  • Re-Imagining United States History Through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/O Literature
    LATINASIAN NATION: RE-IMAGINING UNITED STATES HISTORY THROUGH CONTEMPORARY ASIAN AMERICAN AND LATINA/O LITERATURE Susan Bramley Thananopavarn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: María DeGuzmán Jennifer Ho Minrose Gwin Laura Halperin Ruth Salvaggio © 2015 Susan Bramley Thananopavarn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Susan Thananopavarn: LatinAsian Nation: Re-imagining United States History through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/o Literature (Under the direction of Jennifer Ho and María DeGuzmán) Asian American and Latina/o populations in the United States are often considered marginal to discourses of United States history and nationhood. From laws like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act to the extensive, racially targeted immigration rhetoric of the twenty-first century, dominant discourses in the United States have legally and rhetorically defined Asian and Latina/o Americans as alien to the imagined nation. However, these groups have histories within the United States that stretch back more than four hundred years and complicate foundational narratives like the immigrant “melting pot,” the black/white binary, and American exceptionalism. This project examines how Asian American and Latina/o literary narratives can rewrite official histories and situate American history within a global context. The literary texts that I examine – including works by Carlos Bulosan, Américo Paredes, Luis Valdez, Mitsuye Yamada, Susan Choi, Achy Obejas, Karen Tei Yamashita, Cristina García, and Siu Kam Wen – create a “LatinAsian” view of the Americas that highlights and challenges suppressed aspects of United States history.

CONCLUSION ……………………………………………………………...……….74 BIBLIOGRAPHY ……………………………………………………………………… 85 iii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION “Black is Beautiful” became a popular slogan of the 1960s to represent rejection of white values of style and appearance. However, in the earlier decades of the twentieth century black women were daily deflecting slings and arrows thrown at them from all sides. Arising out of this milieu of adversity were Josephine Baker, Katherine Dunham, and Pearl Primus, performing artists whose success depended upon a willingness to innovate, to adapt to changing times, and to recognize and seize opportunities when and where they arose. Baker introduced her performing skills to New York audiences in the 1920s, followed by Dunham in the 1930s, and Primus in the 1940s. Although these decades resulted in an outpouring of cultural and artistic experimentation, for performing artists daring to cross traditional boundaries of gender and race, the obstacles were significant.

  • The Beginning of the Harvest Moon Ball and the Myth of the Harlem Riot in 1935 As the Reason for It
    1 The Beginning of the Harvest Moon Ball and the Myth of the Harlem Riot in 1935 as the Reason for It Harri Heinilä, Doctor of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki February 12, 2018 On March 19, 1935, thousands of Harlemites protested intolerable social and economic conditions by rioting for one day. They attacked mainly white-owned stores and broke hundreds of windows. The riot resulted in 1-2 dead and 64-100 injured1. Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia launched an investigation into reasons for the riot by appointing the research commission which found discrimination and poverty as the base for Harlem’s problems. The possibility of a new uprising because of the intolerable conditions convinced Mayor LaGuardia to better Harlem’s government services and infrastructure2. One of the improvements is claimed to be the Harvest Moon Ball dance contest which, depending on the version, supposedly either Mayor LaGuardia and the New York Daily News designed together for calming down frustrated Harlemites3, or the Daily News and the Savoy Ballroom authorities agreed on because of the social unrest after the riot4. The Daily News-sponsored Harvest Moon Ball was the New York metropolitan area-wide dance contest between 1935 and 1974, which included dances like the Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz, Tango, Rumba, and the Lindy Hop. All profits from the contest were donated to underprivileged children in the New York City. Its finals were organized yearly in the Madison Square Garden, except for preliminaries to the finals, which were held in various ballrooms like the Savoy Ballroom around the New York Metropolitan area.

  • WW2 Swing Dance (Physical Education)
    WW2 Swing Dance (Physical Education) How Did Types of Dances Evolve and Affect People on the Home and War Front During World War Two? When World War II came along, many different dances were formed. These dances also were affecting people that were depressed on the war and home front. They danced to bring positivity and happiness through the difficult times during the war. Jive, Jitterbug and Swing The Jive, Jitterbug and the swing are all different types of dances that came about during the time of World War II. Jitter is short from Jitterbug and all of these types of dances are fast and upbeat. "The Swing Era had begun in the 1930s, when Americans were trying to forget the Great Depression. Dancing to upbeat music seemed to help." The jive, jitter and swing were fast upbeat music that people danced to, to try and forget their depression. These dances were danced on the war front, home front and basically anywhere that Americans wanted to feel relief. "The evolution of music brought about new sounds such as jazz and swing music. These sounds translated to new dances. Jitterbug dancing grew in popularity." The new music coming along was fast and upbeat which caused people to dance fast and have fun times. As shown this is a new evolution of music which proves how the jitterbug, jive, swing and many other dances were brought up during the time of World War II. “Swing became more popular as the decade went on, and after the repeal of prohibition, crowds began to outgrow the speakeasies where the dancing had started" The people would get together to drink and dance and listen to music which helped them forget about their problems.

He was strongly associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, New York City, where he was a regular performer.

  • Swing Dancing
    Swing Dancing Richard Powers Street Swing Also known as Bugg and 4-count Hustle I am beginning with 4-count street swing because it's the easiest approach to swing dancing. The reason I start with street swing is that the timing is easy enough to let you concentrate on what's really important in swing: the swing moves, partnering, flexibility and creativity. Once you are comfortable with dancing street swing, it's an easy next step to the more widely-known six- count swing, which is the same four steps done in a slow-slow-quick-quick timing. Then triple six-count swing completes the family. Street swing is an American vernacular dance, meaning grass roots, from the people, instead of from professional dance masters. It's occasionally seen across the U.S. and Europe, although not as frequently as six-count swing. Today, Bugg is especially popular in Sweden. The Footwork for Street Swing Take two walking steps, either forward and back, or done in place, or traveling. Then finish with a "rock step" which is another two steps, first back, then forward, in place. The timing for street swing is an even 1-2-3-4. Walk-walk-rock-step. If you’re doing the steps in place, the Lead’s steps are: 1) Take a small step with the left foot to the left side. 2) Replace weight back on the right foot. 3) Take a small rock step straight back left. 4) Replace weight forward onto the right foot. The Follow dances the mirror image to this, beginning with her right foot.

  • The History of Boogie Woogie and Rock'n'roll We Can Assume, That
    The history of Boogie Woogie and Rock’n’Roll We can assume, that the history of Boogie Woogie began with the development of new dance- and music styles. At the 1893 world exhibition in Chicaco came up dances within the Ragtime style and around 1900 the so called Chicken-wheel-dance. The breakaway, an other important fore runner of the Boogie Woogie, is a dance style done to Charleston and Swing music where the couples separated to do solo steps. The big breakthrough of the Swing music came 1934, when a white bandleader, Benny Goodman, held his famous concert at the Carnegie Hall and swept the audience off their feet. The next day, New York was in Swing fever. The rest of the work for the final music and dance euphoria was done by Hollywood of course. The name Boogie Woogie signifies piano music with strong rolling bass runs which is said to have its origins around the mid twenties in a lumberjack-camp. The dance steps that were done to that music were called Boogie Woogie. On the famous recording “Pinetop’s Smith Boogie Woogie” from 1928 you can hear him giving instructions for some steps. One of the “Boogie Woogie“ steps is a figure where alternately the right and left leg together with the hips are moved to the outside in light circulating movements. The great success of the Boogie Woogie music came overnight; once more through a concert in Carnegie Hall in New York. Mead Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson dragged New York and the rest of the USA along into a Boogie Woogie fever.
