  • National Origin (Mis)Identification Among Latinos in the 2000 Census: the Growth of the “Other Hispanic Or Latino” Category
    National Origin (Mis)Identification Among Latinos in the 2000 Census: The Growth of the “Other Hispanic or Latino” Category. Matt A. Barreto University of California, Irvine Harvard Journal of Hispanic Policy Volume 15, June 2003 Abstract. The 2000 Census revealed unprecedented population growth among Latinos in the United States with the total Latino population growing to over 35 million. However, the census also revealed its inability to accurately count and distinguish between countries of ancestry among the Latino population. Over fifteen percent of all Latinos living in the United States indicated “other Hispanic or Latino” when asked for specific country of origin for their family heritage. This misclassification has lead many groups of Latinos to question the validity and accuracy of the census instrument, and has frustrated others, expecting to find big gains in their population. Using data from the Census 2000 Summary File 1 (SF1) I model identification as “other” Latino at the county level. Not surprising, I find that Dominicans, Colombians, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans were among the top nationalities miscounted by the 2000 census. In sum, nearly 2 million Central and South Americans were misidentified by the census putting their numbers and clout in question. Through OLS regression analysis I can identify which groups are most misrepresented and what regional variations exist. This research holds great promise not just for advocacy groups, eager to see a more accurate count of their population, but also for policy makers responsible

    Historic Context Statement City of Benicia February 2011 Benicia, CA Prepared for City of Benicia Department of Public Works & Community Development Prepared by page & turnbull, inc. 1000 Sansome Street, Ste. 200, San Francisco CA 94111 415.362.5154 / www.page-turnbull.com Benicia Historic Context Statement FOREWORD “Benicia is a very pretty place; the situation is well chosen, the land gradually sloping back from the water, with ample space for the spread of the town. The anchorage is excellent, vessels of the largest size being able to tie so near shore as to land goods without lightering. The back country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is one of the finest agriculture districts in California. Notwithstanding these advantages, Benicia must always remain inferior in commercial advantages, both to San Francisco and Sacramento City.”1 So wrote Bayard Taylor in 1850, less than three years after Benicia’s founding, and another three years before the city would—at least briefly—serve as the capital of California. In the century that followed, Taylor’s assessment was echoed by many authors—that although Benicia had all the ingredients for a great metropolis, it was destined to remain in the shadow of others. Yet these assessments only tell a half truth. While Benicia never became the great commercial center envisioned by its founders, its role in Northern California history is nevertheless one that far outstrips the scale of its geography or the number of its citizens. Benicia gave rise to the first large industrial works in California, hosted the largest train ferries ever constructed, and housed the West Coast’s primary ordnance facility for over 100 years.

  • Puerto Rico's Quest for Difference Within the United
    1 Liking to Be in America: Puerto Rico’s Quest for Difference within the United States Ángel R. Oquendo* I like to be in America! O.K. by me in America! Ev’rything free in America. For a small fee in America! America , WEST SIDE STORY Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Music by Leonard Bernstein I. The Puerto Rican Cultural Exception When Gabriel García Márquez visited Puerto Rico recently, someone asked him why he had never written about the island. The Colombian Nobel Prize winning novelist smiled and paused for a second before responding. “If I told the truth about Puerto Rico,” he explained, “everyone would say I was making it up.”1 Indeed, the Puerto Rican experience is in many ways too outlandish , even for magical realism. Despite being a territory of the world’s largest exporter of democratic rhetoric, Puerto Rico does not function as a true democracy. Puerto Ricans have absolutely no electoral say with respect to the institutions that enact, execute, and apply the supreme laws of the land.2 * Visiting Professor Boalt Hall, School of L aw (Berkeley); Professor of Law, University of Connecticut School of Law. A.B., M.A., Ph.D., Harvard University; J.D., Yale University.

  • California-Ko Ostatuak: a History Of
    3-79 Af&ti /Jo. 281? CALIFORNIA-KO OSTATUAK: A HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA'S BASQUE HOTELS DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Jeronima (Jeri) Echeverria, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1988 Echevenia, Jeronima (Jeri), Cal^fornia-ko Ostatuak: A History of California's Basque Hotels. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1988, 282 pp., 14 tables, 15 illustrations, bibliography, 512 titles. The history of California's Basque boardinghouses, or ostatuak, is the subject of this dissertation. To date, scholarly literature on ethnic boardinghouses is minimal and even less has been written on the Basque "hotels" of the American West. As a result, conclusions in this study rely upon interviews, census records, local directories, early maps, and newspapers. The first Basque boardinghouses in the United States appeared in California in the decade following the gold rush and tended to be outposts along travel routes used by Basque miners and sheepmen. As more Basques migrated to the United States, clusters of ostatuak sprang up in communities where Basque colonies had formed, particularly in Los Angeles and San Francisco during the late nineteenth century. In the years between 1890 and 1940, the ostatuak reached their zenith as Basques spread throughout the state and took their boardinghouses with them. This study outlines the earliest appearances of the Basque ostatuak, charts their expansion, and describes their present state of demise. The role of the ostatuak within Basque-American culture and a description of how they operated is another important aspect of this dissertation.

  • A New NATO, Euro-Atlantic Security, and the Greek-American Partnership
    Conference Report from A New NATO, Euro-Atlantic Security, and the Greek-American Partnership Washington, D.C. April 28-29, 2009 Organized and Co-sponsored by: The Defence Analyses Institute of the Hellenic Ministry of National Defense The Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis (IFPA) The Konstantinos G. Karamanlis Foundation The North Atlantic Treaty Organization A New NATO, Euro-Atlantic Security, and the Greek-American Partnership As NATO marks its sixtieth anniversary, it faces enduring questions about strategic focus, operational priorities, military requirements, and collaborative ties with partner nations and other international in- stitutions. Some of these questions were addressed at the NATO summit in Strasbourg-Kehl. However, a broader and ongoing dialogue will be essential as the Alliance moves forward in the years ahead. As a contribution to that process, the Defense Analysis Institute of the Hellenic Ministry of National De- fense, the Konstantinos G. Karamanlis Foundation, and the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis (IFPA) with official NATO sponsorship convened a high-level conference in Washington, D.C. on April 28-29, 2009, on the topic A New NATO, Euro-Atlantic Security, and the Greek-American Partnership. Coming just after the Strasbourg-Kehl summit and during the first 100 days of the Obama administration, this meeting provided a unique and timely opportunity to take stock of what was achieved at the summit, what needs to be done going forward, and what the implications are for transatlantic security. With- in this broader context, the meeting also focused on strategic developments in and beyond Southeast- ern Europe and on the key roles that Greece and the Greek-American partnership can play to help en- sure stability and prosperity in this critical region.
