMENT IN LOS ANGELES CHINESE IMMIGRATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON URBAN MANAGEMENT IN LOS ANGELES Xueming CHEN Virginia Commonwealth University ement 923 West Franklin Street, Richmond, VA 23284, United States of America [email protected] Abstract This paper reviews the Chinese immigration history in Los Angeles, with Chinatown representing its urbanization process and San Gabriel Valley representing its suburbanization process. These two processes are distinct and have different impacting factors. This empirical study also compares similarities and differences of the urban development patterns between the Chinese Americans and the mainstream white Americans. Furthermore, the paper examines the implications of Chinese immigration on local urban management from political, cultural, and socioeconomic aspects. Keywords: urbanization, suburbanization, Los Angeles, Chinatown, San Gabriel Valley. 1. Introduction Los Angeles County is the most populous, multi-ethnic county in the United States (U.S.) with an existing total population exceeding 10 million. Of all the U.S. counties, Los Angeles County has most Chinese American population. In the year 2000, the County’s total Chinese American population Number 4(13) / November 2009 amounted to 377,301, which was 33.6% and 15.6% of all Chinese American population living in California (1,122,187) and U.S. (2,422,970), respectively (Source: http://www.ameredia.com/resources/demographics/chinese.html). Therefore, examining Chinese Americans’ urban development patterns in Los Angeles clearly has its national significance. A good urban management requires a clear understanding about its population, including ethnic population. Theoretical Empirical and Researches in Urban Manag With the globalization trend and emergence of China, Chinese Americans will play an ever important role in future American urbanmanagement, economy and politics.

Unfortunately, Los Angeles Chinatown is not exempt from this clichéd legacy. Such representations have overshadowed the critical role of this community as both a cultural center for new immigrants and a location for important connections with surrounding communities. The new exhibition, (de)Constructing Chinatown, is an artist showcase of Los Angeles Chinatown, revealing a the geographical space in a state constant change, from the original home of Historic Chinatown, where Union Station now sits, to the current home of “New Chinatown,” along the Broadway Avenue corridor, the exhibition provides an alternative view in contrast to preconceived notions about Los Angeles Chinatown.
