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.

  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

  • Crafting Colombianidad: Race, Citizenship and the Localization of Policy in Philadelphia
    CRAFTING COLOMBIANIDAD: RACE, CITIZENSHIP AND THE LOCALIZATION OF POLICY IN PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Diane R. Garbow July 2016 Examining Committee Members: Judith Goode, Advisory Chair, Department of Anthropology Naomi Schiller, Department of Anthropology Melissa Gilbert, Department of Geography and Urban Studies Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas, External Member, City University of New York © Copyright 2016 by Diane R. Garbow All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT In contrast to the municipalities across the United States that restrict migration and criminalize the presence of immigrants, Philadelphia is actively seeking to attract immigrants as a strategy to reverse the city’s limited economic and political importance caused by decades of deindustrialization and population loss. In 2010, the population of Philadelphia increased for the first time in six decades. This achievement, widely celebrated by the local government and in the press, was only made possible through increased immigration. This dissertation examines how efforts to attract migrants, through the creation of localized policy and institutions that facilitate incorporation, transform assertions of citizenship and the dynamics of race for Colombian migrants. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Colombians’ articulations of citizenship, and the ways they extend beyond juridical and legal rights, are enabled and constrained under new regimes of localized policy. In the dissertation, I examine citizenship as a set of performances and practices that occur in quotidian tasks that seek to establish a sense of belonging. Without a complex understanding of the effects of local migration policy, and how they differ from the effects of federal policy, we fail to grasp how Philadelphia’s promotion of migration has unstable and unequal effects for differentially situated actors.

  • Carta De Peticion De La Cumbre
    The Honorable U.S. Senator Marco Rubio The Honorable U.S. Senator Rick Scott 201 South Orange Avenue, Suite 350 716 Hart Senate Office Bldg. Orlando, FL 32801 Washington, DC 20510 April 28, 2021 Re: We Need You to Co-Sponsor the SECURE Act Dear Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, We, the undersigned organizations and Venezuelan, business and faith leaders, media personalities and members of other TPS communities from Haiti and Central America, are writing to urge you to co-sponsor the SECURE Act, which would provide permanent protections to TPS holders from 12 countries, including Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. We held a national summit on Saturday April 17, 2021 to support the SECURE Act, which was introduced by Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. It needs at least one Republican co-sponsor and the support of 10 GOP senators to become law. The average TPS holder has been in the United States for more than 20 years, contributing to the country’s economy and helping rebuild and recover from the pandemic. Many of them are mixed citizen/immigrant families who have purchased homes and opened businesses, paid taxes, attended schools and places of worship. Despite being an integral part of our communities, TPS holders live in a constant state of uncertainty, needing to reapply to the program every 6 to 18 months and pay substantial fees. It is time to end the uncertainty and make these protections permanent so that families and states like Florida can move forward. The designation of TPS for Venezuela brings long-awaited relief, but it is a temporary reprieve.

    The Changing Face of the Empire State: Latinos, Portuguese and Brazilians in Upstate New York Part of an ongoing series of briefs prepared by the New York State Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force Hon. Sheldon Silver, Speaker Hon. Peter M. Rivera, Chair Prepared by Michael Fondacaro Edited by Guillermo A. Martinez April 2006 Preface Today, the headlines that once declared our rise to being the largest ethnic minority in the nation have been replaced with headlines proclaiming that the “Sleeping Giant” has awoken. Reactionary immigration policies have prompted diligent action from our communities that have in turn placed millions of people in protest marches across the nation. A new civil rights movement has been born. The work of the New York State Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force is fueled by such passionate demands for justice and fairness. It is clearly obvious that no wall, no army, no policy will reverse the critical mass that has already been reached with the present growth of the Latino community throughout this nation. Every 2.5 seconds, there is another Latino in the United States; this mostly through births from the children of first generation immigrants. We indeed are the future of this nation. Inclusive, practical and fair policies that embrace our growing communities will lay the groundwork for a prosperous America. Nothing short of this will suffice. This reality should be embraced by policy makers and elected officials across New York State because the growth mentioned above is dynamic especially here in our State. This publication, The Changing Face of the Empire State: Latinos, Portuguese and Brazilians in Upstate New York, clearly outlines the demographic changes impacting New York and briefly highlights some issues that need more government attention, especially if Upstate economies are to grow.

  • CULTURE Hello and Welcome Back to Interpreterprep.Com We Are Going
    CULTURE Hello and welcome back to InterpreterPrep.com We are going to be talking about culture in this presentation. Culture can be defined as a: Set of values, beliefs and assumptions that are used by an individual to interact with the world. Through culture an individual has a framework of how the world works, what is important to them and also determines the way they view illness; what causes illness and what cures it. An individual's culture determines their conduct. Each individual develops in a unique way within that framework that their culture provides so it is not possible to stereotype. Doing so is a mistake. So if culture determines an individual's conduct (and language) and these differ from the dominant culture's language and behavior that may cause certain cultural conflicts. In dominant culture in the U.S., many people have been raised with the concept that you treat others as you would like them to treat you (with respect and justice), a concept that has been termed the “golden rule”. African Americans are the largest racial minority group. Many African Americans reflect cultural roots including African healing, medicine of the Civil War South, European medical folklore, West Indian voodoo religion and other belief systems including Christianity. There are 5 major Asian populations in the U.S.: Chinese (includes Taiwan and Hong Kong), Korean, Japanese, Filipino and Southeast Asian (which includes people from Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand). According to Wikipedia: Hispanic and Latino Americans (Spanish: Latinos estadounidenses) refers to an ethnolinguistic group of citizens of the United States with origins in the countries of Latin America or the Iberian peninsula.
