Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter the Spanish Legend, That
The Spanish in Hawaii: Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter The Spanish legend, that somehow Spain anticipated all other Europeans in its discovery and presence in most every part of the New World, extends even to the Pacific Ocean area. Spain's early activity in Alaska, Canada, Washington, Oregon, and California reinforces the idea that Spain was also the early explorer of the Pacific Islands. The vast Pacific, from its European discovery in Panama by Vasco Nunez de Balboa, until almost the end of the 18th Century, was part of the Spanish overseas empire. Generous Papal recognition of Spain's early discoveries and an attempt to avert an open conflict between Spain and Portugal resulted in a division of the non-Christian world between those Iberian powers. Though north European nations were not in accord and the King of France even suggested that he would like to see the clause in Adam's will giving the Pope such sweeping jurisdiction, Spain was convinced of its exclusive sovereignty over the Pacific Ocean all the way to the Philippine Islands. Spain strengthened both the Papal decree and the treaty signed with Portugal at Tordasillas by observing the niceties of international law. In 1513, Nunez de Balboa waded into the Pacific, banner in hand, and in a single grandiose act of sovereignty claimed the ocean and all of its islands for Spain. It was a majestic moment in time—nearly one third of the world was staked out for exclusive Spanish control by this single imperial act. And Spain was able to parlay this act of sovereignty into the creation of a huge Spanish lake of hundreds of thousands of square miles, a body of water in which no other European nation could sail in peaceful commerce. -

Puerto Rico's Quest for Difference Within the United
1 Liking to Be in America: Puerto Rico’s Quest for Difference within the United States Ángel R. Oquendo* I like to be in America! O.K. by me in America! Ev’rything free in America. For a small fee in America! America , WEST SIDE STORY Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Music by Leonard Bernstein I. The Puerto Rican Cultural Exception When Gabriel García Márquez visited Puerto Rico recently, someone asked him why he had never written about the island. The Colombian Nobel Prize winning novelist smiled and paused for a second before responding. “If I told the truth about Puerto Rico,” he explained, “everyone would say I was making it up.”1 Indeed, the Puerto Rican experience is in many ways too outlandish , even for magical realism. Despite being a territory of the world’s largest exporter of democratic rhetoric, Puerto Rico does not function as a true democracy. Puerto Ricans have absolutely no electoral say with respect to the institutions that enact, execute, and apply the supreme laws of the land.2 * Visiting Professor Boalt Hall, School of L aw (Berkeley); Professor of Law, University of Connecticut School of Law. A.B., M.A., Ph.D., Harvard University; J.D., Yale University. I would like to express my appreciation to Philip Blumberg, Christina Burnett, Maria Clara Dias, Angela Harris, Mark J anis, Richard Kay, Wilson Mendonça, and Shaina Spreng for their critical comments on earlier drafts. 1 Elea Carey, Spark’s Novel Was Worth the Wait COM .

Separated by a Common Language? the Complicated Relationship Between American & British English
Separated by a Common Language? The complicated relationship between American & British English Lynne Murphy University of Sussex Sponsored by the Department of Linguistics, Department of Communication, and Department of English 4:00-6:00 April 16, 2018 Hellems 199 Refreshments will Be served When faced with British English, Americans are apt to Be impressed and are often made a Bit insecure aBout their own linguistic aBilities. When thinKing aBout American English, Britons often express dismissiveness or fear. This has Been going on for nearly 300 years, developing into a complex mythology of British–American linguistic relations. This talK looKs into the current state of the “special relationship” between the two national standards. How did we get to the point that the BBC publishes headlines like “How Americanisms are Killing the English language” while Americans tweet “Everything sounds Better in a British accent”? The answer is in a Broad set of proBlematic Beliefs. We’ll looK at how different the two national Englishes are (and why they’re not more different), why neither has claim to Being older than the other, and why technology isn’t maKing us all speaK or write the same English. About the speaKer: Lynne Murphy is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England. Since 2006, her alter ego Lynneguist has written the Separated by a Common Language blog. There, she reflects on UK–US linguistic differences from the perspective of an American linguist in England, while fighting the good fight against linguistic myths and prejudice. She continues that fight in The Prodigal Tongue: The Love–Hate Relationship between American and British English (Penguin, 2018). -

PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC05 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Ad:ustm2nt (to Environment); Cultural Background; Cultural Differences; Elementary Secondary Education; Hispanic Americans; *Immigrants; *Migration; Migration Patterns; Personality Traits; *Psychology; Puerto Rican Culture; *puerto Ricans; United States History ABSTRACT 'The psychology of the Puerto Rican migrant to the United States mainland is explored. Puerto Ricans have been migrating to the U.S. mainland and returning to Puerto Rico for more than 125 years, and, in fact, approximately 57% of all Puerto Ricans have migrated at one time or another. The migrant experience, including the circular migration experienced by many Puerto Ricans, has been recorded in popular Puerto Rican literature. "Impressionistic" data from informal interviews has confirmed the patterns of migration depicted in literature. Five stages of migration are identified as: (1) the anticipation before migration; (2)tile act of migration; (3) overcompensation in the early period following migration;(4) decompensation after the initial period of euphoria; and (5) eventual adaptation. The transgenerational impacts of migration are traced. Few,if any, Puerto Rican migrants have migrated alone; all exist in the context of Puerto Rican culture. An understanding of the psychology of migration and Puerto Rican culture is essential for the professional working with the Puerto Rican child. (Contains 33 references.)
