Mark Extent: 130 Cartons, 61 Boxes, 7 Oversize Folders199.4 linear feet Repository: University of California, BerkeleyThe Ethnic Studies Library Berkeley, California 94720-2360 Abstract: The Him Mark Lai Papers are divided into four series: Research Files, Professional Activities, Writings, and Personal Papers. Lai's extensive research spans over four decades, with the bulk of materials dating from 1970 to 1995. Although Lai was born and raised in the United States, he is fluent in both English and Chinese and this bilingualism is evident in the materials contained in the collection. His commitment to documenting this history is reflected in the numerous biographies of Chinese and Chinese Americans, and in the materials on Chinese overseas, particularly within the United States, and their homeland relations. His research files include information relating to family associations, Chinese American organizations, Chinatowns, the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party), and the history of China. Also represented in the collection are Lai's teaching files, materials gathered during his participation in various professional activities, his writings, biographical information, and personal miscellany. Lai's interest in Chinese newspapers is unparalleled: he subscribes to practically every Chinese newspaper available in the United States. This interest resulted in the inclusion of a significant number of newsclippings along with correspondence, interviews, manuscripts, drafts, monographs, journals, statistical data, photocopies of legal documents and FBI files, bylaws, minutes, organization records, historical documents, maps, slides, photographs and negatives.

Acquisition Information The Him Mark Lai papers were given to the Ethnic Studies Library by Him Mark Lai in 1980. Additions were made in 1999 and on February 27, 2002. Biographical Information Him Mark Lai was born on November 1, 1925 into a San Francisco working class family. The family's Chinese surname was Mark, but it became Lai in America because his father had entered the country as the paper son of a merchant with the surname Lai. Him Mark Lai received an Associate of Arts degree from City College of San Francisco in 1945 and a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1947. He was a mechanical engineer at Bechtel Power Corporation from 1953 to 1984. Through the influence of his Chinese school teacher, Yuk Ow, who was considered by many to be one of the pioneers in scholarly research of Chinese American history, Lai learned to appreciate the importance of Chinese language sources in the study of Chinese American history. A member of the Chinese Historical Society since 1965, Lai has devoted much of his life to studying and writing about Chinese American history. At the end of 1967, he initiated a series of historical articles in East/West: the Chinese-American Journal. As of 2003, he has written 54 essays and books in English and Chinese and has contributed articles to four encyclopedias and other publications. His major publications include A History Reclaimed: An Annotated Bibliography of Chinese Language Materials on the Chinese of America (1986) and From Overseas Chinese to Chinese American: History of Development of Chinese American Society during the Twentieth Century (1992; in Chinese). He also edited Island: Poetry and History of Chinese Immigrants on Angel Island (1980). When he published his 13,000-word essay Chinese on the Continental U.S. in The Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups in 1980, he was already nationally and internationally known for his expertise. A 10,000-word essay in the Encyclopedia of Chinese Overseas was published in 1998 by Singapore's Chinese Heritage Centre in English as well as in traditional and simplified Chinese characters. Because Lai is noted for his scholarship on Chinese American history, many organizations request his services as a consultant. Furthermore, he has been elected president and board member of many organizations. He was a consultant to one of the first television productions on Chinese American history, Gam Saan Hak: A History of Chinese in America (San Francisco Channel 4, 1972-1974), as well as to the Angel Island Film Project, which resulted in the film Carved in Silence (Felicia Lowe, 1981-1987). He was the president of the Chinese Historical Society of America in 1971, 1976, and 1977 and of the Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco in 1982. From 1986 to the present, he has served on the editorial board of the journal Chinese America: History and Perspectives as well as on the editorial board of Amerasia Journal from 1979 to the present. He was also invited to teach Chinese American history courses at San Francisco State University (1969, 1972-75) and at the University of California at Berkeley (1978, 1979, 1984). Him Mark Lai served as a member of a library advisory committee to support the establishment of the former Asian American Studies Library at the University of California at Berkeley (1980-1982) and as consultant and curator for the Chinese American archives collection (1986-1988) in that library. Because of his outstanding work and tireless service to the Chinese community, Lai has received numerous service and lifetime achievement awards from various agencies, such as Chinese for Affirmative Action (mid-1970s), the Chinese Historical Society of America (1985, 1998), the Chinese Cultural Foundation of San Francisco (1987), and the Association for Asian American Studies (1990, 1993). He also received an award from the Guangdong Province Office of Overseas Chinese Affairs in the city of Guangzhou in China (2001) for his pioneering work with the "In Search of Roots" program. This innovative program is helping young people find their roots in their ancestral homeland. Scope and Content of Collection The Him Mark Lai Papers are divided into four series: Research Files, Professional Activities, Writings, and Personal Papers. Lai's extensive research spans over four decades, with the bulk of materials dating from 1970 to 1995.

Him Mark Lai is acknowledged as "the dean of Chinese American Studies." In order to acquire a broad repertory of information, Lai traveled to many university libraries, historical and research institutions in the United States and frequently visited ancestral villages in China. He tried to gather as much data as possible from his numerous trips, conducting research and oral interviews.

  • Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989
    Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989 Geremie Barmé1 There should be room for my extremism; I certainly don’t demand of others that they be like me... I’m pessimistic about mankind in general, but my pessimism does not allow for escape. Even though I might be faced with nothing but a series of tragedies, I will still struggle, still show my opposition. This is why I like Nietzsche and dislike Schopenhauer. Liu Xiaobo, November 19882 I FROM 1988 to early 1989, it was a common sentiment in Beijing that China was in crisis. Economic reform was faltering due to the lack of a coherent program of change or a unified approach to reforms among Chinese leaders and ambitious plans to free prices resulted in widespread panic over inflation; the question of political succession to Deng Xiaoping had taken alarming precedence once more as it became clear that Zhao Ziyang was under attack; nepotism was rife within the Party and corporate economy; egregious corruption and inflation added to dissatisfaction with educational policies and the feeling of hopelessness among intellectuals and university students who had profited little from the reforms; and the general state of cultural malaise and social ills combined to create a sense of impending doom. On top of this, the government seemed unwilling or incapable of attempting to find any new solutions to these problems. It enlisted once more the aid of propaganda, empty slogans, and rhetoric to stave off the mounting crisis. University students in Beijing appeared to be particularly heavy casualties of the general malaise.

  • New China and Its Qiaowu: the Political Economy of Overseas Chinese Policy in the People’S Republic of China, 1949–1959
    1 The London School of Economics and Political Science New China and its Qiaowu: The Political Economy of Overseas Chinese policy in the People’s Republic of China, 1949–1959 Jin Li Lim A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2016. 2 Declaration: I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,700 words. 3 Abstract: This thesis examines qiaowu [Overseas Chinese affairs] policies during the PRC’s first decade, and it argues that the CCP-controlled party-state’s approach to the governance of the huaqiao [Overseas Chinese] and their affairs was fundamentally a political economy. This was at base, a function of perceived huaqiao economic utility, especially for what their remittances offered to China’s foreign reserves, and hence the party-state’s qiaowu approach was a political practice to secure that economic utility.

  • Fei Mu's Aesthetics of Desolation in Spring In
    CHAPTER FOUR BETWEEN FORGETTING AND THE REPETITIONS OF MEMORY: FEI MU’S AESTHETICS OF DESOLATION IN SPRING IN A SMALL TOWN Heroism has strength but no beauty and thus seems to lack humanity. Tragedy, however, resembles the matching of bright red with deep green: an intense and unequivocal contrast. And yet it is more exciting than truly revelatory. The reason desolation resonates far more profoundly is that it resembles the conjunction of scallion green with peach red, creating an equivocal contrast. I like writing by way of equivocal contrast because it is relatively true to life.1 Like wartime cartoonists, poets, dramatists, and other artists who traveled inland to promote the cause of resistance, the Chinese film industry was also displaced to the Nationalist interior during the War of Resistance. The Nationalist government-owned Central Film Studio (Zhongyang diangy- ing sheyingchang 中央电影摄影场) and China Motion Pictures Studio (Zhongguo dianying zhipianchang 中国电影制片厂) were relocated to Chongqing, where the government encouraged the production of docu- mentary and feature films to promote the war effort. However, political instability, inflation, supply problems, and inadequate means of distribu- tion made it difficult to create high-quality films, and both Central Film and China Motion Pictures were forced to suspend filmmaking activities between 1941 and 1943.2 Although film studios in “Orphan Island” (gudao 孤岛) Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Manchuria operated throughout most of the war, working under the watchful eye of Japanese censors, filmmakers in the occupied regions were unable to produce films that explored in depth the experiences of ordinary people in wartime. 1 Eileen Chang, “Writing of One’s Own,” p.

  • Afghan-Americans and the Aftermath of the Twin Towers Tragedy Dr
    Journal of Diversity Management – Fourth Quarter 2009 Volume 4, Number 4 Managing Diversity: Afghan-Americans And The Aftermath Of The Twin Towers Tragedy Dr. Belal A. Kaifi, Franklin University, USA Wajma Aslami, Saint Mary‟s College, USA ABSTRACT Ethnic and religious diversity is part of each society in the modern world and being an Afghan is another dimension of these differences in the United States. The research question for this study was to see if Afghan-Americans are experiencing more discriminatory practices as a result of the 9/11 events. The results of 502 Afghan-Americans demonstrated that they do report more discrimination in the post-9/11 era. Specifically, Afghan men have experienced more discrimination in the workplace and Afghan women have experienced more discrimination in public. Implications and recommendations are offered for effective diversity management. Keywords: Afghan-Americans, Afghanistan, 9/11, discrimination, USA, leadership INTRODUCTION n the years after September 11, 2001, there have been many reported incidents of discrimination, hostility, and even extreme violence towards Muslims and people who look Muslim. “Nearly three out of four Muslims knew someone who had experienced religious prejudice since 9/11 or had suffered abuse Ithemselves. Many American Muslims have doubts about whether they are accepted as real Americans” (Barrett, 2006, p. 6). Findley (2001) reports, “In recent years, mosques were the target of arsonist in Yuba City, California, Springfield, Illinois, Greenville, South Carolina, and Minneapolis, and vandalism has occurred at mosques in Michigan, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Georgia” (p. 61). Muslims have dealt with arson, intimidation, and the media spreading inaccurate reports about Islam.

Engag- ing with the theme of ‘violence in the garden’ as articulated by such scholars as Zygmunt Bauman and Martin Jay, I reflect on Beijing as a ‘garden of violence’, both before the rise of the socialist state in 1949, and during the years leading up to the 2008 Olympics. KEYWORDS: gardens, violence, party culture, Chinese history, Chinese politics, cultivation, revolution The gardening impulse This paper offers a brief examination of the history of Beijing in relation to gardens— imperial, princely, socialist, public and private—and the impetus of the ‘gardener’, in particular during the twentieth century.
