Download or read book Oakland s Chinatown written by William Wong and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oakland's Chinatown has a history every bit as compelling as its more famous neighbor across San Francisco Bay. Chinese have been a presence in Oakland since the 1850s, bringing with them a rich and complex tradition that survived legalized discrimination that lingered until the 1950s. Once confined to a small area of downtown where restaurants stir-fried, laundries steamed, and vegetable stands crowded the sidewalks, Chinese gradually moved out into every area of Oakland, and the stands evolved into corner groceries that cemented entire neighborhoods. Chinese helped Oakland grow into a modern business and cultural center and have gained prominence in every aspect of the city's commerce, politics, and arts.

Book Organizational Histories of Nonprofit Human Service Organizations

Download or read book Organizational Histories of Nonprofit Human Service Organizations written by Michael J. Austin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on an important but complicated question: How have nonprofit human service organizations sustained themselves over time? It documents the organizational histories of pioneering nonprofits that have unique missions and significant longevity – in one case, 157 years. This volume provides one of the few documented histories of nonprofit human service organizations and includes a cross-case analysis of the major themes that help to expand our understanding of organizational lifecycles with respect to organizational growth and resilience. The major themes appear in the form of clusters of organizations that are exemplars of: leadership (experiences of either founding or long-term executive directors); internal operations (capacity to respond to changing community needs); and external relations (capacity to develop unique and/or sustained relationships with funding sources and/or donor populations). These cases also provide students of nonprofit management with opportunities for case-based learning that complements the more time-limited and episodic teaching cases which rarely provide learners with a longitudinal perspective of nonprofit organizations. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Evidence-Based Social Work.

Book Immigrant Community Services in Chinese and Vietnamese Enclaves

Download or read book Immigrant Community Services in Chinese and Vietnamese Enclaves written by Winston Tseng and published by LFB Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tseng studies community based organizations (CBOs) within Chinese and Vietnamese enclaves. These provide cultural services, leadership, and advocacy, facilitating social adjustment. Their viability depends on government and community support and adapting to changing political and community priorities. Even though ethnic CBOs and immigrant populations lack political voice, they represent valuable human and social capital. Ethnic CBOs have central roles to play in fostering collaboration and legitimacy across government and communities and strengthening cultural proficient health and human services to support immigrant populations. With globalization increasingly contested in immigrant neighborhoods, ethnic CBOs have become fundamental urban features that local and global development cannot do without.
