Engaging with the fields of transnational American cultural studies and postcolonial studies, this study articulates a transnational reading practice useful for addressing the writers and regions of the American West, the Pacific and the Caribbean in a transnational nexus called the Shores of US Empire. Methodologically inspired by Chinese American author Maxine Hong Kingston and Trinidadian born C.L.R James, the project outlines a practice of reading and writing transnationally that considers US literatures of travel in conversation with contemporary Pacific and Caribbean authors. Chapter one addresses literatures of travel by American authors such as Richard Henry Dana, Jr. and Twain, whose texts, rather than simply being documentary or apologists of US imperial expansion, reflect contact zones of the contested cultural, political and geographical processes of expansion. Chapter two focuses upon the creative literary imagination, looking for other possibilities and alternative epistemologies gleaned from Caribbean and Pacific authors. Drawing from the diverse political, creative and theoretical body of authors of the Spanish and French Caribbean like Martí, Retamar, Cabrera Infante and Carpentier, and Cesaire, Fanon, and Glissant as well as poetic authors from the Anglo-Caribbean like Derek Walcott, John Agard, and novelist Michelle Cliff, Chapter Two of this dissertation proffers a method of poetic historiography attentive iv to challenging western models of materialist history; the works of these authors provide an alternative historiography at sea in the Caribbean. These texts also critique the production of anthropological knowledge in the Caribbean and Pacific contexts. Chapter three shifts back to the Pacific to look at the military legacy left by US imperial expansion and the social and cultural movements that have emerged to contest the US presence on Pacific shores. I address the contexts of Hawai‘i and Bikini Atoll, considering texts by Rodney Morales and Kingston. Overall I argue that Pacific and Caribbean authors bring island geographies to the center of world historical events, challenging the overarching Euro-American myth of island isolation. v DEDICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I‘d like to thank the members of my committee Rob Wilson, Susan Gillman, and Norma Klahn for seeing me through this journey at Santa Cruz. I‘d also like to thank members of the faculty at Santa Cruz and beyond who influenced my critical work and experience along the way although not directly on my committee, namely professors Lourdes Martinez-Echazabal, Louis Chude-Sokei, and Neferti Tadiar. Upon completing my dissertation, I‘d always looked forward to getting my photo taken by the department with the much anticipated document in its proper official box with an ecstatic ear-to-ear grin on my own countenance. I also always harked back to a passage from a dedication in Steinbeck‘s East of Eden which came to mind as I urged myself to ‗tie a bow‘ on the project and be done: ―Well here‟s your box. Nearly everything I have is in it, and it is not full. Pain and excitement are in it, and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts—the pleasure of design and some despair and indescribable joy of creation. And on top of these are all the gratitude and love I have for you. And still the box is not full,‖ marking Steinbeck‘s remarks to Pascal Covici. Since my journey to complete this document has taken so long, and been quite the extended journey, not surprisingly, the technology has changed, and we‘ve entered the digital age, and there will be no representative picture of me with dissertation and said official box, unless I stage one myself. The online library awaits me. However, the words of Steinbeck‘s dedication are still true: what remains within here is a document filled with the pleasure of design and some despair and the indescribable joy of creation. And yet, our work as intellectuals, academics, vi and/or activists is never fully finished. Despite being ―done,‖ the box is never full— unfinalizable in a sense. Many thanks also go out to my friends in the humanities and social sciences without which this ongoing journey would not be possible, namely the camaraderie and ongoing creative projects and friendships of Christy Lupo, Jake Thomas, Sarah Romano and Dina El Dessouky. To you all I am forever grateful. Thanks to my family, especially my mom and Uncle Don for being supportive of my literary interests, and to Dylan who showed up just in time to see me over this bridge. And finally, credit is due to the many scholar-activist-poets whose work inspired me to write this inquiry—many of whom have passed on during the composition of my dissertation, which is either a testament to them leaving us too soon or a symptom of how long I‘ve strung out this journey—across lifetimes it seems. In some fashion, it is my hopes that this dissertation whether in the physical world in future book form or in the virtual world in digital form, pays homage to my debt to them and their creative inspiration. With the closing words of Gloria Anzaldúa, ―This almost finished product seems an assemblage, a montage, a beaded work with several leitmotifs and with a central core, now appearing, now disappearing in a crazy dance.‖ vii The Shores of US Empire: Islands and Geographies of Historical Struggle in the Literary Imagination Introduction I. The Shores of US Empire: “el mar does not stop at borders” Wind tugging at my sleeve feet sinking into the sand I stand at the edge where the earth touches ocean where the two overlap a gentle coming together at other times and places a violent clash. –Gloria Anzaldúa, ―Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza‖ I want to begin my dissertation with a tribute to the late Gloria Anzaldúa (1942-2004), meztiza poet-activist, whose body of work and aura I‘ve had the pleasure and privilege of learning from while at Santa Cruz. In the passage above taken from Borderlands / La Frontera, she locates her ―feet sinking into the sand‖— the sand in her context, being the shores of the Rio Grande. By the time of Anzaldúa‘s writing in 1987, the border waters of the Rio Grande had long been turned into what she calls the ―Tortilla Curtain‖ borrowing from Cold War imagery to refer to and localize the embattled river as a ―1,950 mile-long open wound‖ / ―una herida abierta‖ across which families and histories had been torn by the earlier border-policies imposed after 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the US- Mexican War.1 Anzaldúa, immersed in the seemingly peaceful moment of standing 1 See Gloria Anzaldúa‘s, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987, 1999). (Aunt Lute Books: San Francisco): 24. All subsequent references will be made in the text. Anzaldúa is apt to give us in her poem a ―birth-date‖ for the border, suggesting the way it has literally become a living entity over and above a referent on a timeline in the lives

