This dissertation argues that a critical mass of politically committed Nicaraguan writers developed an approach to poetry to articulate their revolutionary hopes not in classical Marxist terms, but as a decisive rupture with the present order that might generate social, spiritual, and natural communion. I use the term “volcanic poetics” to refer to this approach to poetry, and my dissertation explores its vicissitudes in the political and artistic engagements of writers and poets who either sympathized with, or were protagonists of, the Sandinista revolution.

    PB#02 OCTOBER 2015 A Portrait of U.S. Children of Central American Origins and their Educational Opportunity BY BRYANT JENSEN JAMES D. BACHMEIER Policy Brief Series EDUCATION & CHILDHOOD A portrait of U.S. children of Central American origins and their educational opportunity BRYANT JENSEN,a JAMES D. BACHMEIERb SUMMARY Educational opportunity—access to high quality schooling—is a critical aspect of social mobility and integration in the United States. This policy brief provides a demographic portrait of children with Central American heritage, with a focus on educational opportunity. We describe educational outcomes as well as some institutional conditions and family circumstances associated with opportunity. Nearly 1.7 million children (ages 0 - 17) of Central American origin lived in the U.S. in 2011. Guatemalan, Salvadoran, and Honduran origins are the most prevalent. Central American families settle throughout the U.S., though California, Texas, and Florida are the most common destination states. Most children of Central American origins (86%) were born in the United States, and most (82%) live in immigrant households (those with one or more foreign-born parents). Among their Latino peers, children of Central American origins (40%) are the most likely to have an undocumented parent. Having an undocumented parent is associated with weaker educational opportunity—e.g., lower parent education, higher poverty, and lower rates of health insurance coverage. Overall, children of Salvadoran, Guatemalan, and Honduran origin have weaker educational opportunity than their peers from the rest of Central America. These differences are associated with pre-existing social inequalities within migrant-sending communities, the selectivity of migrants versus non-migrants in their countries of origin, and structural inequalities in the U.S.

Rosenblum University of New Orleans Working Paper No. 54 June, 2002 University of California-San Diego La Jolla, California 92093-0510 MOVING BEYOND THE POLICY OF NO POLICY: EMIGRATION FROM MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA By Marc R. Rosenblum University of New Orleans [email protected] INCOMPLETE DRAFT: comments very welcome but not yet intended for general circulation! Abstract: Immediately following the 2000-1 inaugurations of Presidents Vicente Fox and George W. Bush, Mexico and the United States entered into intense negotiations aimed at a bilateral guestworker agreement on migration. Although the terror attacks of September, 2001 put these negotiations on hold, the progress which had been made—and the extent to which Mexico set the bilateral agenda—highlight the transnational character of U.S. immigration policy-making. But what do sending-states want when it comes to U.S. immigration policy, and when and how can they influence the process? This paper draws on 90 elite interviews conducted with Mexican, Central American, and Caribbean Basin policy-makers to answer these questions, and discusses Mexico’s increasing engagement in U.S. immigration policy-making since the 1980s. Rosenblum: Beyond the Policy of No Policy - 1 MOVING BEYOND THE POLICY OF NO POLICY: EMIGRATION FROM MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA On September 5, 2001, Presidents Vicente Fox and George W. Bush met in Washington, DC, where the top item on the agenda was signing off on a final framework for negotiating a bilateral immigration accord.

In the 1970’s, demographics showed that “half of all Central American emigrants (those moving into other countries) relocated to other Central American countries, while half moved out of the region” (Woods, 2006). This immigration to other Central American Countries and the United States was caused by class division within Central American countries, such as Nicaragua. This ultimately led to revolutionaries, counterrevolutionaries, insurgencies, and civil warfare. Central Americans made up about 2.9 million of the total 9.7 million foreign-born population in the USA in 2009 (Terrazas, 2011,1). Changes in US laws in 1965 opened the doors to increased immigration, and larger waves of migration to the US began. These different policies came into place when natives of other countries chose to leave their country due to political turmoil, political persecution, natural disasters, and unlivable conditions. Immigration quotas from this policy allowed family reunification and political asylum in the United States. It offered a safe escape from immigrants’ home countries, which were often overwhelmed by political unrest and economic decline.
