  • In the Shadow of Empire and Nation : Chilean Migration to the United
    IN THE SHADOW OF EMPIRE AND NATION: CHILEAN MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES SINCE 1950 By Cristián Alberto Doña Reveco A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Sociology History 2012 ABSTRACT IN THE SHADOW OF EMPIRE AND NATION: CHILEAN MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES SINCE 1950 By Cristián Alberto Doña Reveco This dissertation deals with how Chilean emigrants who have migrated to the US since the 1950s remember and define their migration decision in connection to changing historical processes in both the country of origin and that of destination. Using mainly oral histories collected from 30 Chileans I compare the processes that led to their migration; their memories of Chile at the time of migration; the arrival to the United States, as well as their intermediate migrations to other countries; their memories of Chile during the visits to the country of origin; and their self identifications with the countries of origin and destination. I also use census data and migration entry data to characterize and analyze the different waves of Chilean migration to the United States. I separate each wave by a major historical moment. The first wave commences at the end of World War II and the beginnings of the Cold War; the second with the military coup of September 11, 1973; the third with the economic crisis of 1982; and the fourth with the return to democratic governments in 1990. Connecting the oral histories, migration data and historiographies to current approaches to migration decision-making, the study of social memory, and the construction of migrant identities, this dissertation explores the interplay of these multiple factors in the social constructions underlying the decisions to migrate.

  • William Schaw Lindsay: Righting the Wrongs of a Radical Shipowner Michael Clark
    William Schaw Lindsay: righting the wrongs of a radical shipowner Michael Clark William Schaw Lindsay a perdu ses parents en 1825 à l’âge tendre de dix ans, il s'est enfui en mer en 1831 et il est rentré à terre âgé de vingt-cinq ans et certifié comme maître de bord. Il est devenu courtier de navires et a exploité les caprices du marché marin à la suite de l'abrogation des lois sur la navigation pour devenir armateur, établissant une compagnie de navigation spécialisée dans l'émigration vers l'Australie et affrétant des navires aux gouvernements français et britannique pendant la guerre criméenne. Élu député au parlement en 1854, il a favorisé les issues maritimes mais sa sympathie publique envers les États Confédérés pendant la guerre civile l'a mené vers des accusations que ses bateaux cassaient le blocus des États-Unis. Introduction “His family details are sketchy...”1 For a century and a half, many wrongs have been written about William Schaw Lindsay and this paper will attempt to clarify how and why he has been misrepresented. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography claims that his family details are sketchy yet Lindsay was proud of his lowly origins and never concealed them. He was born during a gale on 19 December 1815 at the manse of his uncle, the Reverend William Schaw, in the county town of Ayr in South-West Scotland.2 Tragically, Lindsay’s father died four years later, followed by the death of his mother in 1825 and Lindsay wrote “From that moment I felt I was a child of poverty whose lot was to earn my bread by the sweat of my brow.’” 3 The childless minister and his wife willingly took Lindsay into the manse and sent him to Ayr Academy in the hope that he would become a Free Church minister like himself.

  • Remembering the Falklands War Media, Memory and Identity Sarah Maltby
    Remembering the Falklands War Media, Memory and Identity Sarah Maltby palgrave macmillan memory studies Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies Series Editors: Andrew Hoskins University of Glasgow Glasgow , United Kingdom John Sutton Department of Cognitive Science Macquarie University Macquarie , Australia Aim of the Series The nascent fi eld of Memory Studies emerges from contemporary trends that include a shift from concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, from ‘what we know’ to ‘how we remember it’; changes in generational memory; the rapid advance of technologies of memory; panics over declining powers of memory, which mirror our fascination with the possibilities of memory enhancement; and the development of trauma narratives in reshaping the past. These factors have contributed to an intensifi cation of public discourses on our past over the last thirty years. Technological, political, interpersonal, social and cultural shifts affect what, how and why people and societies remember and forget. This groundbreaking new series tackles questions such as: What is ‘memory’ under these conditions? What are its prospects, and also the prospects for its interdisciplinary and systematic study? What are the conceptual, theo- retical and methodological tools for its investigation and illumination?

  • Mike Traynor)
    Falklands March - July 1990 (Mike Traynor) I went down south long after the invasion, so we had it pretty good, up at the Mount Pleasant. Firstly, I can't remember anyone who was pleased to be selected to go! I certainly wasn't looking forward to it but just accepted it. 18 hours on an aircraft is a long time for anyone. It was quite pleasant at first arriving in Ascension, glorious sunshine, thinking this is OK. When we arrived in Ascension we were told that everyone in the Falklands was moaning about lack of mail from home. It was found out that all the mail from the previous two days had been off loaded to accommodate some essential equipment that was required urgently. To ensure we loaded as much mail as possible, everyone on board had to be weighed, together with any hand baggage you had. I think I was 500 letters and a couple of small packages. The ritual when you arrived at Mount Pleasant was that you were met by the person you were relieving and just about everyone had a placard stating only 122 days to do! A couple of stories I heard from a SWO from Kinloss who had been down three times. First time just after hostilities. Seemingly they were living in tents and ISO's, large metal shipping containers. Of course the SWO had the biggest and best container and being a good organiser, he had loads of home comforts. The container served as his office which was curtained off midway, behind which was his sleeping area.

  • Postcards from Chile and Images from an Archive: Lighting the Nitrate of the 1973 Coup
    humanities Article Postcards from Chile and Images from an Archive: Lighting the Nitrate of the 1973 Coup Louise Purbrick School of Humanities, University of Brighton, Brighton BN2 1RA, UK; [email protected] Received: 25 April 2018; Accepted: 25 October 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: This article examines a mass produced postcard image as a picture of conflict. It considers the postcard as a Benjaminian ‘prismatic fringe’ through which an archive can be viewed, wherein documents of the British trade in Chilean nitrate are juxtaposed with those of General Pinochet’s 1973 military coup. The archive itself is explored as a site of loss and its postcard, an unvarying idealisation, as a particularly problematic but powerful image that renders conflict out of sight. Keywords: postcard; archive; conflict; nitrate; memory; trace; Chile 1. Introduction Not all pictures of conflict carry the visual shock of photojournalism in either its past or present forms, not all have the sombre grey tones of newspaper photographic reproductions that depict the awful wreckage of exploded bombs, and not all consist of the bright pixels sent across internet sites that clinically translate the horror of bodies ripped apart. Some pictures of conflict are everyday artefacts. For all their banality (Billig 1995), they can be more powerful than the shocking exposures of war because they are less disruptive. Insidious instead, they quietly install the inequalities of conflict into everyday life (Edensor 2002), while conflict itself, and the terrible acts of violence that accompanies it, are often obscured. A postcard examined in this article, is one such everyday artefact, a mass produced image intended for domestic exchange.
