Role in the Community

  • Community record held in the corpus as [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/204-clyde-kiang-e6-b1-9f-e9-81-8b-e8-b2-b4201501|TAH encyclopedia record #204 (2015-01-19)]].

  • Author of the movement history 客家志 The Hakka Search for a Homeland (1991): The Hakka Search for a Homeland — scholarship serving the Hakka-Taiwanese community record.

  • Also credited in the corpus as author of THE HAKKA ODYSSEY & THEIR TAIWAN HOMELAND 客家與台灣 (1992): The Hakka Odyssey.

  • Community-organization leadership recorded in the corpus: 會長 of the Taiwan Hakka Association for Public Affairs in North America 2000–2002, per the successive-presidents roster in [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys290|Our Journeys record #290]] (會訓: 「客家人是臺灣人，有關臺灣權益的事務，我們絕對不能缺席」). The same presidency is corroborated by the founding memoir of 北美客協, which records the association’s elite-membership model (48 charter members) and lists 江運貴 among the successive 會長 who「都出錢出力，無怨無悔」— [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys252|Our Journeys record #252]]; the presidency is also corroborated by the English edition of the roster record ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys290-eng|Our Journeys record #290 (EN)]]: Clyde Kiang 2000–2002).

  • Early movement support: listed as a North Dakota contributor to the first 《全美台灣同鄉通訊錄》 compiled by 陳希寬 — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys58|Our Journeys #58, 回憶編印第一本《全美台灣同鄉通訊錄》的甘苦經過]]. The same record also lists him among the 熱心捐助同鄉及代表人 donors (19 copies, alongside 洪宏謨, 張燦鍙 and others).

  • 1992 — 政治 (politics) track speaker at the 14th 美東南區台灣人夏令會 (July 10 ff., Methodist College, Spartanburg, S.C.) — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys245|Our Journeys #245, 美東南區台灣人夏令會簡史]].

  • Educator for the community: lectured 「客家文化 I, II」 at the 長青教室 adult-education program of Irvine台灣長老教會 (ITPC) — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys107|Our Journeys #107, 長青教室]].

  • Corpus re-pass 2026-09-22 (deepen-x slice 09212352-10): fresh ZH+EN grep returns only records already documented above (plus the EN roster edition now linked); no new corpus material, no conflicts.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-23 (slice 09221000-7): SKIP — hit set unchanged (ourjourneys290 ZH+EN, #252, #58, #107, #245, publications487, own #204 record); nothing new to absorb.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-24 (slice 09230500-16): SKIP — hit set unchanged (ourjourneys290 ZH+EN, #252 +eng, #58, #107, #245, publications487, own #204 record); 252-eng roster re-confirmed (HAPA-NA presidents incl. Clyde Kiang 2000–2002), already corroborated by 290-eng link above; nothing new to absorb.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-25 (slice 09240500-9): SKIP — hit set unchanged (ourjourneys290 ZH+EN, #252, #58, #107, #245, publications487, own #204 record); nothing new to absorb.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-25 (slice 09250800-7): SKIP — fresh ZH+EN grep (Clyde Kiang／江運貴) hit set identical to the records already linked above; nothing new to absorb, no conflicts.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-26 (slice 09260317-13): SKIP — fresh ZH+EN grep hit set identical to the records already linked above (ourjourneys290 ZH+EN, #252, #58, #107, #245, publications487, own #204 record); nothing new to absorb, no conflicts.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-27 (slice 09260700-1): SKIP — fresh ZH+EN grep (Clyde Kiang／江運貴) hit set identical to the records already linked above (ourjourneys290 ZH+EN, #252 +eng, #58, #107, #245, publications487, own #204 record); nothing new to absorb, no conflicts.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-10-09 (slice 10081100-10): SKIP — fresh ZH+EN grep returned 12 files, all already linked above or index/hub entries (sources hub, works index); the one surname-adjacent hit (chef-james-chang 「ChingKiang vinegar」) is 鎮江醋, a false positive. Hit set unchanged; nothing new to absorb, no conflicts.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-10-11 (slice 10100800-25): SKIP — fresh ZH+EN grep returned 12 files, all already linked above or index/hub entries (works index, sources hub); hit set unchanged, nothing new to absorb. Side note only (does not touch Clyde’s own 2000–2002 tenure, which is consistent across all rosters): the EN founding memoir [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys252-eng|Our Journeys #252 (EN)]] dates 李彭寶珠/Pao C. Hsu’s presidency 2002–2004 where record #204 says 2003–2004, splits 李金基/Chanchi Lee into 2009–2010 + 2011–2012, and continues the roster with James Y. Chen 2017– (absent from #252). HOLD as a roster-side date discrepancy for the HAPA-NA presidents page, not this page.
