The history of the banana republic began with the introduction of the banana fruit to the U. Among the Honduran people, the United Fruit Company was known as El Pulpo "The Octopus" , because its influence pervaded Honduran society, controlled their country's transport infrastructure, and sometimes manipulated Honduran national politics with anti-labor violence. Maybe the most impressive part about this is that, though its steeped in philosophy and politics and allusions, it never stops being funny. With Mueller gone and Pelosi equivocating, a vengeful and vindictive Trump will become more emboldened to complete the transformation of America into his autocratic image during this or, odds are, a second, disfiguring term. November 20, Domestically, the corrupt national government of Macondo abets the business policies and labor practices of the foreign corporations, which brutally oppress the workers. December 1, Ecuador is the second largest producer of bananas for the US, and a top exporter taking its fair share of the global market. It would be grotesque to always listen to a statesman brag about the murders he orders. But, unfortunately, Braschi lacks the literary virtues of moderation and the ability to focus. The play dramatizes the plight of prisoners in the United States, Puerto Rico's position as an American territory, and Braschi's struggle for liberty. Friend Reviews.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Frederick Luis Aldama Scholar, playwright, spoken-word performer, award-winning poet, and avant-garde fiction author, since the 1980s Giannina Braschi has been creating up a storm in and around a panoply of Latinx hemispheric spaces. Her creative corpus reaches across different genres, regions, and historical epochs. Her critical works cover a wide range of subjects and authors, including Miguel de Cervantes, Garcilaso de la Vega, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, Antonio Machado, César Vallejo, and García Lorca. Her dramatic poetry titles in Spanish include Asalto al tiempo (1981) and La comedia profana (1985). Her radically ex- perimental genre-bending titles include El imperio de los sueños (1988), the bilingual Yo-Yo Boing! (1998), and the English-penned United States of Banana (2011). With national and international awards and works ap- pearing in Swedish, Slovenian, Russian, and Italian, she is recognized as one of today’s foremost experimental Latinx authors. Her vibrant bilingually shaped creative expressions and innovation spring from her Latinidad, her Puerto Rican-ness that weaves in and through a planetary aesthetic sensibility. We discover as much in her work about US/Puerto Rico sociopolitical histories as we encounter the metaphysical and existential explorations of a Cervantes, Rabelais, Did- erot, Artaud, Joyce, Beckett, Stein, Borges, Cortázar, and Rosario Castel- lanos, for instance. With every flourish of her pen Braschi reminds us that in the distillation and reconstruction of the building blocks of the uni- verse there are no limits to what fiction can do. And, here too, the black scratches that form words and carefully composed blank spaces shape an absent world; her strict selection out of words and syntax is as important as the precise insertion of words and syntax to put us into the shoes of the “complicit reader” (Julio Cortázar’s term) to most productively interface, invest, and fill in the gaps of her storyworlds.

  • American Imperialism
    11/9/12 Study Island Lesson Prev 1 American Imperialism 2 Listed below are some of the important ideas and events 3 involving American diplomacy during the 19th and early 20th Next centuries. Monroe Doctrine President Monroe outlined his foreign policy in a speech given to Congress in 1823. This policy became known as the Monroe Doctrine. It stated that European countries would no longer be allowed to create new colonies or interfere with the affairs of independent nations in the Western Hemisphere. The United States would be willing to fight to prevent new colonies from falling under European control. This doctrine was used as justification for U.S. involvement in the affairs of various countries in Latin America. Manifest Destiny First used in a newspaper article written by John O'Sullivan in 1845, the term "Manifest Destiny" described the idea that the westward expansion of the United States was inevitable because of fate. In 1845, John O'Sullivan wrote a newspaper article on the annexation of Texas in which he said it was America's "manifest destiny to overspread the continent." The concept of Manifest Destiny was also used to justify expansion into California, Oregon, and Alaska. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Manifest Destiny experienced a brief resurgence. Some politicians began to use the ideas of Manifest Destiny to justify expansion overseas, especially to areas of Asia, Latin American, and the Pacific. In 1898 two distinct phases of expansion occurred. The U.S. signed a resolution to annex the Republic of Hawaii, while the Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish- American War included the acquisition of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from Spain.

Postmodern works are seen as a reaction against Enlightenment thinking and Modernist approaches to literature.[1] Postmodern literature, like postmodernism as a whole, tends to resist definition or classification as a "movement". Indeed, the convergence of postmodern literature with various modes of critical theory, particularly reader-response and deconstructionist approaches, and the subversions of the implicit contract between author, text and reader by which its works are often characterised, have led to pre-modern fictions such as Cervantes' Don Quixote (1605,1615) and Laurence Sterne's eighteenth-century satire Tristram Shandy being retrospectively inducted into the fold.[2][3] While there is little consensus on the precise characteristics, scope, and importance of postmodern literature, as is often the case with artistic movements, postmodern literature is commonly defined in relation to a precursor.

  • Creating Banana Republics
    Creating Banana Republics Introduction Written in a yearning voice, “La United Fruit Co,” a poem by Chilean Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, draws attention to US capitalist imperialism in Latin America. In this poem, Neruda refers pejoratively to some of the countries in Central America and the Caribbean as banana republics under the influence of several US corporations. In fact, as Neruda laments, in the 20th century, numerous South American and Caribbean countries became banana republics. The term banana republic was coined in 1904 by American writer William Sydney Porter, who wrote under the pen name O. Henry. Porter had briefly visited the north coast of Honduras and used his experiences in his book Cabbages and Kings. This novel was a collection of interwoven short stories describing the adventures and misadventures of several foreigners in an invented country in Latin America called Anchuria. In it, one of the characters explains: “At that time we had a treaty with about every foreign country except Belgium and that banana republic....” (Henry 1904) Thus, by association, a banana republic came to describe a small, tropical, and politically unstable Latin American country with an agrarian economy. Over time, the phrase had been applied to describe any Latin American countries with non-democratic governments and mono-economies under foreign control, i.e., economies in which foreign corporations have monopolistic control over one of the nation’s major natural resources. The Dawn of the Banana Trade The United States developed an interest in the banana trade in 1870, when Captain Lorenzo D. Baker brought some bananas from the Caribbean to Boston, where he was able to sell them with an exorbitant profit margin.