(Nasdaq: ICON) (“Iconix” or the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its interest in the Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands to DHX Media Ltd. for $345 million in cash, subject to a customary working capital adjustment. John Haugh, Chief Executive Officer of Iconix, said, “One of our strategic objectives has been to de-lever and strengthen our balance sheet. This sale aligns with this objective. As we monetize the value we have created in our entertainment business, we can reduce our debt and pay down a term loan that is expensive and highly restrictive. We are now focused on a second strategic objective of driving profitable revenue growth by focusing our resources on the businesses where we have a leadership position- fashion, active and home. Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake are iconic entertainment properties, and we are proud of the contributions Iconix has made to these brands. Specifically with Peanuts, in partnership with the Schulz family, we have produced the first-ever feature film, delivered countless worldwide collaborations and significantly grown the worldwide presence of Peanuts.” The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this transaction plus additional cash on the balance sheet to pay down approximately $362 million of debt.

Nutzer- und PlanerIn- nen agieren hier auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise, Finanzierung und Entwicklungsprozesse laufen jeweils anders ab. Einfamilienhäuser werden auf direkten Wunsch der NutzerInnen und auf Basis der Bedürfnisse ebendieser geplant und gebaut. Geschoßwohnbau bedarf einer höheren Vorfi nanzierung und wird ohne di- rektes Einbeziehen der NutzerInnen produziert. In den beiden Sektoren sind große Unterschiede in Bezug auf Änderungs- und Anpassungsprozesse erkennbar. Experimente sind im Einfamilienhausbereich keine Seltenheit, im Geschoßwohnbau jedoch sind sie kaum anzutreff en und meist beschränkt auf allgemeine As- pekte wie die Fassade, die Erschließung oder die Gruppierung der Wohneinheiten. Selten aber betreff en sie den Raum oder die Leistungsfähigkeit der Wohneinheiten selbst. In der zeitgenössischen Architekturdebatt e wird oft die Frage aufgeworfen, ob die bestehenden Systeme in der Lage sind, adäquate Lösungen für den Geschoßwohnbau anzubieten.

  • Stevensoniana; an Anecdotal Life and Appreciation of Robert Louis Stevenson, Ed. from the Writings of J.M. Barrie, S.R. Crocket
    ——; — ! 92 STEVENSONIANA VIII ISLAND DAYS TO TUSITALA IN VAILIMA^ Clearest voice in Britain's chorus, Tusitala Years ago, years four-and-twenty. Grey the cloudland drifted o'er us, When these ears first heard you talking, When these eyes first saw you smiling. Years of famine, years of plenty, Years of beckoning and beguiling. Years of yielding, shifting, baulking, ' When the good ship Clansman ' bore us Round the spits of Tobermory, Glens of Voulin like a vision. Crags of Knoidart, huge and hoary, We had laughed in light derision. Had they told us, told the daring Tusitala, What the years' pale hands were bearing, Years in stately dim division. II Now the skies are pure above you, Tusitala; Feather'd trees bow down to love you 1 This poem, addressed to Robert Louis Stevenson, reached him at Vailima three days before his death. It was the last piece of verse read by Stevenson, and it is the subject of the last letter he wrote on the last day of his life. The poem was read by Mr. Lloyd Osbourne at the funeral. It is here printed, by kind permission of the author, from Mr. Edmund Gosse's ' In Russet and Silver,' 1894, of which it was the dedication. After the Photo by] [./.
