Townsend-Bell A dissertation presented to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Washington University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2007 Saint Louis, Missouri Copyright by Erica E. Townsend-Bell 2007 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Who knew that six years could be so long and yet go by so quickly? If the time has flown by it is only because of the love and support of so many people. First I would like to thank the activist women and men who graciously granted me interviews for their candor, their insightfulness, and their time. I could not have completed this project without their generosity. In particular, I would like to thank Elena Fonseca of Cotidiano Mujer, who didn’t bat an eye when I asked her to tell me about the history of the Uruguayan women’s movement in one sitting; and who was a constant source of information during my fieldwork. I am grateful to Alicia García, Beatriz Ramírez, Claudia de los Santos, Mirta da Silva, and all the women of GAMA for their support, and their inspiration. Thank you to Romero Rodríguez and all the people of Organizaciones Mundo Afro. Stateside, I could not have completed this project without the help of my wonderful, extended dissertation committee. John Carey helped to stoke my interest in Latin America and provided me with funding for exploratory field work trips to Uruguay. He also assured me funding to participate in the Arizona State University Institute for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research, which helped to provide the methodological framework for this dissertation and for future work to come. Sunita Parikh has been a wonderful chairperson. I continue to be amazed by her ability to cut right to the heart of the matter and see things in a way that others do not. I can only hope that a little bit of that ability has rubbed off on me in the years that I have worked with her. This dissertation is much better and more cohesive because of her guidance; all remaining errors are mine alone. Finally, I want to thank Sunita for providing me with a model of how to conduct oneself as a colleague and a professional within the discipline. I simply cannot remember when I became interested in the subject of gender and politics, but I suspect that Lisa Baldez had a lot to do with it. Lisa, I thank you so much for your help, advice, and especially for your encouragement over the years. Mona Lena Krook and Guillermo Rosas graciously agreed to serve on my committee in the late stages of the game. I thank you both for your patience and your help. And I thank you especially for your mentoring. You may not have known it, but I watched you both closely for clues as to how proceed as a junior faculty member and I have learned much. Andy Sobel was kind enough to offer to serve on my committee if I needed it, and I was more than pleased to take him up on his offer. Thanks Andy! A very special thank you the people who really make a dissertation possible: Janet Rensing, Heather Sloan-Randick, and Kerri Therina. I learned so much from the courses that I took with Andrea Friedman and Gerald N. Izenberg, of the history department. You both helped me to think about things from a different perspective, and to recognize the true interdisciplinary nature of this dissertation project. Many thanks to both of you for your continued support of this project. ii The Chancellor’s Fellowship for African-Americans provided the financial support for my graduate education. However, more important was the emotional support and sense of community that it offered to me. I would like to thank all of the Chancellor’s Fellows, Amy Gassel and Dean Robert Thach. I was grateful to be able to spend time with colleagues who would ask how my work was going and then immediately move on to more important things, like babies, and marriage, and movies, and shopping! I would especially like to thank Dr. Sheri Notaro for her kind words, encouragement, and her wonderfully deadpan humor. Thanks Sheri! The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Political Science, the Center for New Institutional Social Sciences, and the Danforth Scholars all provided institutional and financial support for my graduate education and research. This project could not have proceeded with these crucial funding sources. The people of the National Library of the Republic of Uruguay were also an enormous help in my archival research. I am especially appreciative of Ana Binz for her assistance. Thanks to the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture and the Center for Gender Studies at the University of Chicago, for providing me with an intellectual home away from home during my time in Chicago. I really appreciated the opportunity to present my work. I was even more appreciative of the chance to hear about other’s work when I could not imagine the thought of staring at my own for another second. I am especially grateful to Professor Waldo E. Johnson for and the CSRPC for providing me with much needed library privileges and access to the University of Chicago facilities and services. None of this would have been possible without the support of family and friends. I would especially like to thank my adopted Uruguayan family, Jimena, Carmen, Nicolas, and Fernando. You taught me much, fed me well, and made my time in Uruguay immensely enjoyable. Thank you so very much. Mercedes, it has been a pleasure to know you these last few years and to call you my friend. We won’t see each other as often now that my time at Wash U is drawing to an end, but I do hope that this is the beginning of a lifelong friendship. The graduate student community at Washington University helped to make my graduate career so much more pleasant. Thanks to Martin Battle, Juan Gabriel Gomez Albarello, Tobias Gibson, Chad Haddal, Scott Hendrickson, Rene Lindstaedt, Michael Lynch, Rumel Mahmood, Jason Roberts, Matt Schneider, Marshall Thompson, and Joe Tonon. Special thanks to Ingrid Andersen, Zdravka Brunkova, Ann Collins, Scout Gibson, Frances Henderson, Ana Jacobsen, Stephanie Milton, Celeste Montoya, Yordanka Nedyalkova, Gina Reinhardt, Meg Rincker, Karli Sherwinter, Jen Nicoll Victor, and Jennifer Wistrand for the ladies nights, girl talk, mentoring, and friendship. iii Finally, my most special thanks go to my family. To my parents, Leroy and Cynthia Bell, who have encouraged and supported me from the very beginning. Your love and sacrifices have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. My grandparents, Dan and Hattie Townsend, provided me a home away from home as a young girl, and allowed me to assert my independence. For this I will always be grateful. Thanks to the entire Townsend, Bell, and Duncan clans for your love and support over the years. Thank you to my new extended family: my mother- and father-in-law, Reginald and Linda Hall have been a wonderful and supportive second set of parents. My sister- and brother-in-law, Regina Hall-Ngorima and Reginald Ngorima, and the rest of the Hall family have also been extremely supportive. And my most precious thanks go to my husband, Brian Geoffrey Hall. More than anyone you have provided me with a sense of perspective throughout this process. Your love, strength, and guidance are unequalled and I could not have done this without you. iv In Loving Memory of my Grandfather, Dan Townsend v TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ii List of Tables and Figures viii List of Abbreviations ix Abstract xi Chapter One: Identity Politics and Coalition Possibilities 1 I.

