Proclaimed by THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION as the Scholar who legitimized the study of Chinese America, Him Mark Lai has been at the core of many community institutions as well as a pivotal figure for the Chinese Historical Society of America . CHSA is proud to announce an upcoming project about Him Mark Lai's scholarship and determination to record and celebrate the lives of the descendants of Chinese immigrants to America.
Born in San Francisco in 1925 to immigrant parents, Him Mark Lai's trailblazing accomplishments are many and varied. In 1969 with Phil Choy he team-taught the first college-level course in the United States on Chinese American history at San Francisco State College (now San Francisco State University), before moving on to teach the first course at the University of California, Berkeley. He has written books and essays on Chinese American history and compiled two bibliographies on Chinese language materials on the Chinese in America. Major works include: ISLAND: POETRY AND HISTORY OF CHINESE IMMIGRANTS ON ANGEL ISLAND, 19101940 (coauthor with Genny Lim and Judy Yung; San Francisco: HOC DOI, 1980); CONG HUAQIAO DAO HUAREN [FROM OVERSEAS CHINESE TO CHINESE AMERICAN] (in Chinese; Hong Kong, 1992), BECOMING CHINESE AMERICAN: A HISTORY OF COMMUNITIES AND INSTITUTIONS (Walnut Creek, CA: Altamira Press, 2004); CHINESE AMERICAN VOICES FROM THE GOLD RUSH TO THE PRESENT (coauthor with Judy Yung and Gordon H.

He has consulted on the special collections of and in 2000 made a major donation of his research files to the Ethnic Studies Library of UC Berkeley.

Battles over Latino Art and Public Space in San Francisco
From murals to plazas, parks to landmarks, how have Latina and Latino artists fought for public spaces in San Francisco? How have city planners invented Latino public spaces? Competing visions of place illustrate contestations over history, art, and representation. This tour of Latino art and public spaces exposes larger tensions over city politics and community organizing. Just as the exhibition ¡Murales Rebeldes!—L.A. Chicana/o Murals under Siege! (CHS, April-September, 2018) unearths complex struggles over murals in Los Angeles, this talk illuminates ways Chicana/o and Latina/o artists have strived for power and met resistance in San Francisco.

Her writing has appeared in academic journals, including Latino Studies and Visual Resources, and in books, such as Beyond el Barrio: Everyday Life in Latina/o America and Imperfections by Chance: Paul Feeley Retrospective, 1954-1966. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin, Cordova taught at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania; and the University of California, Davis. She also has served as an archivist, curator, public historian, and oral historian for various public institutions, including the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center.

Museum of Chinese in America Shows a Little-Known History
Chinese have been in America since before the United States was founded, though few in numbers until the 1840s. Like other ethnic groups, they faced prejudice and exclusion, until the civil rights movements of the 1960s began to tear down racial barriers in education and jobs. In 1980, a museum dedicated to their story started as the Chinatown History Project. The Museum of Chinese in America opened this year at a new site in New York's Chinatown. VOA New York correspondent Carolyn Weaver has more.
