Despite redefinitions of the Peruvian state as multicultural/multilingual and the adoption of intercultural concepts in Peruvian education law, the official interpretation of intercultural principles has tended to undermine the social transforming potential implicit in intercultural education. First, official Peruvian education policy overlooks the historical and cultural contributions of non-European and non-Incan social groups. Second, it fails to address inequality and inequity between socio-cultural groups in the access to economic-political resources. Third, it restricts intercultural education programs to Indigenous speaking communities. This study notes how Peruvian intercultural education policy is shaped by state discourses on national identity and by the structure of official Peruvian identity, the Castilian- Inca mestizo entity, and thus ignores Peru’s African, Asian, and Middle Eastern roots. By arguing for the inclusion of Afro-Peruvian traditions, this research offers a model for opening intercultural education policy to other excluded socio-cultural groups. Archival and contemporary evidence is used to show how the substantial African presence in Peru has been erased from official history, with negative socio-political consequences for Afro-Peruvians. It presents the philosophical, political, pedagogical, and sociological contributions of the Senegalese Leopold Sedar Senghor (1906-2001), and the Afro- Peruvians Nicomedes Santa Cruz Gamarra (1925-1992) and Jose Carlos Luciano Huapaya (1956-2002) as bases for rethinking Peruvian cultural diversity and intercultural policies from decolonized, democratic, and global perspectives. Further, it presents objections and counter- vi proposals to intercultural education policies of the Peruvian state that were gathered in a small pilot study of the personnel of the Afro-PeruvianYapatera High School and the nonprofit organizations CEDET and Lundu. Finally, it articulates these counter-proposals with Senghor, Santa Cruz, and Luciano’s theoretical inputs for decolonizing and democratizing Peruvian intercultural education policy. Keywords: Intercultural Education, Peru, Afro-Latino, Criollo, Colonial Legacy, Mestizaje, Leopold Sedar Senghor, Nicomedes Santa Cruz, José Carlos Luciano, Decolonization. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS....................................................................................................v ABSTRACT………………………………………………………………………………...vi INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………………………..1 CHAPTER 1.

Department of Urban Environment System, Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan 2. CISMID, Faculty of Civil Engineering, National University of Engineering, Lima, Peru Abstract: Deep shear-wave velocity profiles at eight places in Lima Peru were estimated based on the inversion of dispersion curves. The dispersion curves were calculated from small and large microtremor arrays using two methods: the F-k proposed by Capon (1969) and the CCA proposed by Cho et al. (2004). For the purpose of large array measurement we introduced a new type of sensor. Important results are the relative shallow depths to the basement rock in the area classified as alluvial gravel that covers most of the area of Lima city; and the relative large depth to the bedrock in places identified as VSV and CMA. It is recommended that this study be complemented with PS loggings in order to verify the estimated profiles. Key words: Microtremor array, dispersion curve, inversion, soil profile, H/V spectrum. conditions that characterize areas of low or high 1. Introduction probability to be affected by earthquakes is of great This study is a part of the project “Enhancement of importance, especially in places like Lima that have Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster Mitigation scarce information as to deep soil

The short story Japanese-Peruvians in Peru, the United of the Japanese in Peru, then, is many ways a States, and Japan microcosm of the larger saga of migration, discrimination and assimilation in the Nobuko Adachi globalized, racialized, transnational twenty-first century world. On June 13, 2007, the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs created a commission to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the relocation, internment, and deportation of Latin Americans of Japanese descent to the United States during World War II. Among these were almost two thousand Peruvian citizens and permanent residents. Though not as widely known as the famous saga of internment and redress of Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadians, in many ways the story of the Japanese in Peru is more intriguing, as much information still lies in the shadows, and is only now coming to light. Likewise, the issues of civil liberties that underscore this story—how a powerful nation can coerce a weaker ally into handing over some of its own people for imprisonment in another country without due process, on the ground that they are potential subversives—are all too obvious in a post 9/11 world fighting a Panama Canal Zone: Japanese Peruvians en route “war on terrorism”.

