  • On Behalf of the National Council of Asian Pacific
    April 16, 2020 Dear Member of Congress: On behalf of the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA), the Democracy Initiative, and the undersigned organizations, we are writing to denounce the continued increase in racist attacks and discrimination against the Asian American community, and to express our support for H.Res. 908, introduced by Representative Grace Meng (D-NY-6) and its Senate companion to be introduced by Senators Kamala Harris (D-CA), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI); both of which condemn all forms of anti-Asian sentiment related to COVID- 19. Hate and bigotry are not consistent with realizing the promise of American democracy where all of us have an equal voice. COVID-19 is a public health crisis that has fundamentally disrupted our way of life and is saddling our most vulnerable individuals and communities with significant new burdens. Our collective focus must be on overcoming this challenge and caring for one another. As the number of COVID-19 cases have increased, so too have attacks targeting Asian Americans. On March 14th, the New York Post published an article of a Chinese American father walking his son to the bus stop and was verbally and physically attacked by an angry stranger.1 Just days later in Texas, a Burmese man and his son were stabbed at a local Sam’s Club by a young man who attacked them because of their race.2 As these attacks have continued surging, we are concerned that as our country continues to struggle to overcome COVID-19, anxiety, frustration and fear will intensify before it subsides.

  • Chinese Philosophy: Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhist
    Introduction “Chinese People in Hawaii and The Wo Hing Society,” is intended to provide historical information about the Chinese who came to Hawaii, especially those who came to Maui. Elements of the story include their arrival, the establishment of Chinatowns, their religious and cultural practices, the significance of Chinese organizations (Tong and Hui Kwan), and the comings and goings of Sun Yat-sen to Hawaii and Maui. All of these elements played a part in the history of the Wo Hing Temple and the Wo Hing Society. Other topics discussed are Chee Kong Tong, temple festivals and cultural events, and the Society’s old documents (1906 through 1990). This document is the result of my volunteer work as cultural advisor for the Wo Hing Society. It also stems from my work as a docent at the Wo Hing temple/museum from 2000 to 2003, where I have had the objective of putting together all possible information about this historic building. It is to be used as a reference for the museum docents, and for those visitors interested in Hawaiian Chinese history and culture. This piece of work is just the beginning. I hope it will stimulate an increased participation from people in all walks of life, particularly from the Chinese communities who may still have stories from this time. There is 1 still much information missing. I hope this document encourages people to come forward with their stories to fill in the missing parts. Please kindly contact me if you have information to share or if you plan to use any part of the document, to ensure that the purpose of renewing interest in Chinese culture and history is accomplished.

  • Performing Chinatown: Hollywood Cinema, Tourism, and the Making of a Los Angeles Community, 1882-1943
    Performing Chinatown: Hollywood Cinema, Tourism, and the Making of a Los Angeles Community, 1882-1943 By William Gow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Catherine Ceniza Choy, Co-Chair Professor Shari Huhndorf, Co-Chair Associate Professor Weihong Bao Associate Professor Michael Omi Spring 2018 Copyright © 2018 by William Gow Abstract Performing Chinatown: Hollywood Cinema, Tourism, and the Making of a Los Angeles Community, 1882-1943 By William Gow Doctorate in Philosophy in Ethnic Studies with a designated emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Catherine Ceniza Choy, Co-Chair Professor Shari Huhndorf, Co-Chair Examining a period of national debate over immigration and U.S. citizenship, this dissertation foregrounds the social, economic, and political contexts through which representations of Chinatown in Los Angeles were produced and consumed. My dissertation asks: how did Chinese Americans in Los Angeles create, negotiate, and critically engage changing representations of Chinatown? To what extent did popular representations and economic opportunities in Hollywood inform life in Los Angeles Chinatown? And in what ways were the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship and national belonging related to popular representations of Chinatown? To answer these questions, this project examines four different “Chinatowns” in Los Angeles—Old Chinatown, New Chinatown, China City, and MGM’s set for The Good Earth—between the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 and the law’s symbolic repeal in 1943 during World War II.

  • Health, Medicine, and Power in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah
    HEALTH, MEDICINE, AND POWER IN THE SALT LAKE VALLEY, UTAH, 1869-1945 by Benjamin Michael Cater A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Utah December 2012 Copyright © Benjamin Michael Cater 2012 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF DISSERTATION APPROVAL The dissertation of Benjamin Michael Cater has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: W.

Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the social history of medicine in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah, from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. It contends that race and class played disproportionate roles in the creation and evolution of Progressive Era health reforms. White middle-class residents embraced new scientific theories about physical health to bring about much needed programs in public sanitation and vaccination, hospital care, welfare services for the poor, and workplace safety legislation—all of which became necessary as Utah experienced increased immigration, industrialization, and urbanization at the turn of the century. Although these programs sometimes became embroiled in religious disputes between Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and non-Mormon “gentiles,” after Utah statehood in 1896 and efforts by Mormons to Americanize, religious tension diminished to allow powerful whites to implement and unequally benefit from these programs.
