Dreamers and Donald Trump: Anti-Trump Street Art Along the US-Mexico Border Description What tools are at hand for residents living on the US-Mexico border to respond to mainstream news and presidential-driven narratives about immigrants, immigration, and the border region? How do citizen activists living far from the border contend with President Trump’s promises to “build the wall,” enact immigration bans, and deport the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States? How do situated, highly localized pieces of street art engage with new media to become creative and internationally resonant sites of defiance? CARGC Paper 11, “Dreamers and Donald Trump: Anti-Trump Street Art Along the US-Mexico Border,” answers these questions through a textual analysis of street art in the border region. Drawing on her Undergraduate Honors Thesis and fieldwork she conducted at border sites in Texas, California, and Mexico in early 2018, former CARGC Undergraduate Fellow Julia Becker takes stock of the political climate in the US and Mexico, examines Donald Trump’s rhetoric about immigration, and analyzes how street art situated at the border becomes a medium of protest in response to that rhetoric.

The story of the Scotsmen who swarmed across the nar- row body of water which separates Scotland from Ireland, in the seventeenth century, and who came to America in the eighteenth century, in large numbers, is of perennial inter- est. For hundreds of years before the beginning of the seventeenth centurj' the Scot had been going forth con- tinually over Europe in search of adventure and gain.

The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. —Victor Hugo, Les Misérables Author’s Note Much of this book comes from my own memory. For events during which I was not present, I relied on conversations and interviews, many of which are recorded, with members of my family, family friends, neighbors, and associates. I’ve reconstructed some dialogue according to what I personally remember and what others have told me. Where dialogue appears, my intention was to re-create the essence of conversations rather than provide verbatim quotes. I have also relied on legal documents, bank statements, tax returns, private journals, family documents, correspondence, emails, texts, photographs, and other records. For general background, I relied on the New York Times, in particular the investigative article by David Barstow, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner that was published on October 2, 2018; the Washington Post; Vanity Fair; Politico; the TWA Museum website; and Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking. For background on Steeplechase Park, I thank the Coney Island History Project website, Brooklyn Paper, and a May 14, 2018, article on 6sqft.com by Dana Schulz.

  • Mexican Americans As a Paradigm for Contemporary Intra-Group Heterogeneity
    Ethnic and Racial Studies, 2014 Vol. 37, No. 3, 446Á466, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01419870.2013.786111 Mexican Americans as a paradigm for contemporary intra-group heterogeneity Richard Alba, Toma´s R. Jime´nez and Helen B. Marrow (First submission October 2012; First published April 2013) Abstract Racialization and assimilation offer alternative perspectives on the position of immigrant-origin populations in American society. We question the adequacy of either perspective alone in the early twenty- first century, taking Mexican Americans as our case in point. Re-analysing the child sample of the Mexican American Study Project, we uncover substantial heterogeneity marked by vulnerability to racialization at one end but proximity to the mainstream at the other. This heterogeneity reflects important variations in how education, intermarriage, mixed ancestry and geographic mobility have intersected for Mexican immi- grants and their descendants over the twentieth century, and in turn shaped their ethnic identity. Finally, based on US census findings, we give reason to think that internal heterogeneity is increasing in the twenty-first century. Together, these findings suggest that future studies of immigrant adaptation in America must do a better job of accounting for hetero- geneity, not just between but also within immigrant-origin populations. Keywords: assimilation; racialization; incorporation; Mexican Americans; hetero- geneity; education. Downloaded by [171.67.216.22] at 10:40 29 January 2014 Introduction In every immigration era, certain groups are taken as emblematic of the period’s problems and successes. What the Irish were to the second half of the nineteenth century in the USA, the Eastern European Jews and Italians were to the first half of the twentieth.

