Book Building Little Saigon

    Book Details:
  • Author : Erica Allen-Kim
  • Publisher : University of Texas Press
  • Release : 2024-07-02
  • ISBN : 1477329714
  • Pages : 225 pages

Download or read book Building Little Saigon written by Erica Allen-Kim and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the diverging paths of Vietnamese American communities, or “Little Saigons,” in America’s built environment. In the final days before the fall of Saigon in 1975, 125,000 Vietnamese who were evacuated or who made their own way out of the country resettled in the United States. Finding themselves in unfamiliar places yet still connected in exile, these refugees began building their own communities as memorials to a lost homeland. Known both officially and unofficially as Little Saigons, these built landscapes offer space for everyday activities as well as the staging of cultural heritage and political events. Building Little Saigon examines nearly fifty years of city building by Vietnamese Americans—who number over 2.2 million today. Author Erica Allen-Kim highlights architecture and planning ideas adapted by the Vietnamese communities who, in turn, have influenced planning policies and mainstream practices. Allen-Kim traveled to ten Little Saigons in the United States to visit archives, buildings, and public art and to converse with developers, community planners, artists, business owners, and Vietnam veterans. By examining everyday buildings—who made them and what they mean for those who know them—Building Little Saigon shows us the complexities of migration unfolding across lifetimes and generations.

Book Movie Roadshows

    Book Details:
  • Author : Kim R. Holston
  • Publisher : McFarland
  • Release : 2013-01-01
  • ISBN : 0786460628
  • Pages : 383 pages

Download or read book Movie Roadshows written by Kim R. Holston and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines a film distribution system paralleling the rise of early features and persisting until 1972, when Man of La Mancha was the final roadshow to require reserved seating. Synonymous with Hollywood's star-studded premieres, roadshows were longer and cost more than regular features, making the experience similar to attending the legitimate theater. Roadshows, often epic in subject matter, played selected (usually only one) theaters in major urban centers until demand decreased. De rigueur by the 1960s were musical overtures, intermissions, entre'acte and exit music and souvenir programs for sale in the lobby. Throughout the text are recollections by people who attended roadshows, including actor John Kerr and actresses Barbara Eden and Ingrid Pitt. The focus is on roadshows released in the United States but an appendix identifies international roadshows and films forecast but not released as roadshows. Included are plots, contemporary critical reaction, premiere dates, production background, and methods of promotion--i.e., the ballyhoo.

  • ISBN : 1728341841
  • Pages : 227 pages

Download or read book The Blame Game written by Linda Rocker and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her only son dies of an overdose, a distraught mother embarks on an obsessive crusade to destroy the pain doctor who gave him the pills that killed him. The Palm Beach Courthouse, and an ambitious prosecutor, become her personal tools for revenge. Charlie Graham sees this case as his bootstrap to unseat Judge Janet Kanterman and secure his future as a powerful member of the bench. But, Charlie has a history of miscues and mischief during the trial of major cases and this one will be no different. Casey Portman, the judge’s bailiff; is in love with the handsome sheriff and sees a future with him that looks very much like the cover of a family magazine. She is completely unprepared for what life has in store for her, some of which will bring her close to the end of her life and to the edge of her endurance. The ripple effects of the young man’s death will resonate from an elite country club to the inner circle of high end hookers, with murder on the minds of some seemingly ordinary people inside and outside of the courthouse. And through it all runs the trial of a respected neurosurgeon who retired to find a peaceful life in Florida and found the possibility of hanging from a noose, instead.

Book Highland Park and River Oaks

Download or read book Highland Park and River Oaks written by Cheryl Caldwell Ferguson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-08-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shows how the developers of Highland Park in Dallas and River Oaks in Houston were trying to create better living conditions in a countryside atmosphere away from the uncontrolled development that had blighted late 19th-century and early 20th-century urban neighborhoods in Texas. Also explores why planned suburban and community growth failed at the city-wide level and remained confined to elite suburbs. Also looks at subdivisions in Fort Worth, San Antonio, Amarillo, Wichita Falls, Beaumont, Galveston, and Port Arthur to provide information on how city planners worked with landscape architects to incorporate infrastructure improvements, coordinate landscape planning, and employ such legal devices as restrictive covenants to shape elite space coherently. The work of Texas' foremost suburban house architects, such as C.D. Hill, William Ward Watkin, and John F. Staub, is also analyzed"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The obvious answer to how cities can attract creative talent is to provide the sort of environment that these people want. Surveys show how creative-class citizens, especially millennials, favor communities with street life. #2 The American landscape has changed since the seventies, when most teens could walk to school, to the store, and to the soccer field. Now, the majority of teenagers do not have driver’s licenses. #3 The millennials are the biggest population bubble in fifty years. Sixty-four percent of college-educated millennials choose first where they want to live, and only then do they look for a job. They plan to live in America’s urban cores. #4 The generation raised on Friends is not the only one looking for new places to live. Front-end boomers, who are citizens that cities want, are looking for walkability.
