  • The Twenty One Balloons William Pene Du Bois
    THE TWENTY ONE BALLOONS WILLIAM PENE DU BOIS WINNER OF THE NEWBERY MEDAL Author's Note Just before publication of The Twenty-One Balloons, my publishers noted a strong resemblance between my book and I story by F. Scott Fitzgerald entitled " The Diamond as Big as the Ritz." published by Charles Scribner's Sons. I read this story immediately and discovered to my horror that it was not only quite similar ·s to general plot. but was also altogether a collection of very similar ideas. This was the first I had heard of the F. Scott Fitzgerald story and I can only explain this embarrassing and. to me. maddening coincidence by a firm belief that the problem of making good use of the discovery of a fabulous amount of diamonds suggests but one obvious solution, which is secrecy. The fact that F. Scott Fitzgerald and I apparently would spend our billions in like ways right down to being dumped from bed into a bathtub is altogether. quite frankly, beyond my explanation. William Pene du Bois Januay 16, 1947 Introduction THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF TRAVEL. THE USUAL way is to take the fastest imaginable conveyance along the shortest road. The other way is not to I care particularly where you are going or how long it will take you, or whether you will get there or not. These two methods of travel are perhaps easiest to be seen by watching hunting hounds. One hound will follow his nose directly to his prey. Another will follow his nose in a roundabout way to molehills, empty rabbit holes, garbage cans, and trees; and perhaps not pay any attention to his prey even when he happens upon it.

  • Chua 2014 Dissertation (Filing)
    The Sacredness of Being There: Race, Religion, and Place-Making at San Francisco’s Presbyterian Church in Chinatown by Christopher Viboon Chua A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elaine H. Kim, Chair Professor Catherine C. Choy Professor David K. Yoo Professor Minoo Moallem Fall 2014 Abstract The Sacredness of Being There: Race, Religion, and Place-Making at San Francisco’s Presbyterian Church in Chinatown by Christopher Viboon Chua Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Elaine H. Kim, Chair Established in 1853, the Presbyterian Church in Chinatown (PCC) in San Francisco, CA is the oldest Asian church of any Christian denomination in North America and the first Chinese Protestant church outside China. Its history in the United States reaches back to the earliest days of Chinese migration to this country, giving the church a rootedness in Asian America that few other institutions can match. This dissertation examines how the contemporary community at PCC negotiates its institutional memory in creating a sense of place and a sense of collective self that is simultaneously both Protestant Christian and distinctively Chinese American. Employing the use of archival materials and oral histories conducted specifically for this project, the study explores how the three language ministries which currently comprise the church—English, Mandarin, and Cantonese—navigate historical resources and contemporary memories in different ways to support varying ideological positions in the present. The project focuses specifically on place-making and the process of investing the physical space of the church and its location in a historically evolving Chinatown with meanings that distinguish the community from the white American Protestant establishment on the one hand and from non-Christian Chinese society on the other.

  • Ada Clare, Queen of Bohemia: Her Life and Times
    ADA CLARE, QUEEN OF BOHEMIA: HER LIFE AND TIMES GLORIA RUDMAN GOLDBLATT Copyright © 2015 Gloria Rudman Goldblatt All rights reserved. To my parents, Morris and Julia Rudman, and my husband, Samuel Goldblatt ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Over the 35 years I have worked on researching and writing this book, I have had support and encouragement from many. Otherwise I would have given up long ago. First of all I am thankful to have Professor Lisa Kahaleole Hall as current editor of this book. She has infinite patience and amazing skill plus being a wonderful person. Professor Lynn C. Bloom, teacher and friend of many years, critiqued my earliest work on Ada Clare. Professor Edward Whitley, co-director with Rob Weidman of The Vault at Pfaff’s, Lehigh University’s digital archive of America’s first Bohemia, is a friend who has always believed that this Ada Clare biography merited publication and has done everything to make it happen. I never could have imagined as I first typed this book on a typewriter (in the days of no personal computers or internet) that someday my book would be an e-book in a digital historical archive! Special thanks to Professor Scott Gordon, and everyone at the Lehigh University Press. The late Professor John G. Doyle shared research over many years and also critiqued my manuscript. Professor S. Frederick Starr and Professor Holly Blake also shared research, read early chapters of my book and gave me invaluable advice. Jan Seidler Ramirez welcomed my information about Ada Clare for the exhibition about Bohemians and Greenwich Village at the Museum of the City of New York, and made efforts to get the book published.
