Eight movies carefully chosen to give input to understand and discuss how this topic has been presented and affects native cultures, ethnic mix, and the processes of decolonization. Although direct colonialism has largely ended, the ideology of colonialism has lingered in the identity of people within the general cultural sphere as well as the institutions of political, economic, and social practices.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • IDENTITY and PERSUASION How Nations Remember Their Pasts and Make Their Futures
    IDENTITY AND PERSUASION How Nations Remember Their Pasts and Make Their Futures By CONSUELO CRUZ* DENTITY politics now occupies center stage. It is on explosive dis- Iplay in a wide range of settings, from Africa to the Balkans. And it is more subtly at work in the democracies of the West: NATO leaders must reexamine their own guiding principles in the face of multiple human- itarian disasters brought about by tribal, ethnic, and religious hatreds, while simultaneously dealing with increasingly heterogenous popula- tions at home and ceaseless migrant flows from east and south. It is no surprise, then, that identity should figure prominently in scholarly debates about conflict resolution, migration, citizenship, transnational alliances, democratization, nation and state building, and even globalization. Nor is it a puzzle that long-standing debates about identity should have produced the two clearly defined camps that we know as primordialists and constructivists.1 What is perplexing is the current failure to investigate systematically the complex linkages be- tween identity formation and the expressive practices of political actors. After all, we approach reality rhetorically—that is, with an intent to convince.2 This is why persuasion is the hallmark of effective leader- ship. Short of pure coercion, it is the most direct way to mobilize or paralyze a group. And this is why rhetorical power—recognized as cen- * I would like to thank Peter Hall, Jeffrey Legro, Sheri Berman, and Mehmet Tabak for their in- sightful suggestions on a previous version of this article.

  • Background- Costa Rica1 Costa Rica Is a Small Central American Country
    Background- Costa Rica1 Costa Rica is a small Central American country (about 4.8 million in 2016) that has a strong human rights record and hosts the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR). Since independence in 1838, Costa Rica has experienced only two short lived coups, and not only avoided but helped to resolve the civil wars that engulfed much of Central America in the 1970s. Remarkably, it does not have an army, having abolished it in 1948. As a result of its stability, which earned it the nickname of “Switzerland of Central America”, it has faced only three IACHR cases, one for its formerly harsh defamation laws and two for its restrictions on In Vitro Fertilization. Since its beginnings, Costa Rica has mostly been a peaceful, agricultural country. Although the indigenous population was devastated by Christopher Columbus’ arrival in 1502, the Spanish government largely abandoned the area after realizing it had little precious metal. Most Spanish settlers became small farmers, specializing in coffee, sugar, and bananas and bringing in small numbers of Black Caribbean slaves and Chinese indentured servants to work on the plantations. In 1821, Costa Rica joined the other Central American countries in declaring independence from Spain. Following the collapse of a short-lived attempt to form a united Central America, Costa Rica declared its independence as its own state in 1838, and had minor territorial conflicts with its neighbors throughout the 1800s. Costa Rica faced two brief coups, one in 1917 and one in 1948. In 1917, General Federico Tinco Granados overthrew a president who had been chosen by the legislature after no candidate won a majority in the elections.

  • Chronology of the History of Central America By: Dr
    Chronology of the History of Central America By: Dr. Frank J. Collazo November 26, 2012 140 million years ago: Extending from Mexico to Honduras, the Central American volcanoes produced when the Cocos tectonic plate slipped beneath the Caribbean plate in a process called subduction. Central America experienced frequent volcanic activity at sites including Mexico’s Nevado de Colima, Popocatépetl, and El Chichon, and Costa Rica’s Volcán Poás and Volcán Arenal. 25 million years ago: Central America, a particularly unstable region of the earth’s crust, is on the western edge of the Caribbean plate. Subduction of oceanic crust beneath this edge, beginning in the Miocene Epoch, has lifted the land from the sea. In the earliest stage, a peninsula and archipelago formed. Three million years ago: The scattered islands coalesced to form a true land bridge, or isthmus, linking North and South America. Keeping pace with subduction and uplift have been volcanic eruptions—Central America has at least 14 active volcanoes—and frequent earthquakes. In this century alone, Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, has twice been destroyed by earthquakes. The most recent, in 1972, took 10,000 lives. 5000 BC: Human habitation of Costa Rica dates from at least 5000 BC, but in comparison with the great civilizations of pre-Columbian America the Native Americans of Costa Rica were neither numerous nor highly developed. 1st Millennium: The Maya civilization originated in the highlands of Guatemala before the 1st millennium BC and reached its greatest flowering between AD 300 and 900 in autonomous city- states in what are now northern Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, and Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.
