  • The Unknown History of New York City's Chinatown: a Story of Crime During the Years of American Prohibition Kathryn Christense
    The Unknown History of New York City’s Chinatown: A Story of Crime During the Years of American Prohibition Kathryn Christensen: Undergraduate of History and Asian Studies at SUNY New Paltz Popular interpretations of immigrants in New York City during the era of Prohibition have looked at it through the lens of European immigrants. Groups such as the Italian Mafia, and Irish gangs in New York City are a well-rehearsed story within the history of Prohibition. However, Europeans were not the only immigrants that began to flood into the ports of New York City during the early 20th century. Within New York City’s Chinatown there was the emergence of a vast network of organized criminal activity, along with various raids revealing rice wine moonshine and other violations of the 18th amendment, just like their European counterparts. Though largely overlooked in the historiography, this paper argues that Chinatown,and the Chinese in New York City played an integral role in the Prohibition era United States. In order to understand the Chinese population that lived in the United States during the early 1900s, it is important to lay the framework for why they first came to the United States. Like many other immigrant groups that immigrated during this time, many Chinese came over to escape a difficult political and economic climate. In China, the Opium war left the Chinese defeated by the British Empire leaving its reputation as the protectorate and superpower of the East shattered. This was accompanied by famines and floods across the nation resulting in economic catastrophe which further resulted in civil war and several uprisings, most notably the Taiping Rebellion.1 The unstable environment in China caused several Chinese to flee the country.

  • Chapter Eleven an Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881
    Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 1 Chapter Eleven An Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881 Tombstone, Arizona Territory, 1800s (Courtesy Tombstone Courthouse) Nellie stepped off the stage onto Allen Street’s dusty board sidewalk. She turned to catch her carpetbag when the stage driver lifted it down, but stumbled over the hem of her skirt into the path of a dark-haired man with a full mustache. The stranger grabbed Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 2 her waist. “Whoa. Welcome to Tombstone! Got your balance there, Ma’am?” Nellie pulled her traveling skirt out from under her button-down shoe and noticed the man wore a silver star on his blue shirt. He took her grip from the driver and set it on the sidewalk. “My name’s Virgil Earp.” Next to him two other men attempted not to laugh. Virgil smiled, and indicated the other two with his hand. “May I present my brother, Wyatt, and Doc Holliday?” Earp, not a common name. These must be the Earps who had served as lawmen in Dodge City. She’d read newspaper articles and one of T.J.’s dime novels about Wyatt Earp. Doc Holliday stopped stamping his black boots to remove the dust, bowed at the waist and swept his bowler hat from his head. He smelled of leather and, what was that? Sage? “Indeed, welcome to Tombstone, lovely lady.” He drawled in a bass voice from under another wide black mustache. That made Nellie think of how Papa had always joked that men with mustaches were trying to hide something -- their upper lips.

  • The Los Angeles Chinese Confucius Temple School: Heritage, Transformation, and Renovation
    International Journal for Innovation Education and Research www.ijier.net Vol.3-2, 2015 The Los Angeles Chinese Confucius Temple School: Heritage, Transformation, and Renovation Yu-Ju Hung, Ph.D. Assistant Professor History Department, Chinese Culture University, Taiwan (R.O.C.) [email protected] Abstract The creation of mother-tongue language schools was the prevalent phenomenon in the American immigration communities in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Some European, such as German, immigrants capitalized their ethnic network to develop their ethnic language instructions within the systems of public school or religious parochial school, while certain Asian (Chinese or Japanese) immigrants created private language schools to maintain their heritage and culture for younger generations. Through the case study of history of the Chinese Confucius Temple School in Los Angeles Chinatown, along with the examination of theoretical frame of contemporary non-English mother-tongue schools in the United States, this study demonstrate the transformation of Chinese language school in the aftermath of 1950s. It shows that the development of language school not only dwells on the issues of Mandarin-learning and culture maintenance, but also accompanies with the transition of Chinese community from inner-city enclave to suburbs. Keywords: Language school, Los Angeles Chinatown, Chinese Confucius Temple School, Chinese tradition, cultural heritage Introduction: The development of Chinese language schools dates back to the late 1880s when the first one, Chinese Minister Zhang Yinguan, was established in San Francisco.1 In the following years to serve the needs of early immigrants, classes in Cantonese language were provided for the residents of Chinatown in a number of large cities in the United States.