  • Managing the American Tourist Experience in Ireland: an Emotional Context
    International Journal of Business and Management August, 2008 Managing the American Tourist Experience in Ireland: An Emotional Context Dr Angela Wright School of Business and Humanities Cork Institute of Technology Rossa Avenue Cork. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The special relationship that exists between the United States of America and the island of Ireland has its origins predominantly in emigration. Through several centuries, the interaction generated by familial ties has steadily developed into a strong and lasting bond irrevocably linking both nations. The relationship between the United States of America and Ireland has provided the impetus for a continual flow of traffic across the Atlantic. This movement of people and vessels to and fro, engaged in the varied tasks of commerce, family interaction, and leisure, created a new energy for the tourism industry sector in Ireland which continues to flourish into modern times. This paper presents new findings on the Irish tourism industry, with particular reference to the American tourist’s emotional relationship. The paper seeks to outline the historical framework governing the development of the relationship between the United States and Ireland, and identifies the emotional and connectional factors that bind the two nations. Keywords: American Tourist, Irish Tourism Industry, Motivating Factors to Travel 1. The Contribution of American Tourist to Ireland The American tourist is of particular importance to Irish tourism as they contribute €731 million to the industry. This accounts for approximately 22% of Ireland’s tourism revenue (Fáilte Ireland, 2006). According to tourism industry managers, American tourists love the Irish product, predominantly visit Ireland during the high season, and are the most likely of all tourists to Ireland to disperse into the regions.

  • Advancing Health Equity and Inclusive Growth in Fresno County Advancing Health Equity and Inclusive Growth in Fresno County 2 Summary
    Advancing Health Equity and Inclusive Growth in Fresno County Advancing Health Equity and Inclusive Growth in Fresno County 2 Summary Fresno County is an agricultural powerhouse, yet it struggles with slow economic growth, high unemployment, and an economy dominated by low-wage jobs and few pathways into the middle class. While communities of color account for 68 percent of the population – up from 38 percent in 1980 – the county’s racial inequities persist across all indicators of community health and well-being. These inequities threaten Fresno’s future economic prosperity. The region’s economy could have been $17 billion stronger in 2014 alone if racial gaps in income were eliminated. To build a stronger Fresno, leaders in the private, public, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors must commit to putting all residents on the path to economic security through equity-focused strategies and policies to improve housing quality and affordability, expand transportation access, address environmental hazards, remove barriers, and expand opportunities for low-income communities of color that have historically been and continue to be left behind.

  • For Donald Trump™S Family, an Immigrant™S Tale with 2
    For Donald Trump’s Family, an Immigrant’s Tale With 2 Beginnings By Jason Horowitz – Aug. 21, 2016 In the middle of the night, Friedrich Trump left his house in Kallstadt, a small town spotted with vineyards and a Lutheran church, for a northern port city that served as Germany’s gateway to America. A few days later, on Oct. 7, 1885, Friedrich, then 16 years old, bought a ticket on the S.S. Eider, the start of an adventurous life as a barber, restaurateur, saloonkeeper, hotelier, entrepreneur, gold rush prospector, shipwreck survivor and New York real estate investor. It was an immigrant tale that would make any family proud. But for decades, the Trumps almost never talked about it. Friedrich Trump’s son, Fred, came of age between the World Wars, a period marked by resentment of and even discrimination toward Germans in the United States. More important, he was marketing his properties to the growing Jewish middle class in central Brooklyn and Queens. During his presidential campaign, Fred’s son Donald has occasionally run roughshod over Jewish sensibilities, notably with a post on Twitter that featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash. But for many years, the Trumps went out of their way to avoid having problems with their Jewish friends and customers by burying their German identity. They told anyone who asked that they were Swedish. “He had thought, ‘ Gee , I’m not going to be able to sell these homes if there are all these Jewish people,’” said Donald J. Trump’s cousin John Walter, the Trump family historian, who has worked closely with Fred and Donald.

When Affirmative Action Is White: Italian Americans in the City University of New York, 1976 – Present Liana Kirillova MA Student in the Department of History Southern Illinois University at Carbondale 1 Present day discussion of affirmative action is usually confined to its association with minority groups included in federal racial and ethnic categories. The general public is typically aware of discrimination cases against Blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians because the media and scholarship on affirmative action are dedicated to these particular groups. Only a small share of research is conducted on white ethnics and their efforts to pursue equal opportunity. Despite the general failure of the white ethnic movement, one group was able to succeed on the local level: Italian Americans in New York City. In 1976, the City University of New York (CUNY) unprecedentedly included Italian Americans in its affirmative action policy, providing them with the status of a designated minority.
