A Feeling of Belonging

A Feeling of Belonging

Shirley Jennifer Lim

New York University Press
2005
sidottu
When we imagine the activities of Asian American women in the mid-twentieth century, our first thoughts are not of skiing, beauty pageants, magazine reading, and sororities. Yet, Shirley Jennifer Lim argues, these are precisely the sorts of leisure practices many second generation Chinese, Filipina, and Japanese American women engaged in during this time. In A Feeling of Belonging, Lim highlights the cultural activities of young, predominantly unmarried Asian American women from 1930 to 1960. This period marks a crucial generation—the first in which American-born Asians formed a critical mass and began to make their presence felt in the United States. Though they were distinguished from previous generations by their American citizenship, it was only through these seemingly mundane "American"activities that they were able to overcome two-dimensional stereotypes of themselves as kimono-clad "Orientals." Lim traces the diverse ways in which these young women sought claim to cultural citizenship, exploring such topics as the nation's first Asian American sorority, Chi Alpha Delta; the cultural work of Chinese American actress Anna May Wong; Asian American youth culture and beauty pageants; and the achievement of fame of three foreign-born Asian women in the late 1950s. By wearing poodle skirts, going to the beach, and producing magazines, she argues, they asserted not just their American-ness, but their humanity: a feeling of belonging.

Finalist for the 2020 Organization of American Historians Mary Nickliss Prize Pioneering Chinese American actress Anna May Wong made more than sixty films, headlined theater and vaudeville productions, and even starred in her own television show. Her work helped shape racial modernity as she embodied the dominant image of Chinese and, more generally, “Oriental” women between 1925 and 1940. In Anna May Wong, Shirley Jennifer Lim re-evaluates Wong’s life and work as a consummate artist by mining an historical archive of her efforts outside of Hollywood cinema. From her pan-European films and her self-made My China Film to her encounters with artists such as Josephine Baker, Carl Van Vechten, and Walter Benjamin, Lim scrutinizes Wong’s cultural production and self-fashioning. Byconsidering the salient moments of Wong’s career and cultural output, Lim’s analysis explores the deeper meanings, and positions the actress as an historical and cultural entrepreneur who rewrote categories of representation. Anna May Wong provides a new understanding of the actress’s career as an ingenious creative artist.

A moving illustrated biography of Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American Hollywood star, and her hardships, triumphs, successes, and scandals, by the leading Anna May Wong expert Shirley Jennifer Lim brings us a story of tenacity and determination in this lush biography, sure to become the essential account of Anna May Wong's life and legacy. Anna May Wong shows the real woman behind the actress’s facade and will inspire a new generation of writers, image creators, fashionistas, and television and film enthusiasts in the 21st century. Wong’s dazzling talent is not in question, yet what often goes unsaid was her feat of perseverance in the face of cinematic and theatrical rejection as well as daunting societal barriers such as the Chinese Exclusion Act and racialized housing segregation. Her legacy spans through her 50-plus films, pathbreaking television series, sumptuous fashion looks, Broadway and vaudeville shows, iconic photographs, groundbreaking journalism, and global fame, making her one of the only Asian American actors to become a household name. Wong’s lack of obedience to a heteronormative lifestyle in conjunction with her wild sexual encounters, debauched night life, and friendships with cultural figures such as Walter Benjamin, Marlene Dietrich, Ramón Novarro, Vincent Price, Rosa Rolanda Covarubbias, Philip Ahn, Hedda Hopper, Carl Van Vechten, Evelyn Waugh, Blanche Knopf, and Paul Robeson, shed light on what it meant to be a trailblazing actress almost a century ago. Anna May Wong uses the actress’s own personal correspondences, never-before-seen archival photos, and creative endeavors such as her writings published in the New York Herald Tribune and her self-made film about China (broadcast on ABC) to tell the story of the "World’s Most Beautiful Chinese” American woman, who rose past the boundaries of the silent and studio eras of white Hollywood.

Student-Centered Teaching & Learning: Proceedings of the 2018 Pedagogicon

In both research and practice, the role of teacher and learner has shifted over recent years. In the traditional approach to college teaching, the instructor was the "sage on the stage" and students passively received their messages. The dynamics of the classroom have evolved dramatically to include a host of active-learning opportunities for students. Faculty often strive to engage students and offer them a learner-centered environment where they develop and reinforce skill sets, using and building upon content from all courses to assist their success in life, beyond academics and the classroom. In addition, faculty engage in professional development through presentations in teaching and learning enhancement, explore and complete online classes on innovative pedagogical strategies, and use lessons learned in and out of their classes to make learning an active process that yields results. The contributions in the 2018 Pedagogicon Proceedings offer perspectives and strategies focused on student-centered teaching. Readers will find a breadth and depth of approaches contained in this collection. We look forward to continuing the conversation with colleagues from around the country, as well as globally, as we advance excellence in student-centered teaching and learning.
