    Denying Genocide: “America’s” Mythology of Nation, The Alamo, and the Historiography of Denial by Robert Anthony Soza 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 Patricia Penn Hilden, Chair Professor Ula Taylor Professor José David Saldívar Professor Paul Thomas Fall 2010 Denying Genocide: “America’s” Mythology of Nation, The Alamo, and the Historiography of Denial © 2010 by Robert Anthony Soza Soza 1 Abstract Denying Genocide: “America’s” Mythology of Nation, The Alamo, and the Historiography of Denial by Robert Anthony Soza Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Patricia Penn Hilden, Chair History, the adage goes, is written by the victors. As a result, history represents the values, ideologies, and most importantly for this dissertation, the remembrances of the victorious. Their remembrances never remain ethereal or disembodied; they become the object lessons about the past for those living in the present. And these object lessons, the lessons of history, become the narratives and locations that transmit a nation’s idealized values and origin stories. It is in this confluence of remembrances, object lessons, values and origin stories that this dissertation examines in the Alamo. The Alamo represents a consummate site of memory for the United States. As a cultural narrative it persists from a mid-nineteenth century battlefield through the present day as a cinematic narrative. The Alamo is one of the historical watershed moments of the Westward expansion. However, the tales of the victors (ironically, in this case, the victors at the Alamo are the Euro- Americans who died in the battle) transmit values, lessons and stories steeped in narratives of denial.

Ensor South Sudanese Diaspora Children Chuol1 turned 18 in June 2011, just 1 month before the independence of South Sudan, his native country, on 9th July. His 18th birthday signified Chuol’s legal transition into adulthood in the United States where he now lives.

  • Diverse Streams: African Migration to the United States
    Diverse streams: AfricAn MigrAtion to the uniteD stAtes Randy Capps KRisten MCCabe MiChael Fix A project of the MigrAtion policy institute’s nAtionAl center on immigrAnt integrAtion policy NATIONAL CENTER ON IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION POLICY DIVERSE STREAMS: BLACK AFRICAN MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES By Randy Capps, Kristen McCabe, and Michael Fix April 2012 Acknowledgments This paper is the first in a series of papers to be released by the Migration Policy Institute’s National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy focused on young children of Black immigrants in the United States. The series, along with a capstone volume to be released in spring 2012, flow from an understanding that despite the population’s rapid growth, children in Black immigrant families remain largely neglected by the research literature. Two companion papers to this one explore Caribbean flows to the United States, as well as patterns of integration and well-being among Black children of immigrants and their families. Papers to be subsequently released will address the health, education, and other domains influencing the development and well-being of young children of Black immigrants. Core support for the project is provided by the Foundation for Child Development. An earlier draft of this paper was developed for Pilot Projects on Transatlantic Methods for Handling Global Challenges in the European Union and the United States, a proj- ect funded by the European Commission and conducted jointly by the Migration Policy Institute and the European University Institute. The authors would like to thank Kevin Thomas at the Pennsylvania State University Population Research Institute for providing feedback on an earlier draft of this paper.

Among these immigrants are African immigrants. The purpose of this research is to conduct a preliminary exploratory study on what the African immigrants experience (specifically, Anglophone African immigrants) is at the workplace - a demographic that has been historically understudied in the social science literature. In order to understand how African immigrant professionals adjust to their newfound reality, a historical overview of African immigration to the United States shall be provided.
