Walicek could yield new insights as well as set a precedent for the development of the field of Caribbean Studies by assisting writers and researchers in expanding their understandings of the topics of inquiry at the center of their work. Concerned about the challenges facing emerging post-colonial societies, he described limited multilingualism among scholars as a forewarning of sorts. In his words: What I still find a little disturbing is that too many Caribbean scholars are still writing within terms of their own island society or a group of island societies, and they are still not writing the sort of more regional scholarship that I would like them to see. I don’t think you can write about the Caribbean as a whole unless you have some kind of control —or mastery—of the three working languages of the region: French, English and Spanish. (27) Translation is integral to the “control” that Lewis sees as necessary for understanding the region, as it promises to facilitate access to insights that would otherwise be out of reach. As his comments suggest, a scholar who can translate well is one who can make significant contributions to existing knowledge and thereby raise the bar for future research. Several shifts that have taken place since that interview was done more than thirty years ago help to situate ideas about translation and multilingualism in terms of the dynamics of contemporary scholarship on the Caribbean. First, it seems that fewer scholars today would insist that fluency in the three European languages that Lewis names is essential to their current work. In fact, many would probably agree that efforts to better understand the region should include additional languages, including the region’s Creole languages and languages spoken in other places, including Surinam and the islands of the Dutch Caribbean (e.g., Dutch, Sranan, Papiamentu). Also significant, in the last few years government agencies in several Caribbean countries have taken steps to provide translation and interpreting services for speakers of Creole languages, thereby establishing a foundation upon which these languages can gain expanded use in formal domains associated with the written word and eventually emerge as “working languages.”1 2 In some instances these steps complement efforts to educate youth in their native lan- guages.

  • The Impact of the Mexican Revolution on Spanish in the United States∗
    The impact of the Mexican Revolution on Spanish in the United States∗ John M. Lipski The Pennsylvania State University My charge today is to speak of the impact of the Mexican Revolution on Spanish in the United States. While I have spent more than forty years listening to, studying, and analyzing the Spanish language as used in the United States, I readily confess that the Mexican Revolution was not foremost in my thoughts for many of those years. My life has not been totally without revolutionary influence, however, since in my previous job, at the University of New Mexico, our department had revised its bylaws to reflect the principles of sufragio universal y no reelección. When I began to reflect on the full impact of the Mexican Revolution on U. S. Spanish, I immediately thought of the shelf-worn but not totally irrelevant joke about the student who prepared for his biology test by learning everything there was to know about frogs, one of the major topics of the chapter. When the day of the exam arrived, he discovered to his chagrin that the essay topic was about sharks. Deftly turning lemons into lemonade, he began his response: “Sharks are curious and important aquatic creatures bearing many resemblances to frogs, which have the following characteristics ...”, which he then proceeded to name. The joke doesn’t mention what grade he received for his effort. For the next few minutes I will attempt a similar maneuver, making abundant use of what I think I already know, hoping that you don’t notice what I know that I don’t know, and trying to get a passing grade at the end of the day.

The Is/enos had very few weapons, and some served unarmed as the state provided no firearms. By the time the British were defeated, the Islenos had sustained the brunt of life and property loss resulting from the British invasion of Louisiana. 1838 The first. Mardi Gras parade takes place in New Orleans on Shrove Tuesday with the help and participation of native-born Latin Americans and Islenos. 1840s The Spanish-language press in New Orleans supersedes the state's French-language press in reach and distribution. 1846-1848 Louisiana-born Eusebio Juan Gomez, editor of the eminent Spanish­ language press newspaper La Patria, is nominated as General Winfield Scott's field interpreter during the Mexican-American War.

The report analyzes the latest reliable language data collected by the U.S. census, including the 1980 national census, and finds a steady shift in language usage from Spanish to English among immigrants and native-born Hispanics. Chapters address these topics: (1) theory and method in the analysis of language shift; (2) the size of the Spanish origin group; (3) the structure of the Spanish origin group; (4) a nativity profile of the Spanish origin group; (5) language shift among immigrants; (6) language shift among the native-born; (7) regional aspects of language shift; (8) the urbanization of the Spanish language population; (9) ethnic origins of this population; (10) modeling population growth in this group; and (11) projections of its size and composition. Appencied materials include notes on interpreting the 1980 census data, technical data, and a comparison of the University of Quebec at Montreal and U.S. Census Bureau models.

  • What Happened to Ponce
    Reconstructing early modern disaster management in Puerto Rico: development and planning examined through the lens of Hurricanes San Ciriaco (1899), San Felipe (1928) and Santa Clara (1956) Ingrid Olivo Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ingrid Olivo All rights reserved ABSTRACT Reconstructing early modern disaster management in Puerto Rico: development and planning examined through the lens of Hurricanes San Ciriaco (1899), San Felipe (1928) and Santa Clara (1956) Ingrid Olivo This is the first longitudinal, retrospective, qualitative, descriptive and multi-case study of hurricanes in Puerto Rico, from 1899 to 1956, researching for planning purposes the key lessons from the disaster management changes that happened during the transition of Puerto Rico from a Spanish colony to a Commonwealth of the United States. The selected time period is crucial to grasp the foundations of modern disaster management, development and planning processes. Disasters are potent lenses through which inspect realpolitik in historical and current times, and grasp legacies that persist today, germane planning tasks. Moreover, Puerto Rico is an exemplary case; it has been an experimental laboratory for policies later promoted by the US abroad, and it embodies key common conditions to develop my research interface between urban planning and design, meteorology, hydrology, sociology, political science, culture and social history. After introducing the dissertation, I present a literature review of the emergence of the secular characterization of disasters and a recent paradigm shift for understanding what a disaster is, its causes and how to respond.

  • Beyond the Critique of Rights: the Puerto Rico Legal Project and Civil Rights Litigation in America’S Colony Abstract
    VALERIA M. PELET DEL TORO Beyond the Critique of Rights: The Puerto Rico Legal Project and Civil Rights Litigation in America’s Colony abstract. Long skeptical of the ability of rights to advance oppressed groups’ political goals, Critical Legal Studies (CLS) scholars might consider a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico and ask, “What good are rights when you live in a colony?” In this Note, I will argue that CLS’s critique of rights, though compelling in the abstract, falters in the political and historical context of Puerto Rico. Although it may appear that rights have failed Puerto Ricans, rights talk has historically provided a framework for effective organizing and community action. Building on the work of Critical Race Theory and LatCrit scholars, this Note counters the CLS intuition that rights talk lacks value by focusing on the origins and development of the Puerto Rico Legal Project, an un- derstudied but critical force for community development and legal advocacy on the island that was founded in response to severe political repression during the late 1970s and early 1980s. This Note draws on original interviews with Puerto Rican and U.S. lawyers and community activists to reveal fissures in the critique of rights and to propose certain revisions to the theory. By concentrating on the entitlements that rights are thought to provide, CLS’s critique of rights ignores the power of rights discourse to organize marginalized communities. The critique of rights also overlooks the value of the collective efforts that go into articulating a particular community’s aspirations through rights talk, efforts which can be empowering andhelp spur further political action.
