On every step of this journey, I have had support from sources too numerous to name, which I seek to acknowledge here, even though I will inevitably fail to list them all. My dissertation research stands on the shoulders of intellectual giants whose work has laid the foundations upon which I build. I am grateful to scholars of transnational families, including Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, Dierdre McKay, Laura Merla, Loretta Baldassar, and many others. In particular, I owe a special debt to Leisy Ábrego’s powerful sociological investigation of the experiences of children and parents in cross-border Salvadoran families. Numerous scholars of language and social life have influenced my thinking as well, but I have been especially inspired by the work of Norma Mendoza Denton, whose skillful weaving together of linguistic analyses and ethnographic insights I have tried to echo here. The questions explored in this dissertation were also inspired by conversations with researchers at a range of national and international scholarly gatherings, including the Conference on Family Life in the Age of Migration and Mobility (Norrköping University, Sweden, 2013), The UC-Wide Immigration Conference on Children, Youth, and Families in Migration (UC Los Angeles, 2013), The Seventh International Gender and Language Association Conference (Saõ Leopoldo, Brazil, 2012), the Center for Language, Interaction and Culture Conference (UC Los Angeles, 2014), and of course many sessions over the years at the annual American Anthropological Association conference. More immediately, this dissertation has been shaped by my wonderful committee members: Hilary Parsons Dick, Marjorie Harness Goodwin, and John W. Du Bois, whose vision and insight are reflected in every chapter. My chair and advisor, Mary Bucholtz, has been an incredible mentor throughout my graduate career; her unflagging support has helped me through each stage of the long process that has brought me to completion of the dissertation. I can only hope to emulate these mentoring skills with my own students in the future. The research presented in this dissertation was made possible through the financial support of several organizations including: U.C. Mexus, the Chicano Studies Institute at UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Barbara’s graduate division. I am also endebted to multi-year support provided through the Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program of the U.S. Department of Education, which allowed me to focus my time and energies more fully on pursuing this research. In addition, this research would not have been possible without my fabulous crew of undergraduate research assistants, who over the years were fundamental in processing, indexing, and transcribing hours of data. To these students – Mayra Alvarado, Daniel Alvarenga, Andy Amaya, Jessica Baumgardner Cortes, Christina Chillin, Douglas Linares, and Yashua Ovando – thank you so much for your invaluable assistance! iv The data collection process was facilitated in great part through three young family research assistants, two with the Martínez family, and one with the Portillo family. A estos jóvenes, que me inspiran siempre con la valentía que tienen para enfrentar retos tan enormes como la migración antes de los 20 años de edad, les agradezco muchísimo por todo su apoyo con mi investigación. I also encountered incredible support through the long and at times difficult process of writing the dissertation. A writing retreat at UC Santa Barbara in Fall 2014, led by the invincible Katie Baillargeon, got me off to a wonderful start and gave me many helpful strategies for overcoming writing blocks and keeping on track. I am extremely grateful to two colleagues and friends who were especially instrumental in supporting my writing: Chandra Russo, who helped me maintain accountability to daily writing goals through a shared spreadsheet and consistent cheerleading, and Kristine Køhler Mortensen, who was the first to read every chapter and who consistently offered insightful feedback, commiseration, and support in bi-monthly Skype calls. In the process of learning and writing about transnational Salvadoran families, I have been incredibly blessed to have found such a large and supportive family of my own. These newfound relatives include compañeros de lucha who I’ve come to know in the trenches of activist work in El Salvador and the United States. I have also benefitted greatly from the companionship and support of academic colleagues within the UC Santa Barbara Linguistics Department and beyond who have provided a nurturing community within which to develop as a scholar. I am thankful to my brothers and sisters-in-law for believing in me no matter what, and for stepping in to fill the spaces left by the absence of other family members. My husband Patrick has been a consistent source of love, encouragement, and laughter: thank you for helping me remember how to find joy in the face of the inequality and injustice my work confronts me with. Finally, I wish to thank my participants, the Martínez and Portillo families, who have welcomed me into their lives and homes with open arms. Querid@s amig@s: gracias por abrirme sus corazones y sus vidas, por dejarme entrar, y por incorporarme como parte de sus familias. Sin su cariño y su confianza, yo no podría haber realizado este estudio. Por eso, yo les debo una deuda enorme, que intento siempre pagar devolviéndoles todo mi cariño y apoyo. Con este tesis, quiero poner mi granito de arena para que haya justicia para la comunidad migrante. ¡Sí se puede! v VITA OF LYNNETTE ARNOLD June 2016 EDUCATION Doctor of Philosophy, Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara, June 2016 Master of Arts, Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara, June 2011 Bachelor of Arts, Women’s Studies (with Honors), Mills College, May 2009 PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT Spring 2015 and Summer 2014, Instructor, Department of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara Summer and Fall 2013, Teaching Assistant, Department of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara Spring 2013, Instructor and Curriculm Developer, School Kids Investigating Language in Life and Society (UC Santa Barbara academic outreach program) Spring 2012, Instructor, Department of Anthropology, Santa Barbara City College PUBLICATIONS 2016 Multi-sited Ethnography and Language in the Study of Migration.

