It was our great pleasure tor, be iiwited by tile tutional American Revolution Bicentennial Administration in 1971 to help observe the :tooth birthday of our country. ft crystallized our desire to help spread interest about the Chinese in Amerit4 to the entire cOntinent. It gave us the needed impetus tostart planning this Conference and the Society 'proceeded to Un- plement. a plan into reality which today reaches fruition. We are looking forward to joining hands with vont to nuke this a most successful affair. We hope the e9nference can be the catalyst to) bring about _greater cooperation and Coordination in this field of history which has lain dormant for so long. Doubling our pleasure is the occasion of the Mvin San Francisco Bicenten- nial, which coincides with the ARBA year.1976.

Their destination washSaO Francisco. Thday we participate in mbscrving the San Francisco Bicentennial as well. It is therefore a double pleasure for the Society to accept the recognition and the endorsement of both the city and national administrations. kiltREASON FOR.IIIIS CONFERENCE During- the past two decades, there has been a significant growth in the awareness of the role in, and contribution to, the American 1,vav of life by the Chinese in America. It is ironic that such conclusiobs should be reached only within the past several decades. Researchers and historians began to discover not long ago that the history of the Chinese in America is buried 'under a "shield".of anti-Chinese hostility which persisted even through World War II. This "shield" can be illustrated by the dearth of literature available on the Chinese. A search of the literature of the history of California and the Ameri- can West from the' i 800 until the present time will reveal that the word "Chinese" is rarely to be found in such indices. Additionally, Chinese lan- guage documents relating to such history have been largely overlooked. It is rare indeed to find an American historian of Caucasian ancestry conversant in the Chinese Janguage or -able to reSearch Chinese-printed sourceS. Chinese-Americans intrigued by tl.:,eir ,own history in the United States were, unarecently, few in number.1his isoattributed to the fact hat Chinese (like their Caucasian counterparts in the U. S. public- schools) are being taught that the Chinese only built railroads, panned for gold,. or operated restaurants and laundries. Few had reason to suspect a more significant historical past. 1lcn.iiid`.111C('I he hic 1,)61)%; for Lilinie history (oiiI',cIII colleges .ind univer.ines has t_lirned the attention of many new researchers to the subject of the ( :Iiinese in .Aincrica.

  • 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.

  • 'Christian' Martial Arts
    MY LIFE IN “THE WAY” by Gaylene Goodroad 1 My Life in “The Way” RENOUNCING “THE WAY” OF THE EAST “At the time of my conversion, I had also dedicated over 13 years of my life to the martial arts. Through the literal sweat of my brow, I had achieved not one, but two coveted black belts, promoting that year to second degree—Sensei Nidan. I had studied under some internationally recognized karate masters, and had accumulated a room full of trophies while Steve was stationed on the island of Oahu. “I had unwittingly become a teacher of Far Eastern mysticism, which is the source of all karate—despite the American claim to the contrary. I studied well and had been a follower of karate-do: “the way of the empty hand”. I had also taught others the way of karate, including a group of marines stationed at Pearl Harbor. I had led them and others along the same stray path of “spiritual enlightenment,” a destiny devoid of Christ.” ~ Paper Hearts, Author’s Testimony, pg. 13 AUTHOR’S NOTE: In 1992, I renounced both of my black belts, after discovering the sobering truth about my chosen vocation in light of my Christian faith. For the years since, I have grieved over the fact that I was a teacher of “the Way” to many dear souls—including children. Although I can never undo that grievous error, my prayer is that some may heed what I have written here. What you are about to read is a sobering examination of the martial arts— based on years of hands-on experience and training in karate-do—and an earnest study of the Scriptures.

  • 7. Conclusion: Telefilm, Cross-Media Migration, and the Demise of the Film Serial
    7. Conclusion : Telefilm, Cross-Media Migration, and the Demise of the Film Serial Abstract The conclusion offers an outlook past the 1940s. It places film serials in the context of the shifting cinema landscape in the 1940s and 1950s and the rise of television. The chapter compares the viewer address of film serials to television’s programming in terms of a ‘segmented flow’ and argues that film serials imagined and practiced a televisual mediality before the advent of TV. Serials and television thus became convergent media, which counters the prevalent notion that television killed film serials. The chapter further stresses the adaptability of the film-serial form to varying exhibition and distribution contexts, which helps to explain their continuous reappearance in the multiple ‘new media’ in the second half of the twentieth century and in the digital culture of the twenty-first century. Keywords: television programming, televisual flow, post-WWII film history, independent film production The present moment is an arbitrary one to end a study of film serials. Al- though the heyday of their production is well in the past, serials that were thought to be lost continue to reappear in archives or in private collections. Online fan groups like the serialsquadron.com offer increasing numbers of serials on DVD. Other enthusiasts make them available on youtube or upload them to archive.org, and scholars like Richard Koszarski are making an effort to locate ‘new’ film serials. In the final months of writing, for instance, Pathe’s The House of Hate (1918) was located in Russia, digitalized, and translated back into English.

  • ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media
    ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation Yueqin Yang, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon, Jr., Ph.D. This thesis commits to highlighting major stereotypes concerning Asians and Asian Americans found in the U.S. media, the “Yellow Peril,” the perpetual foreigner, the model minority, and problematic representations of gender and sexuality. In the U.S. media, Asians and Asian Americans are greatly underrepresented. Acting roles that are granted to them in television series, films, and shows usually consist of stereotyped characters. It is unacceptable to socialize such stereotypes, for the media play a significant role of education and social networking which help people understand themselves and their relation with others. Within the limited pages of the thesis, I devote to exploring such labels as the “Yellow Peril,” perpetual foreigner, the model minority, the emasculated Asian male and the hyper-sexualized Asian female in the U.S. media. In doing so I hope to promote awareness of such typecasts by white dominant culture and society to ethnic minorities in the U.S. Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation by Yueqin Yang, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of American Studies ___________________________________ Douglas R.

  • For R. Hammer & D. Kellner, Eds., in Press/2008, Critical Cultural Studies
    For R. Hammer & D. Kellner, Eds., in press/2008, Critical Cultural Studies Reader. New York: Peter Lang. ANOTHER ETHNIC AUTOBIOGRAPHY? CHILDHOOD AND THE CULTURAL ECONOMY OF LOOKING Allan Luke Queensland University of Technology Australia Dramatis personae This piece was originally written for the International Conference on Knowledge and Discourse, and presented at the Run Run Shaw Theatre, Hong Kong, in 1996. A companion article on Asian masculinities was published in conference papers (Luke, 2002). My original talk included videoclips of my Uncle, Keye Luke, in Star Trek, “Whom Gods Destroy” (Series 3, episode 13, 1969) and with clips of my Father, Edwin Luke, in Blood Alley (Dir. William Wellman, Batjak Productions, 1956). The work sat unpublished until my mother, Ahlin Wong Luke, passed in 2007. My Father and Uncle’s representations continue to circulate in the transnational semiotic ether – as downloads, as DVDs, and in Wikipedia. I am rereading my Father’s film scripts, reconnoitring his experiences and, indeed, mine. As you read, you will notice that my discussion of ethnic narratives has been overtaken by subsequent work in film, cultural and Asian-American studies. I have retained the original 1990s citations in this work, updating them only where relevant. The premise of the article stands: that in contemporary capitalist societies like those of North America and Europe, essentialist bids to reclaim originary ethnic voice and identity are invariably forged in the contexts of multimediated childhood. Identity and practice are shaped by media representations of ‘cultures’, even where they are reproduced across generations by face-to-face and everyday exchanges between parents, community elders and youth.

The first volume, Entry Denied,1 published in 1991, contains eight essays, four of which analyze how the exclu- sion laws and the changing ways in which they were enforced affected Chinese communities in the United States. The other four essays docu- ment how members of those communities dealt with the constraints on their lives by relying on a complex institutional structure that enabled them to combat the laws while connecting them to larger developments in both China and the United States. In contrast to the focus on institu- tions in the first volume, the seven chapters in Claiming America,2 the sec- ond volume published in 1998, explore the multidimensional conscious- ness of individuals. They examine how some first- and second-generation Chinese Americans claimed America as their own by forcefully asserting that they, too, believed in democracy and equality. They declared that Chinese were not simply earning a living in the United States as “sojourn- ers,” but were also self-consciously embracing the American creed despite the fact that their presence was not welcomed on American soil. In the present volume, Chinese American Transnationalism, the eight contribu- tors dissect the many ways in which Chinese living in the United States maintained ties to China through a constant transpacific flow of people, economic resources, and political and cultural ideas, the exclusion laws notwithstanding.
