The Short Stories Of Djuna Barnes : A Less Disquieting Vision, Patricia Doughty Jan 1984

The Short Stories Of Djuna Barnes : A Less Disquieting Vision, Patricia Doughty

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Reading the works of the relatively unknown American author, Ojuna Barnes, often proves to be an intense experience, an experience which is not easily forgotten. Although one may not readily comprehend the thematic content of Barnes' work, one is immediately drawn to the beauty and the power of her language. Barnes' language is harmonious with her ideas. In her writing she deals with the often confusing complexities of the human condition, and to express those complexities, she uses language that is as highly charged and as complex as the condition described. She writes poetic fiction, prose that is inundated with …

The Chinese Radio And Television Stations In The United States : A Historical Exploration, Lin Liang Jan 1983

The Chinese Radio And Television Stations In The United States : A Historical Exploration, Lin Liang

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Historically, Chinese immigration to the United States began in around 1850, even though immigration statistics in the United States showed that forty Chinese had arrived before the news reached Hong Kong that gold had been discovered in California in the spring of 1848. As the gold rush tapered off in the early 1860s, the Chinese soon filled in as general laborers, domestic servants, cooks, and gardeners. However, they found opposition from the white laborers in the mining camps as early as 1852, and they were denied eligibility for citizenship. The need to be aided and protected was great. All of …

A History Of The Oldham, South Dakota Socialist Hall From 1913 To 1970, Richard E. Zimmer Jan 1981

A History Of The Oldham, South Dakota Socialist Hall From 1913 To 1970, Richard E. Zimmer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There may be many reasons for the appearance of the Socialist Hall in Oldham, South Dakota. Certainly a primary factor for its construction was the controversial Socialist party that formed a local branch in the Oldham area in 1912. It may be of interest to note that the town of Oldham had an opera house operating prior to the Socialist Hal1 and after the new hal1 was constructed, both continued to provide the community with a wide variety of entertainment and community activities. Unfortunately, the lack of information and the limited time and space does not allow the first opera …
