They were vibrant and diverse gateways that provided shelter, jobs and support to the community. Honoring Senior Citizens 11 (Chinese version) The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) studied Chinatowns in the cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia. They spent a year recording block by block by lot the existing land uses in Boston, New York and Philadelphia's’ Chinatown and sur- rounding immigrant areas, looking at the residential, restaurants and businesses. What they discovered is that the shrinking of the areas’ Chinatown are multi-faceted. Rising land prices has contributed to the gentrification and expan- sion of luxury buildings and upscale businesses encroaching into the Chinatowns. An example is when the New York City Council, despite protests from the Chinese community and businesses, approved the city’s third largest rezoning plan in 2008. Independent analysis by urban planners concluded that it would push luxury development into Chinatown and disproportionately impact the low income and immigrant communities.

    www.DanceWith.co.uk Dance with History A fun view of inclusive dance through time. Prehistory "Go back ten thousand years and you will find humans toiling away at the many mundane activities required for survival: hunting, food gathering, making weapons and garments, beginning to experiment with agriculture. But if you land on the right moonlit night or seasonal turning point, you might also find them engaged in what seems, by comparison, to be a gratuitous waste of energy: dancing in lines or circles...well before people had a written language, and possibly before they took up a settled lifestyle, they danced and understood dancing as an activity important enough to record in stone." Source Ehrenreich Antiquity "Socrates recommended dance to his students ... and danced among his friends after dinner" (470-399 BC) "Plato saw dance as a desirable method "for the acquisition of noble, harmonious and graceful attitudes"" (427-347 BC) Source Franks "Dance is as old as love" Lucian of Samosata (120-180 AD) Source Ellis 1285 Make Merry From accounts of the Tournaments at Chauvenci, attended by English Knights: "Apres mangier, en piez leverent.

  • The Movement of Dancing Cultures Hélène Neveu Kringelbach and Jonathan Skinner Q
    Introduction The Movement of Dancing Cultures Hélène Neveu Kringelbach and Jonathan Skinner q Nigerian nationality was for me and my generation an acquired taste – like cheese. Or better still, like ballroom dancing. Not dancing per se, for that came naturally; but this titillating version of slow-slow-quick-quick-slow performed in close body contact with a female against a strange, elusive beat. I found, however, that once I had overcome my initial awkwardness I could do it pretty well. —Chinua Achebe hus opens the Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe’s new collection portraying This life growing up in colonial Nigeria as a ‘British-protected child’. Achebe acknowledges that he inhabits – and embodies – the ‘middle ground’ between colonialism and postcolonialism. Whilst he has fond nostalgia for his imperious school teachers, he craves for an independent, strong and free Nigeria, but also laments the failings and difficulties of a country in disarray. The above analogy sums up Achebe’s postcolonial ambivalence. ‘His’ dancing comes naturally, driven by a drum beat, but he is also attracted to the colonial quickstep, a European import, acquired, refined and ‘cultured’. Argentinean dance scholar Marta Savigliano writes about her identity and the tango dance with similar ambivalence: it is the ‘locus of [her] identification … ever since [she] moved outside of her culture’ (Savigliano 1995: 12). She recognizes that it is a stereotype of her culture but that she still needs it as her cultural prop. Yet as a woman in a male-dominated postcolonial South American world, it is a dance where she can find some space to ‘decolonize’ herself doubly: Tango is the main ingredient in my project of decolonization because I have no choice.
