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. The change in demographics is also contributing to the shrinking of the Chinatowns. The 2010 U.S. census showed that populations of Asian heritage in Boston Chinatown dropped from 70% to 46% in 2010, and although the overall China- town population did not change in New York and Philadelphia , there was a shift of homes with multigenerational fami- (Continued on page 10) San Francisco Lodge Survey “One Paper, Many Voices” Board of Officers President’s Message 2013 President From Robert K.

  • CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere
    Abstract The people of Hong Kong experienced their deepest sense of insecurity and anxiety after the handover of sovereignty to Beijing. Time and again, the incapacity and lack of credibility of the SAR government has been manifested in various new policies or incidents. Hong Kong people’s anger and discontent with the government have reached to the peak. On July 1, 2003, the sixth anniversary of the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, 500,000 demonstrators poured through the streets of Hong Kong to voice their concerns over the proposed legislation of Article 23 and their dissatisfaction to the SAR government. And the studies of politics and social movement are still dominated by accounts of open confrontations in the form of large scale and organized rebellions and protests. If we shift our focus on the terrain of everyday life, we can find that the youth voice out their discontents by different ways, such as various kinds of media. This research aims to fill the gap and explore the relationship between popular culture and politics of the youth in Hong Kong after 1997 by using one of the local bands KingLyChee as a case study. Politically, it aims at discovering the hidden voices of the youth and argues that the youth are not seen as passive victims of structural factors such as education system, market and family. Rather they are active and strategic actors who are capable of negotiating with and responding to the social change of Hong Kong society via employing popular culture like music by which the youth obtain their pleasure of producing their own meanings of social experience and the pleasure of avoiding the social discipline of the power-bloc.

  • Dance with History a Fun View of Inclusive Dance Through Time
    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.
