I am especially grateful to Dr. Philip Nyden for his interest in my research and his suggestion to focus on the Argyle community; to Dr. Kirsten Gr0nbjerg for her encouragement and ideas to carry on this research; to Dr. Kathleen Mccourt for those discussions which helped formulate this dissertation; and to Dr. Gerald Suttles for his expertise, suggestions, and patience. I am greatly in debt to my interviewees in the Argyle community who provided the inspiration for this dissertation. Without their help, this research would not have been possible. Several community organizations and institutions involved in this research. The Asian Small Business Association, South-East Asia Center, Vietnamese Association of Illinois, Cambodian Association of Illinois, Lao Community Services Center of Illinois, Chinese Mutual Aid Association, Traveler and Immigrants Aid, Interchurch Refugee and Immigration Ministries, Teo Chew Mutual Assistance Association, Lakefront SRO, Winthrop Tower, St. Thomas Canterbury Church, Lutheran Chinese Church, and several Buddhist temples provided valuable assistance and insight and I extend my thanks to them all. I would like to thank Graduate School at Loyola University Chicago for University Dissertation Fellowship during 1992-1993; United Way of Chicago and Loyola University Chicago for Community Research Fellowship in Community Development during 1994-1995. I am indebted to many others who have helped me along the way: Dr. Judith Wittner and Dr. Helena Lopata gave me fieldwork opportunities through their graduate classes in which I became familiar with the Argyle community; Dr. Richard Block provided statistical data on crimes; Mr. Granston shared his knowledge of Asian iii Americans; Ms. Collette Speakman from Metro Chicago Information Center provided the Argyle community map; Ms. Laurie Garvin helped with the final editing; and my friends and my fellow graduate students boosted my morale with their good cheer and faith. Finally, I can never thank my family enough. Without them I may not have come so far. I thank my parents for teaching me to appreciate higher learning, and my younger brother for taking on all the family obligations that I was unable to. I hope my father who passed away in 1986 can finally rest in peace in the distant heaven. I would like to thank my husband for his commitment and support and my daughter Annie for her understanding, enthusiasm, and cooperation at a young age. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii List of Maps vii List of Tables viii List of Figures ix INTRODUCTION 1 Chapter I.

Percent of Persons on Public Aid*, 1996 140 ix INTRODUCTION My interest in car.ducting this research on the Argyle community, or "New Chinatown," started when I was still involved in my dissertation coursework. Several of my courses focused on different dimensions of the community. During this time, I contacted many people from community organizations, churches, businesses, as well as tourists, shoppers, police patrol officers, and residents in the community. I found in my conversations that although the community was known variously as "New Chinatown", "North Chinatown", "Vietnamese Refugee Camp", or "Asian Village," few people outside the community knew how this community had developed or how it came to have these different names. The Argyle community has recently been proclaimed as a miracle of "economic success" in a low-income and high crime area. However, there is little known about what the refugees and immigrants have gone through to achieve this "success", and what this "success" means to them, nor is there any documentation on their self-help system, how this system has supported them emotionally and financially, and how it has structured their relationship in the community. People often portray the Argyle community, as well as larger Uptown community area of which it is a part, as a typical example of diversity and gentrification without replacing the low-income residents. However, little is known about how the people negotiate their space, relationships, and power during development. How people identify themselves in such a diversified space and cultural atmosphere, other questions, such as how such a community is defined; and whether it is possible to identify some general conditions of "healthy" community in spite of the wide range of cultural and economic differences existing in the community area, are going to be discussed in this dissertation. 2 In sociology, race and ethnic relations have been studied from two major perspectives. From the cultural perspective, sociologists attempt to understand the possibility of acculturation and assimilation of new immigrants into the mainstream culture. The cultural explanation of race and ethnic relations ranges from Anglo-conformity, melting pot, pluralism, and symbolic ethnicity. While discussing assimilation, sociologists from the cultural perspective singled out one particular group -- the self­ employed minorities and developed a theory called "middle man minority." This theory suggests that ethnic self-employed business owners have the mentality of a "sojourner" which motivates them to live a thrifty and isolated life. Their

  • LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014
    THE LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014 Mayor Rahm Emanuel City Hall - 121 N LaSalle St. Chicago, IL 60602 Dear Mayor Emanuel, As co-chairs of the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum Site Selection Task Force, we are delighted to provide you with our report and recommendation for a site for the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum. The response from Chicagoans to this opportunity has been tremendous. After considering more than 50 sites, discussing comments from our public forum and website, reviewing input from more than 300 students, and examining data from myriad sources, we are thrilled to recommend a site we believe not only meets the criteria you set out but also goes beyond to position the Museum as a new jewel in Chicago’s crown of iconic sites. Our recommendation offers to transform existing parking lots into a place where students, families, residents, and visitors from around our region and across the globe can learn together, enjoy nature, and be inspired. Speaking for all Task Force members, we were both honored to be asked to serve on this Task Force and a bit awed by your charge to us. The vision set forth by George Lucas is bold, and the stakes for Chicago are equally high. Chicago has a unique combination of attributes that sets it apart from other cities—a history of cultural vitality and groundbreaking arts, a tradition of achieving goals that once seemed impossible, a legacy of coming together around grand opportunities, and not least of all, a setting unrivaled in its natural and man-made beauty.

    SCMS 2017 CONFERENCE PROGRAM FAIRMONT CHICAGO MILLENNIUM PARK March 22–26, 2017 Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago! Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference. This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile. You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away. Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy. I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation. With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.
