AWith Immigration at the Golden Gate: Passenger Ships, Exclusion, and Angel Island illuminating the many facets of the Chinese immigration experience in California in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Robert Barde follows the various threads of one Chinese female immigrant’s 20-month detention on Angel Island. Her experience was extraordinary—not only in being the longest known detention at the Immigration Station, but in its connection to so many important events and char- acters. Her tale is chillingly relevant to today’s debates over exclusion and detention. About the Author Robert Barde is Deputy Director of the Institute of Business and Economic Research at University of California, Berkeley. He is also co-author, with Susan Carter and Richard Sutch, of the “International Migration” chapter for the Millennial Edition of Historical Statistics of the United States. r Summer 2008 n Page 3 Civil Rights Suite CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 (left) CHSA Board President Paul Fong presented the Annie Soo Spirit Award to Dorothy Leong; (above left) Laurene Wu McClain, daughter of CHSA co-founder Thomas Wu, spoke during the program about the enduring legacy of CHSA's annual journal; (above right) Vin Pan, Sue Lee, and Eddie Wong (respective Executive Directors of Chinese for Affirmative Active, CHSA, and Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation) discuss amongst themselves.

  • 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.

    Volume 6, Number 2 May 2016 is APA Heritage Month! Spring 2016 Ed Gor: Have We Already Seen the Greatest Generation of Chinese Americans? Published almost 20 years ago, journalist and former NBC News broad- caster Tom Brokaw’s book, The Greatest Generation, chronicles what his parents’ generation—those born between 1910 and the mid-1920s— accomplished in youth and adulthood. From interviews and conversations with these women and men, he discusses the sacrifices those men and women made, the bodily harm and suffering in the war to end all wars, their remarkable diligence in building families and businesses, the cour- age they displayed in rehabilitating their physical and emotional war wounds, and the integrity of character and commitment to values that in- fused their lives. As they continued to stare down life’s challenges, they never griped or complained even as their lives were mixed with courage and perseverance, tragedy and sadness, and triumphs and miracles. Entering our 121st year of service, Chinese American Citizens Alliance continues to look ahead at how we see our role in this country by looking back at our history as an organization challenged to address society’s treatment and place for Chinese in the 1890’s. Our Archive Project to gather, categorize, and turn over our recorded history to the Stanford University Libraries remains a major undertaking. Just look for the stories of the Chinese who worked on the Transcontinental Railroad. You won’t find many names or photographs, but you can find their stories written on walls or artwork. We believe that within our own records, there may be documentation linking many C.A.C.A.

We hope this special issue of Amerasia Journal will serve to encourage others to explore their own histories, to imagine alter- native futures, and to develop new languages that ask new, braver questions of social reality. 2 Arnerasia Journal 26:1 (2000):2-30 Musings of a Chinese Arne r ican Historian Him Mark Lai No Tradition of Scholarship Among my forebearers, there was no tradition of scholarship. Thus, my deep involvement in Chinese American historical re- search was largely due to fortuitous decisions made at important junctures of my life. My father Bing was the eldest son in a poor peasant family surnamed Maak (anglicized Mark) in rural Nanhai, part of Sam Yup, west of Guangzhou (Canton). He came to America through the generosity of his maternal aunt who had retired to Guangzhou after sojourning in San Francisco Chinatown as a hairdresser and maid at the turn of the century. She not only provided financial aid but also persuaded her cousin, a merchant with the surname Lai, to bring my father along as his son. Hence my father em- barked on the S.S. Siberia and arrived at San Francisco during the beginning of 1910 as Bing Lai, a merchant’s paper son. He was among the Chinese immigrants transferred from the dilapidated shed at the Pacific Mail Steamship Company wharf to become the first tenants of the newly opened Angel Island Immigration Detention Barracks. I am doubtful whether my father was in any mood to savor this historic occasion.

    Strengthening and Advocating for Asian American Native Hawai‘ian/ Pacific Islander Communities CALIFORNIA COMMissiON ON ASIAN AND PaciFIC ISLANDER AMERICAN AFFAIRS 2012 ANNUAL REPORT Message from the Chair: BLONG XIONG GOVERNOR EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE, AND THE PEOPLE OF THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA: On behalf of the dedicated citizens who serve on the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs, I am honored to present to you this report of the Commission’s 2012 activities. Since our establishment in 2002, our goal has been to give voice to California’s vibrant, highly diverse, and continually-growing Asian and Pacific Islander American (APIA) communities. We bring public officials together with community-based and civic organizations that devote their mission and programs to the needs of their APIA constituents. The highlights in this report provide a summary of the breadth of the Commission’s activities. This year’s report also includes an historical review of the issues that the Commission has focused on over the years, since our inception a decade ago. We also pay tribute to the past appointed commissioners who served during the years since operations began in 2004. Last year was a period of change as we acknowledged the great public service of Assemblymember Warren Furutani, who retired from office. During his tenure as a state legislator, he was a moving force for the Commission and our goal to strengthen APIA communities. There was a change in Commission membership as well, with Tami Bui, Courtni Pugh, Alice Wong, and Bill Wong stepping down.
