    “WE CAN’T EVEN PLAY OURSELVES”: MIXED-RACE ACTRESSES IN THE EARLY TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES AUGUST 2017 By Valerie M. Lo Dissertation Committee: Robert Perkinson, Chairperson Mari Yoshihara Jonna Eagle Konrad Ng Jonathan Okamura Keywords: Mixed race, Ambiguity, Post-Racial, Color-blind, Film ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project has been a test of my resiliency and grew from my desire to add a small contribution to the ongoing discussion of mixed race representations in film and television. Many people have come into my life in the last several years and encouraged my studies, talked excitedly with me, and subtly (or blatantly) pushed me to continue when I thought the road ahead looked too ominous. In 2005, at San Francisco State University’s Asian American Studies banquet, my Master’s thesis chair, Wei Ming Dariotis, remarked that a PhD was in the stars for me. Those words stayed close to me during my graduate work at the University of Hawai'i. My first teaching assistantship with Isabelle Peluad at San Francisco State University in Asian American Literature showed me exactly what I wanted to immerse myself in for the rest of my life. Graduate courses with Russell Jeung and Madeline Hsu reaffirmed my desire to work within the field of Asian American Studies and continue on to a doctorate program. My coursework in American Studies was rigorous and pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.

    JOHN E. DUMSICK, P.E. (VA) 306 E. Custis Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia (703) 909-3650 / [email protected] April 8, 2019 Honorable Justin Wilson, Mayor, and Members of the City Council City Hall Alexandria, Virginia 22314 RE: 619 South Lee Street, Alexandria, Virginia (APPEAL of BAR Nos. 2018-00410 and 2018-00411) I am writing to you as a licensed professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia, who has over 15 years of dedicated experience on the preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, relocation, dismantlement and reconstruction of existing and culturally significant structures. As a professional engineer and concerned resident of Alexandria, I am taken aback by the rationale advanced to justify the demolition of a 19th century, historic, rear Kitchen addition of the historic structure located at 619 South Lee Street in Alexandria, Virginia. I ask you to set aside the decision of the BAR and uphold the recommendations of the BAR staff report to retain and preserve the historic curve of the Kitchen addition. Based on my professional preservation engineering experience, I find the argument used before the BAR — that the difficulties of maintenance and repair justify the demolition of the historic curve — is unsupportable. As many of us who own or work with historic structures know, all historic and existing buildings require periodic preventative maintenance and unscheduled repairs that often require innovative strategies for their preservation. The proposed demolition of the historic curve is for a component which has been previously documented as a significant and distinctive historic feature to the site. This masonry addition has a shallow gabled roof and exterior walls constructed of brick masonry.