Prensa y política en una semana (5 al 13 enero de 1865). Doctorando: Facundo Di Vincenzo 1 El ataque a Paysandú desde tres diarios de Buenos Aires. Prensa y política en una semana (5 al 13 enero de 1865). Facundo Di Vincenzo La humanidad de la guerra en esta forma recuerda la fábula del carnero y la liebre. -¿En qué forma prefiere usted ser frita? - Es que no quiero ser frita de ningún modo. - Usted elude la cuestión; no se trata de dejar a usted viva, sino de saber la forma en que debe ser frita y comida. Juan Bautista Alberdi (1870)1 Introducción al tema La guerra de la triple alianza, en donde la República Argentina, el Imperio del Brasil y la República Oriental del Uruguay entran en conflicto bélico contra la República del Paraguay desarrollada entre los años 1864 y 1870, es un acontecimiento trascendental para la historia latinoamericana. Tendrá consecuencias morales y éticas pero también económicas y políticas presentes aún en nuestros días. Sensaciones, sentimientos, remordimientos que perduran sumergidos en el devenir de los años y que salen a la luz con cada derrotero de la historia sudamericana. El conflicto, por un lado hace visible el entramado político y económico por el cual estaban atravesados los cuatro países participantes durante la época, por otro, expone de la forma más cruda las influencias y/o intereses de los diferentes sectores de poder local e internacional vinculados con la nueva ideología económica de alcance mundial: El liberalismo.

DOI 10.4025/dialogos.v19i3.1138 La interpretación dominante en Uruguay sobre los orígenes de la Guerra de la Triple Alianza* Juan Manuel Casal ** Resumen. En ausencia de una justificación de la intervención uruguaya en la Guerra del Paraguay, fue un representante de los opositores a la misma, Luis A. de Herrera, quien produjo los primeros estudios significativos. Estos estudios, publicados entre 1908 y 1952, atribuyeron las causas de la guerra a la previa invasión de Uruguay por el Gral. Venancio Flores, con apoyo de Argentina y Brasil, y al enfrentamiento estructural entre Buenos Aires y las provincias argentinas, del cual la campaña contra Paraguay habría sido una instancia más. A partir de mediados del siglo XX, el influyente periódico Marcha de Montevideo adhirió a la interpretación de Herrera y la popularizó—aunque mediada por las tesis y teorías de otros autores—entre el público lector uruguayo.