  • Diane Bell, the Ngarrindjeri and the Hindmarsh Island Affair: 'Value-Free'
    Diane Bell, the Ngarrindjeri and the Hindmarsh Island Affair: ‘Value-free’ ethnography Richard Kimber NgaRRiNDJeRi WURRUWARRIN: a world that is, was, and will be (1998). By Diane Bell, M elbourne 1998. Pp. 688.$29.95. It was my pleasure to be present at the launch of NgaRRiNDjeRi WURRUWARRIN in Alice Springs in 1998. Professor Diane Bell and I had had intermittent friendly associa­ tions almost from the commencement of her fieldwork in central Australia over two decades ago. By sheer chance, at the very moment she recognised me in a local coffee shop and reintroduced herself, I was recommending a PhD student to read her Daugh­ ters of the Dreaming (1993 edition). She kindly invited us to what transpired to be a very successful launch. This friendly association of over twenty years, together with my respect for her hard years of work in central Australia, have made it difficult to review the book in question. Some friends might feel that they are obliged to write a glowing tribute, others that they should make an honest attempt to be objective, and to make constructive criticism. I have taken the latter stance, and trust that an honest hard- edged appraisal is preferable to sycophantic approval. The initial appearance and feel of the book is appealing. Even though I found the mix of upper and lower case in the title word NgaRRiNDjeRi irritating, and wondered at the choice of this spelling instead of Narrinyeri, anyone with even the vaguest under­ standing of Ngarrindjeri country would appreciate Muriel Van Der Byl's cover illustra­ tion of a pelican against the background of sun, sand-dunes and water.

  • Indigenous Relationality: Women, Kinship and the Law
    Article Indigenous Relationality: Women, Kinship and the Law Patricia Dudgeon 1,* and Abigail Bray 2 1 School of Indigenous Studies, The University of Western Australia, Crawley WA 6009, Australia 2 Independent Researcher, London N7 8AN, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-86-488-3428 Received: 19 February 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 26 April 2019 Abstract: Strong female governance has always been central to one of the world’s oldest existing culturally diverse, harmonious, sustainable, and democratic societies. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women’s governance of a country twice the size of Europe is based on complex laws which regulate relationships to country, family, community, culture and spirituality. These laws are passed down through generations and describe kinship systems which encompass sophisticated relations to the more-than-human. This article explores Indigenous kinship as an expression of re- lationality, culturally specific and complex Indigenous knowledge systems which are founded on a connection to the land. Although Indigenous Australian women’s kinships have been disrupted through dispossession from the lands they belong to, the forced removal of their children across generations, and the destruction of their culture, community and kinship networks, the survival of Indigenous women’s knowledge systems have supported the restoration of Indigenous relational- ity. The strengthening of Indigenous women’s kinship is explored as a source of social and emo-

  • Thursday 20 July at 12.30Pm, Emerita Professor Diane Bell Will Speak on ‘Post-Factual Scholarship: Lessons on Lying, Hindmarsh Island, and “Secret Women’S Business”’
    Thursday 20 July at 12.30pm, Emerita Professor Diane Bell will speak on ‘Post-factual scholarship: Lessons on lying, Hindmarsh Island, and “secret women’s business”’. This will be held in the Conference Room of the NLA. In these so-called post-factual times, whither scholarship? By way of exploring the proposition that ‘facts matter’ and that our responsibility as scholars is to speak out, I trace the narrative of accusations that Ngarrindjeri women deliberately fabricated a sacred story, one restricted to certain women, to thwart development on Hindmarsh Island in South Australia. That was 1995. The women have been vindicated, the state has apologised, the site is registered and Ngarrindjeri Native Title is set to be handed over in September. It has taken decades, dedication, and determination of many to get this far but the damage that has flowed from the liar label is immense. The legacy lingers for Ngarrindjeri and expert advocates of an unpalatable truth: women have knowledge that is restricted by considerations of age, kinship, ceremony and aptitude. The label ‘secret women’s business’ has a genealogy and I’ll offer comparative material from my work in the central desert in the 1970s and 80s. It’s a long game. The stakes are high. But I know scholarship can and is shifting the narrative. Emerita Professor Bell is a feminist anthropologist who has worked with the Ngarrindjeri for over two decades. In the foreword to the second edition of her award-winning monograph, Ngarrindjeri Wurruwarrin: A world that is, was, and will be, she traces the consolidation of the Ngarrindjeri nation in the post-Hindmarsh era.

Traditional notions of sickness etiology are set in the context of both Christian beliefs and the state's efforts to promulgate modem, 'scientific' understandings, in order to show how sociologically distinguished individuals draw variously at different times and contexts on all three fields of sickness interpretation and management. The thesis begins with a history of Nias relations with the outside world, in order to delineate the genealogy of modem Indonesian attitudes to local culture.

    Contested Coastlines: Diasporas, Trade and Colonial Expansion in Eastern Sulawesi 1680-1905 drs Esther Joy Velthoen This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University, 2002 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. To my parents Rena Westra and Andy Velthoen Abstract In this study, the small-scale, polycentric polities in eastern Sulawesi are the prism through which political processes at the local and regional levels are explored in the period 1680-1905. Such small-scale polities were the most prevalent mode of political and social formation in the Indonesian archipelago and retained a high degree of autonomy up to the imposition of direct Dutch rule in 1905. The three sections of this study trace the position of these polities as they were integrated into overlapping spheres of regional influence that were dominated, but not controlled, by regional political centres. When the Dutch colonial state started to expand its influence over the seas, intervene in local conflict and suppress raiding in the middle of the nineteenth century, the traditional political system in which eastern Sulawesi participated was increasingly defined as a colonial periphery in relation to the remote centre of Batavia. Part one hones in on the local level: because of the small-scale of political units, individual leaders played an important role not only at the local level, but also in relations with external allies and traders. The dynamism of the polycentric structure of east coast polities was driven by the rivalry and co-operation between such individual leaders and by their ability to establish relations with regional centres and traders.

[published in Maurice Bloch, “essays on cultural transmission”] The question: “Where did anthropology go?” was recently asked of me by a psycho-linguist from a famous American university. She was commenting on the fact that she had tried to establish contact with the anthropology department of her institution, hoping that she would find somebody who would contribute to a discussion of her main research interest: the relation of words to concepts.
