Anna May Wong: a complete guide to her film, stage, radio and television work

Anna May Wong, born in Los Angeles in 1905 to a traditional family that did not support her ambition, is the only Asian-American actress to have achieved stardom during Hollywood's Golden Age. In her youth she went to hundreds of motion pictures and studied the actors. She remained single to avoid a conventional Chinese marriage that could endanger her career. With her beauty and grace, she gradually became the darling of the intelligentsia, inspiring poems, songs, and crowds of admirers in the British Isles, Europe, and China. During World War II, she toured the United States, New Zealand, and Australia for the benefit of the Chinese war relief. Leaving a legacy of some 60 film appearances, numerous stage and television shows, and several radio spots, Wong remains an outstanding role model for Asian-American performers. This book covers Anna May Wong's entire career through detailed filmographic entries, each containing critical commentary as well as standard cast and technical credits, synopses, and newspaper and magazine reviews. The separate sections detail Wong's stage work and radio and television appearances. Information on Wong's beginnings in Los Angeles and personal life is also provided.

Writing as Witness: Doing Justice to Participants' Testimony

Beth Brant (1994), an Indigenous writer from the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Ontario, supplies both title and inspiration for my exploration of as in the public records of participatory learning and research. My approach challenges practitioners and researchers to a contemporary spirituality that does justice to participants' testimony. Participation, dialogue and are the spiritual principles of social in Paulo Freire's (2002/1972) Pedagogy of the Oppressed. exist, humanly, to name the world, to change it ... Saying that word not the privilege of some few persons, but the right of everyone (p. 88). This quotation strikes at the nub of a vexed question which relates to the often taken-for-granted privilege of writing that word. I have experienced a culture of silence around these spiritual principles of social in the case of the writer as witness. It often a person in the privileged position of researcher, teacher and policymaker who gets to write the word of participants and learners and who selects and deselects from an abundance of testimony [transcripts]. I hope to interrupt this silence by posing questions about what witnesses mean before putting it in writing, it be reports, articles or research summaries. Beth Brant, an Indigenous writer, tells the story of Anna May, a Native woman and the protagonist of Swimming Upstream. The gift of and the privilege of holds a responsibility to be a to my people. To be a to the natural world, to be a to Salmon, to Anna May, to her son, to the sometimes unbearable circumstances of our lives. (p. 70) This reference to the natural world takes me back to Clare Graves' (1974) metaphor of the existential spiral staircase of learning, which framed my own entry to adult education in the 1970s. Graves' spiral of learning aspires to global holism and the delicate balance of interlocking forces as the essence of spiritual connectivity (see www.spiraldynamics.com). Writing in The Futurist in 1974, Graves was predicting that adult learning programs would be evaluated on the basis of whether the education leads to movement up the existential staircase ... [and that] unity with Nature will replace unity with God (p. 82). Yet, the same language of freedom, liberation, transformation, faith, justice, hope and love shapes writings that are expressions of Christian faith (Paulo Freire and bell hooks) and expressions of Native and ecologically based spirituality (Brant). 1994 Writing in the 21st century, I am drawn to a theory-practice of human existence that refuses oppositional spiritualities and instead calls us to attune our writing, teaching, and learning practices to a holistic and life-affirming spirituality. As a writer, Brant seeks to do justice to her people's testimony by creating characters such as Anna May [She] is not just a protagonist in a story, she a real being in my life (p. 70). Through Anna May, Brant bears to the interlocking forces of nature, native lives and history. Brant's animates Bean's (2000) six spiritual principles of learning in community: ecological base; social justice; the dignity of the human person; community based; for liberation; and combined and reflection (pp. 73-74). Participation as the unifying spiritual principle in Bean's examples and applications and Freire's (2002/1972) essential elements of do not vary historically (p. 176). as Theory Style as theory covers the spiritual principles of participation and witnessing applied to the act of writing. Paulo Freire (2002) combines the and practice of witnessing in his writing. His statement that witness not an abstract gesture, but an action a reminder that as also an action--a confrontation with the world and with people--it not static (p. …

Winter Bird Census at Xilitla, San Luis Potosi, Mexico

In an organized, cooperative effort a group of bird students worked, variously from three to seven days, during the Christmas holidays of 1951, to obtain a second winterbird census in the region of Xilitla, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The group consisted of Richard Bentley, Jerram L. Brown, Philip P. Caswell, Anna May Davis, Coralyn Davis, L. Irby Davis, Robert Drawe, Jr., Malcolm Gordon, Jean W. Graber, Richard R. Graber, William J. Hamilton III, Pauline James, William S. Jennings, Marshall Johnston, Edgar Kincaid, Jr., William Lidicker, Jr., John Maroney, Jr., Marcella Newman, Robert J. Newman, Richard C. Rosche, Chester M. Rowell, Charles R. Shaw, Carolyn Somers, and George M. Sutton. A preliminary survey was made on November 22, 23 and 24 by Anna May Davis, L. Irby Davis and Pauline James. The number of teams working simultaneously varied from one to ten on different days, but there were at least nine teams in the field on three of the days and seven in the field on a fourth. L. Irby Davis and Edgar Kincaid, Jr., worked as a single team on January 4 and 5, 1952. The area covered by the various teams represents a typical strip across the mountain range on which Xilitla is located. Each team worked in a limited altitudinal range and worked out from a point on the road which runs from the Rio Axtla through Xilitla to Ahuacatlan and beyond. The area between 5000 and 7000 feet was worked by Jean W. Graber and Richard R. Graber from a base camp on the slope of Cerro Conejo. All work was confined to a Circle of seven and one-half miles' radius with a center in the eastern part of the town of Xilitla. Time spent in the field and total number of species seen on different dates are summarized in table 1. The areas covered (fig. 1) were as follows:

The occurrence of substances which interfere with the determination of ascorbic acid in anthocyanin-containing plant products.