TRAFFIC CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT CONDITIONS 6.1. TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL CONDITIONS At the present time, October 2004, there are over 710 signalized intersections in the study area, as shown in Figure 6.1-1. The signalized intersections are mainly divided into two (2) zones for control management, the Municipality of Lima covering 621 intersections in the city of Lima and the Municipality of Callao Municipality covering 89 intersections in the city of Callao. Signalized Intersections Source: Municipal Direction of Urban Transport (DMTU) Figure 6.1-1 Location of Signalized Intersections in Study Area 6.1.1. FACILITIES The traffic signals that are maintained are mostly vertical-type signal heads and these are installed at major intersections. The traffic signals with pedestrian crossing type are almost always employed in the urban area. At some intersections, traffic lights are not visible because of low poles, which frequently make it difficult for drivers who are behind large buses to see them. Currently, new types of horizontal-type signal heads have been installed on Av. Canada in the central area. Some traffic lights are not working properly. In the city of Callao, a private company (TEC Corporation) operates the traffic signals through a traffic control center. On the other hand, in the city of Lima, the Municipal Direction of Urban Transport (DMTU) of the Municipality of Lima operates the traffic signals. 6-1 The Master Plan for Lima and Callao Metropolitan Area Urban Transportation in the Republic of Peru (Phase 1) Final Report 6.1.2.

  • 1 Chapter Fourteen Asians in the Americas
    Draft: Do Not Cite Erika Lee Asian Americas 4/18/12 Chapter Fourteen Asians in the Americas as Twenty-first Century Model Minorities, Transnational Migrants, and Diasporic Citizens Contemporary Asians in the Americas are creating new, multilayered diasporic identities. Like earlier Asian immigrants, today’s new arrivals do so in a variety of ways. They are simultaneously ethnic and immigrant minorities within nations, transnational migrants who engage in two homelands, and diasporic citizens making connections across borders. These varied identities offer Asians flexibility in defining what “Chinese American,” “Japanese Brazilian,” “South Asian Canadian,” etc. mean and under what contexts. At the same time, the status of Asian immigrants in the Americas continue to be influenced by changing global politics and relations between Asia and the Americas as well as domestic race, class, and gender relations. History, too, including deliberate acts of remembering, preserving, and commemorating the roles and contributions of Asians in the Americas, has become a central part of defining what it means to be Asian in the Americas today. Immigrant Minorities Contemporary Asian immigrants in the Americas are first immigrant and ethnic minorities within specific nation states. New Chinese immigrants in the United States, for example, have helped to revive older Chinatowns in big urban centers like New York City. At the same time, they have also formed new ethnic enclaves in the suburbs, complete with Chinese-owned banks, restaurants, malls, Chinese-language

  • Intercultural Education and Harakmbut Identity
    INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION AND HARAKMBUT IDENTITY: A CASE STUDY OF THE COMMUNITY OF SAN JOSE IN SOUTHEASTERN PERU SHEILA HELEN AIKMAN Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Institute of Education, University of London BIBL March 1994 LONDON UNIV ABSTRACT National governments in Latin America have deliberately used education to try to integrate indigenous peoples into 'modern' society and thereby further economic development. Nevertheless, 'development' in the Amazon has brought widespread destruction of indigenous territories and erosion of the very basis of indigenous identities and ways of life. The failure of formal education has focused indigenous peoples' attention on the need for culturally appropriate education and demands for 'intercultural bilingual' education. This study examines learning and education in a remote Arakmbut community in the Peruvian Amazon where external political, social and economic influences are threatening indigenous identity. It considers the conflicts and tensions which exist between the formal school, implanted in the community, and the Arakmbut cultural basis of learning, education and knowledge which is built upon a fundamentally different world view. Because of the incompatibility of world views, the Arakmbut have developed strategies to try to limit the influence of the Catholic mission-controlled school and keep their own educational practices distinct. For many indigenous peoples, intercultural education provides a means of both strengthening and maintaining their way of life and acquiring competencies for their participation in the life of the nation state. However, for the Arakmbut, intercultural education poses a dilemma because its predominantly literate and formal nature threatens their 'informal' learning processes, the spiritual basis of their knowledge and the oral character of their indigenous and collective identity.