  • [Negotiating Global Chinatowns: Difference, Diversity and Connection]
    DOI: 10.1400/218587 Cindy Hing-Yuk Wong, Gary W. McDonogh [Negotiating Global Chinatowns: Difference, Diversity and Connection] Abstract: Over the past two centuries, diverse and changing Chinatowns have become global enclaves where separation from a surrounding city and society intersects with both the construction of “Chinese” communities and the processes that integrate Chinese into wider contexts while challenging or changing these contexts. Based on a decade of fieldwork in Chinatowns in the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa, the investigators highlight the tensions of segregation and communit(ies) through the lenses of physical form and boundaries, social centers, and imagery. Drawing on Henri Lefebvres’s tripartite vision of the social construction of urban spaces (les espaces perçus, conçus and vécus), this article shows that Chinatowns, as distinctive spaces within a city, encapsulate intense debates about place, citizenship, rights and diversity that speak more generally to cities, nations and global urbanism. Keywords: Chinatown, Urban form, Representation, Transnationalism, Boundaries. On September 14, 2013 we joined family and friends in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s downtown Chinatown to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. For many modern Mainland Chinese, this harvest moon festival has become a largely private celebration, with rich, dense mooncakes shared in family gatherings. While the People’s Republic of China recognized this millennial celebration as part of China’s intangible heritage in the 21st century, it only became a national public festival in 2008. For Wong, having grown up in densely-populated 20th century Hong Kong, the public and family holiday spilled over into public parks, entailing children’s parades and elaborate, musical lanterns as well as competing brands of moon cakes.

  • What Strategies Do Chinese Immigrant Parents Use to Send Their Children to High-Performing Public School Districts?
    What Strategies Do Chinese Immigrant Parents Use to Send Their Children to High-Performing Public School Districts? Senfeng Liang Abstract This qualitative study examines how Chinese immigrant parents perceive the importance of sending their children to a “good” school district and ana- lyzes their strategies in doing so. Nine families from different economic and educational backgrounds participated in the study. Results show that some parents were not satisfied with children’s previous schools and decided to move to higher performing school districts. Parents had different levels of econom- ic preparation and thus used different strategies to achieve their goal. Higher income families chose to purchase homes in “good” school districts. In order to live in a “good” school district, lower income families’ strategies included: purchasing a house and renting out a bedroom to reduce the economic bur- den, renting an affordable apartment, and living with relatives or friends. This study contributes to a better understanding of factors contributing to Chinese American students’ educational experiences. Key Words: Chinese immigrant parents, district quality, public school choice, housing, family perceptions, home selection strategies, neighborhood, income Introduction Studies suggest that family income matters for students’ education, but it is not always clear in what ways family income matters (Davis-Kean, 2005; School Community Journal, 2015, Vol. 25, No. 2 135 Available at http://www.schoolcommunitynetwork.org/SCJ.aspx SCHOOL COMMUNITY JOURNAL Duncan & Magnuson, 2005). One way family income influences students’ education is the family’s practices of selecting a neighborhood (and related school district) in which to live. As most U.S. students attend their zoned public school, neighborhood and the quality of schools can deeply influence students’ education (Catsambis & Beveridge, 2012).

  • 2014 Annual Report
    YAVAPI COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ANNUAL REPORT Sheriff Scott Mascher FULL SERVICE FOR 150 YEARS SINCE 1864 WORD FROM THE SHERIFF The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office mission is to enhance the quality of life by working cooperatively with the public to prevent crime, enforce the law, preserve the peace, and provide a safe environment through professional education programs aimed at promoting community involvement in various community services and crime prevention education. Currently the Sheriff’s Office has over 400 authorized positions. Of that number, 139 are certified officers assigned throughout the county and 210 are assigned to the Camp Verde Jail. The other positions are various support positions assigned throughout the county. The Sheriff’s Office also has over 1,000 volunteers at our disposal to assist use in our mission at any time. The Agency has three very distinct divisions that manage the specialty services offered by the Sheriff’s Office. The Detention Services Division manages both detention facilities, Camp Verde and Prescott. The Law Enforcement Services Division manages the field operations of certified officers throughout the county. The Support Services Division manages the entire agency’s records, both jail and law enforcement, along with countywide communications/dispatch services and the recruitment and training of personnel for the entire agency. The Sheriff’s Office has not published an Annual Report since 2003 and I believe it is a notable resource for the public so I decided to create one. I wanted to take a moment, thank everyone for their support of the Sheriff’s Office, and share some of the accomplishments this agency has achieved.
