Aunty\u27s Jubilee
Get PDF[Verse 1] We dressed up in our very best we jumped into the sleigh Off to Aunty’s jubilee with hearts so light and gay We romped we pranced we ate we danced we cut the fancy swing Then we gathered in the parlor and we all began to sing.
[Chorus] Oh the sun shines bright in my old Kentuckey home all the guest did sweetly sing, Merrily we roll along, roll along, roll along our voices loud did ring In the evening by the moonlight we would sit all night and listen just as happy as could be And we won\u27t go home until morning from our Aunty’s jubilee.
[Verse 2] We were a jolly party and they came from far and near Everyone was happy and the moon shone bright and clear We bid goodbye to Aunty dear then off for home again Ev’ry one was singing as we journeyed down the lane.
[Chorus 2] Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way what a merry jingleing Way down upon the Swanee river what joy those songs did bring Goodnight ladies one and all we did agree That there’s no place like home sweet home and our Aunty’s jubilee
Before China Beat, There Was China beyond the Headlines
Get PDFFor several years now there has been a close connection between China Beat and China beyond the Headlines. The latter, a series of essay collections edited by myself and Lionel M. Jensen, is designed for a general and classroom audience (Volume One was published in 2000; Volume Two, China’s Transformations, was released in 2007). In addition to some common players who have been involved with both, such as Geremie Barmé, Tim Cheek, Tim Oakes, Jeff Wasserstrom and myself, China Beat and China beyond the Headlines are fortunate to share Susan McEachern of Rowman & Littlefield Publishers as an editor. Each of these ongoing projects strives to create a space for discussion of China that falls between the purely academic and the purely journalistic. Both are committed to accessible and open-ended discussion and to a plurality of subjects and sensibilities. Both are informed by the belief that there’s a strong need for robust, open-minded, and self-reflexive public intellectualism with regard to contemporary China and its rapidly evolving place in the world. Given these close connections and parallel goals, it is fitting to announce an upcoming public outreach workshop that will take place at the University of Colorado this coming weekend.
This event will serve as the basis for a third edition of China beyond the Headlines, which will be published in 2011.
