Download or read book The First Suburban Chinatown written by Timothy Fong and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1994-07-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monterey Park, California, only eight miles east of downtown Los Angeles, was dubbed by the media as the "First Suburban Chinatown." The city was a predominantly white middle-class bedroom community in the 1970s when large numbers of Chinese immigrants transformed it into a bustling international boomtown. It is now the only city in the United States with a majority Asian American population. Timothy P. Fong examines the demographic, economic, social, and cultural changes taking place there, and the political reactions to the change. Fong, a former journalist, reports on how pervasive anti-Asian sentiment fueled a series of initiatives intended to strengthen "community control," including a movement to make English the official language. Recounting the internal strife and the beginnings of recovery, Fong explores how race and ethnicity issues are used as political organizing tools and weapons. In the series Asian American History and Culture, edited by Sucheng Chan, David Palumbo-Liu, Michael Omi, K. Scott Wong, and Linda Trinh Võ.

Download or read book Cecil and Lois An Old Love Story Revisited written by Cecil Smith and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True love endures. This love story has taken over fifty-seven years to tell. It began with the hot fiery passion of youth, the separation of our lovers because of time and space, and then the rekindling of that love from the embers found in the ashes of that fire.The story starts in the coastal town of Watsonville, California, where these lovers met at Watsonville High School in 1960. Anyone who was alive in the fifties and early sixties really miss those good old days. We did not realize at that time how great they were. We enjoyed simple pleasures. Cruising on a Saturday night, drive-in movies, and many nights sitting at the beach listening to the radio. We were innocent but not prudish, mischievous but not mean, respectful to our parents, the elderly, and those in authority. We were not angels, but neither were we devils.So from those days, which have taken on an idealistic perspective, we progress to real life as grown-ups in the eighties and nineties. This double autobiography follows the lives of Cecil and Lois through marriages, divorces, births, deaths, and all the myriad of unexpected events that came along the way.And at last we reach retirement after all those years of employment. What we hoped for does not turn out exactly like we thought. Again, unexpected events and surprises await us. But true love endures.

Download or read book Gentle Artist of the San Gabriel Valley written by Josette Laura Temple and published by Stephens Press, LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter P. Temple grew up in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California. His father was the founder of Temple City, and his ancestors on both sides were members of the valley's First Families, dating back to 1841. As a boy, he experienced life on a rancho, witnessed the genesis of California's oil fields, and appreciated the natural glory of the valley's hillsides. By the time Walter reached his sixties, he saw that this beautiful valley was changing and prospering, and familiar buildings that had been an integral part of his early heritage were being razed in the path of city development. He knew that if future generations were to value the history of the area, such landmarks must somehow be preserved. He began to record them in sketches, watercolors and oils as gifts to share with those who might appreciate them. Gentle Artist is a collection of those artworks and related family photographs, lovingly presented by Walter's daughter,Josette.

Download or read book Envisioning America written by Tritia Toyota and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Envisioning America is a groundbreaking and richly detailed study of how naturalized Chinese living in Southern California become highly involved civic and political actors. Like other immigrants to the United States, their individual life stories are of survival, becoming, and belonging. But unlike any other Asian immigrant group before them, they have the resources—Western-based educations, entrepreneurial strengths, and widely based social networks in Asia—to become fully accepted in their new homes. Nevertheless, Chinese Americans are finding that their social credentials can be a double-edged sword. Their complete incorporation as citizens is bounded both by mainstream discourse in the United States, which paints them racially as perpetual foreigners, and by an existing Asian-Pacific American community not always accepting of their economic achievements and transnational ties. Their attempts at inclusion are at the heart of a vigorous struggle for recognition and political empowerment. This book challenges the notion that Asian Americans are apathetic or apolitical about civic engagement, reminding us that political involvement would often have been a life-threatening act in their homeland. The voices of Chinese Americans who tell their stories in these pages uncover the ways in which these new citizens actively embrace their American citizenship and offer a unique perspective on how global identities transplanted across borders become rooted in the local.
Download or read book The Transpacific Experiment written by Matt Sheehan and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely, vital account of California’s unique relationship with China, told through the exploits of the entrepreneurs, activists, and politicians driving transformations with international implications. Tensions between the world’s superpowers are mounting in Washington, D.C., and Beijing. Yet, the People's Republic of China and the state of California have built deep and interdependent socioeconomic exchanges that reverberate across the globe, making California and China a microcosm of the most important international relationship of the twenty–first century. In The Transpacific Experiment, journalist and China analyst Matt Sheehan chronicles the real people who are making these connections. Sheehan tells the story of a Southern Californian mayor who believes a Chinese electric bus factory will save his town from meth labs and skinheads. He follows a Chinese AI researcher who leaves Google to compete with his former employer from behind the Great Firewall. Sheehan joins a tour bus of wealthy Chinese families shopping for homes in the Bay Area, revealing disgruntled neighbors and raising important questions about California’s own narratives around immigration and the American Dream. Sheehan’s on–the–ground reporting reveals movie sets in the “Hollywood of China,” Chinese–funded housing projects in San Francisco, Chinese immigrants who support Donald Trump, and more. Each of these stories lays bare the new reality of twenty–first–century superpowers: the closer they get to one another, the more personal their frictions become. “Cuts right to the heart of the relationship between Silicon Valley and China: the tangled history, the current tensions, and the uncertain future . . . a must–read.”—Kai–Fu Lee, former president of Google China and founder of Sinovation Ventures