  • 1 PAINTING the MAYA RED Military Doctrine and Speech In
    PAINTING THE MAYA RED Military Doctrine and Speech in Guatemala’s Genocidal Acts By Frank Smyth The bloodshed woven through the fabric of Guatemalan society remains a rarely told story. One reason for the ongoing lack of attention is the impunity that has long seeped through the northern Central American nation. Senior military officers were the engineers of Guatemala’s worst abuses. But no more than a literal handful were ever brought to justice for any crimes, and many continue to operate above the law today. At the same time, human rights monitors who have tried to unravel the past have themselves been murdered, tortured or threatened one after another over decades in what appears to be an ongoing campaign of organized intimidation. The timing and location of much of the violence is another factor that has helped keep the story in the dark. The largest massacres took place more than a quarter century ago in remote, highland regions among indigenous communities whose first language was not Guatemala’s national one of Spanish but different Mayan dialects. Not only were local and foreign journalists alike denied independent access to the war zones, but the United States, which was by then increasing involvement in El Salvador and other Central American nations, was not providing enough overt aid to Guatemala at the time to generate much interest in the foreign press. The United States was one of several nations providing Guatemala with covert aid, however, as the nation’s military was carrying out major human rights violations. The complicity of foreign governments in assisting and training the Guatemalan Armed Forces may be an additional reason that Guatemala has still not drawn more international focus.

WOODS, United States District Judge: Although the question presented in this case is novel, it is certainly not unique. Over the past eight months, the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York have been flooded with litigation from a handful of plaintiffs seeking injunctive relief, compensatory damages, and, of course, attorneys’ costs and fees for alleged failures by numerous retail and service establishments to sell accessible gift cards.1 Much of this litigation is premised on the meritless argument that Title III of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. § 12181, et seq., requires retailers to create specialty goods for the visually impaired. Because no read of the ADA supports that allegation, Banana Republic, LLC’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED. I. BACKGROUND2 The premise of this case is relatively straightforward. Banana Republic, LLC (“Defendant” or “Banana Republic”), like many other retail businesses, offers consumers the opportunity to purchase “pre-paid cash cards, colloquially referred as ‘store gift cards,’” that can be used in place of cash at its stores.

Embracing alternate discourses on migration: Giannina Braschi's and Luisita López Torregrosa's multi-dimensional literary schemes Carmen Haydée Rivera University of Puerto Rico Río Piedras Campus [email protected] Resumen Lecturas y análisis crítico de los trabajos literarios de varios escritores contemporáneos de la diáspora tienden a complicar la presunción hegemónica que forma parte integral de los discursos nacionalistas sobre la migración caribeña. Estos trabajos muestran una multiplicidad de representaciones de identidades nacionales a la vez que se enfocan en cómo estas identidades se construyen y se interpretan. Este ensayo analiza los trabajos de dos escritoras puertorriqueñas, que residen y escriben en los Estados Unidos, y quienes se apartan de las tradicionales historias de migración caribeña y políticas de identidad y superación socio-económica. Por el contrario, las escritoras interrogan el significado mismo de la palabra diáspora al esbozar su inserción como escritoras cuyo alcance literario cruza fronteras nacionales, culturales y lingüísticas a la vez que contempla una experiencia de vida más ecléctica y una tradición literaria más multifacética. Palabras clave: diáspora caribeña, nacionalismo, escritoras puertorriqueñas, tradición literaria multifacética Abstract Close readings and critical analyses of several contemporary diasporic writers' works demonstrate an increasing tendency to complicate the presumption of homogeneity at the heart of most nationalist discourses on Caribbean migration. These writings showcase a multiplicity of representations of national identities while focusing on how these identities are construed and interpreted. This article analyzes the works of two Puerto Rican authors, living and writing in the US, who deter from depictions of traditional Caribbean migrant stories of identity politics and socio-economic upward mobility in the host culture.

    Endeavor, Vol. 2 Issue 1 Winter 2006 Residents of the Republic: Missing Lands and Fingers Leila Albert (Dr. Kurt Leichtle, Adviser) History Department, University of Wisconsin-River Falls Abstract This paper will demonstrate the damage that the practices of North American companies have caused the nations of Central America while conducting business abroad. Beginning in the 1870s international fruit companies exploited the local land and labor of Central America in their pursuits of wealth. The general attitude of the companies toward the people and governments of Central America was paternalistic. Foreign fruit companies acquired vast tracts of land throughout Central America and built relationships with community leaders to ensure local favor. Findings confirm that fruit companies received concessions from local and national governments. Foreigners owned or controlled nearly all fruit plantations and production in Central America. Rarely did laborers employed by the fruit companies enjoy the benefits of company profits. Research has determined that lower class residents and workers had no means of opposing the oppressive fruit companies. The profits of fruit companies served only to increase the wealth of foreign investors and local elites. Evidence indicates that foreign fruit companies created pristine enclaves for white US citizens working in Central American countries. These white workers held all the management jobs while local workers held only manual and unskilled positions. Studies reveal that investment in Central American countries by these international companies was only done if it proved beneficial to either the fruit company or the fruit market. As factors emerged which made the plantations less profitable, the companies abandoned them and the countries in which they were located.