    339 NOTES 1. Especially B. Currie, “ The Verdict of Quiescent Years: Mr. Hill and the Conflict of Laws”, University of Chicago Law Review, Vol. 28,1961,pp. 258- 295. Currie has repeatedly stated: “we would be better off without choice- of-law rules ”. 2. There are few real “ specialists” dedicated to the general part of private international law. One such specialist is Paul Heinrich Neuhaus, author of Die Grundbegriffe des Internationalen Privatrechts, 2nd ed., J. C. B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), Tübingen 1976. This book is an excellent model of “specialization” with respect to the general part. Other specialists are Gerhard Kegel, author of Internationales Privatrecht, 4th ed., Verlag C. H. Beck, Munich, 1977 and Werner Niederer, whose work Einfürhung in die allgemeinen Lehren des inter­ nationalen Privatrechts, Polygraphischer Verlag A.G., Zürich, 1956, unfortu­ nately has not been updated. Kegel refers to Melchior, Maury and Neuhaus as true specialists in the general part of private international law; G. Kegel, ibid., p. 93. In the Americas, specialists include Werner Goldschmidt and Haroldo Valladäo. 3. The Inter-American Convention on General Rules of Private International Law was signed at Montevideo, Uruguay, on 8 May 1979, during the Second Inter-American Specialized Conference on Private International Law (CIDIP- II), by Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. El Salvador and Mexico signed it at a later date. As of 1 January 1983 it had been ratified by Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay. 4.

Especialista en Medicina Legal. Exprofesor Agregado de la Cátedra, Facultad de Medicina de Montevideo, Uruguay. Perito Médico del Poder Judicial, Uruguay; Miembro de Honor y expresidente de la Sociedad Uruguaya de Historia de la Medicina. Miembro de Número del Instituto Histórico y Geográfico del Uruguay. Mayor Médico (Eq) (R) Ex Jefe del Departamento Médico Legal del Hospital Militar. Resumen Este artículo trata de un antecedente poco conocido en la historia de la sanidad militar oriental. En el juego de intereses hegemónicos de la región sudamericana, cuatro naciones se enfrentaron en la “Guerra del Paraguay” o “de la Triple Alianza” (1865 – 1869). Hubo un prólogo: la invasión del territorio oriental, el sitio, bombardeo y toma de Paysandú, no un enfrentamiento de partidos políticos orientales sino la consecuencia obligada de intereses imperialistas regionales. Y con la caída de Paysandú se decidió el destino del estado paraguayo. La orfandad de un servicio auxiliar del ejército para el socorro médico en Paysandú fue elocuente demostración de la penuria por un lado y la negligencia por otro.

    (Dis)Claiming Mestizofilia: Chicana/os Disarticulating Euromestizaje By Agustín Palacios A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair Professor José Rabasa Professor Nelson Maldonado-Torres Universtiy of California, Berkeley Spring 2012 Copyright by Agustín Palacios, 2012 All Rights Reserved. Abstract (Dis)Claiming Mestizofilia: Chicana/os Disarticulating Euromestizaje by Agustín Palacios Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair This dissertation investigates the development and contradictions of the discourse of mestizaje in its key Mexican ideologues and its revision by Mexican American or Chicana/o intellectuals. Great attention is given to tracing Mexico’s dominant conceptions of racial mixing, from Spanish colonization to Mexico’s post-Revolutionary period. Although mestizaje continues to be a constant point of reference in U.S. Latino/a discourse, not enough attention has been given to how this ideology has been complicit with white supremacy and the exclusion of indigenous people. Mestizofilia, the dominant mestizaje ideology formulated by white and mestizo elites after Mexico’s independence, proposed that racial mixing could be used as a way to “whiten” and homogenize the Mexican population, two characteristics deemed necessary for the creation of a strong national identity conducive to national progress. Mexican intellectuals like Vicente Riva Palacio, Andrés Molina Enríquez, José Vasconcelos and Manuel Gamio proposed the remaking of the Mexican population through state sponsored European immigration, racial mixing for indigenous people, and the implementation of public education as a way to assimilate the population into European culture.
