  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jessica Anderson for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on October 28, 2016. Title: What Says Your Heart: Community, Learning, and Education in a Nahua Indigenous Village. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Fina Carpena-Mendez The purpose of this thesis is to understand the experiences that Nahua children, in rural Mexico, have as they attend schools that are primarily influenced by formal Western education in relation to their own ways of learning and knowing. This research took place over the course of three months within a Nahua indigenous community. I completed fieldwork in both the local elementary school and within the community through participant observation and semi- structured interviews with children, parents, and teachers. What I found was that the ways in which the community constructed childhood, knowledge, and learning differed significantly in what they experienced within the classroom. This in turn effected the relationships that were built between the school and the community and the student’s ability to succeed and have meaningful and supportive educational experiences. The experiences that they have are in turn effected by global, national, and local political and economic trends such as the implementation of neoliberalism, and it subsequent effect on educational policies for rural communities in Mexico. This ultimately leads to an education that is colonial in nature, despite efforts of including bilingual intercultural education programs, as the system seeks to colonize the bodies and minds of these students. Thus, it is my conclusion that both community and school must work together in order to create education programs that decolonize this process through the inclusion of programs that re-center their local language, culture, and learning practices.

Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town ABSTRACT Through unfolding, fragmentary memoirs, the disconnected odyssey of Nick Numbers, a rock music critic working in London and LA through the 1970s into the early 1980s, Rock & Roll explores the multiple realities that exist between documentary, documentable fact and supposedly pure fiction. Real people and verifiable occurrences are interwoven with invented characters and situations in a way that blurs any clear distinction between the two. The book also sees how the power of additions such as images and footnotes can add, or perhaps undermine, authority and credibility to a story. Meanwhile, stories connect the twin musical and lyrical strands, black rhythm and blues and the writings of the Beat generation, that somehow merged in the mid-1960s to produce rock music.

  • Climbing out of Poverty One Step at a Time
    Fonkoze Family 2009 annual RepoRt staiRcase to a secuRe FutuRe climbing out of poverty one step at a time theRe is a staiRcase that will take you out of poverty in Haiti, but it is not easy to climb. Fonkoze attempts to meet its clients wherever they happen to be in their struggle out of poverty. Some clients are on the very first step or have not even found the confidence to step onto the staircase. Others are much further along and come into Fonkoze at higher steps on the staircase. Regardless of where our clients start, Fonkoze seeks to alleviate poverty by providing the tools needed to make the climb, and to keep from falling down when inevitable disaster strikes. Fonkoze cannot make the climb for them, but it can accompany clients during their struggle. We believe that microfinance is best exercised as one tool in an overall effort to eliminate poverty. We knew from the beginning that education needed to be made available in tandem with micro- finance loans. We knew that microcredit, without access to other critical financial services like re- mittances from abroad, savings, and currency exchange, was not enough. We have since developed a host of other programs, most recently an expansion of health care partnerships and the introduc- tion of micro-insurance, to truly build an institution on which the poor of Haiti can rely. On each step of the Staircase Out of Poverty, these services are tailored to the unique situation of the client. This report tells the story of how we meet our clients at whatever step they are on with an appropriate mix of services to help them continue to move forward, and how we are fighting to protect our clients from risk.
