    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 8, No. 1, 2013, pp. 179-206 BOOK REVIEWS SECTION Rebecca Adler-Nissen and Ulrik Pram Gad (eds.) (2013). European integration and postcolonial sovereignty games: The EU Overseas Countries and Territories . Abingdon: Routledge. xxx+252pp, ISBN-13: 978-0-415-65727-3 (hbk) £80. ISBN: 13:978-0-203- 07684-2 (ebk). The thrust to independence for the remaining colonies slowly ground to a halt in the last part of the Twentieth century. In consequence there now remain a good number of mostly island territories for which sovereign independence is no longer seen as an option. Twenty five of these have a unique relationship with the European Union (EU) defined by the term ‘Overseas Countries and Territories’ (OCT), eleven of which are British, six French, six Dutch and one Danish. Under the terms of the Overseas Association Decision (OAD) adopted in 2001, the OCT have a special and unique relationship with the EU which provides them with preferential trading arrangements and very modest levels of development assistance, among other benefits. The OAD is now under consideration for revision as of the end of 2013. It and the OCT relationship with the EU is little known in the EU and little discussed in the OCT or within the EU member states to which they are associated. It has equally been ignored by the academic community. This book by Adler-Nissen and Gad is the first comprehensive comparative study of the OCT relationship with a particular focus on the triangular relationship linking together the OCT at one corner, the European Commission at another and the member states to which the OCT are linked at the third.

  • Ploring Food Field Table
    le to Tab eld Fi Explo from ring Food MISSION 2 Exploring Food from Field to Table provides information and activities designed to lead students in exploring how the food they eat is grown, transported, processed, and preserved. Students will: 1. Understand that different plants rely on different climates to grow. 2. Identify countries, oceans, and the equator on a world map. 3. Use a world map to identify regions where specific foods are grown. 4. Explore the agri-food chain from production to consumer, using natural sugar as an example. 5. Conduct a scientific experiment that involves preparing, observing, and comparing the results of four different test solutions over a period of days. 6. Discover how effectively different solutions work to preserve foods. 7. Observe the process of crystallization by which sugar is purified. Curriculum Connections for Grades 4 - 6 ormation T und Inf eaching Backgro THE EVOLUTION OF FOOD Primitive people relied on foods that they could pick, hunt, and fish for their survival. As ancient populations began to depend on planted crops for food, they were faced with the challenge of finding ways to preserve their harvest between seasons. As time went on, they also looked for ways to transport food from one part of the world to another without having it spoil. Today, many foods travel a long way from the field in which they were grown to your table. FOOD AROUND THE WORLD Over the centuries, extensive trade of foods developed between different regions of the world. Methods of food production, preservation, and distribution have evolved over time.

  • Rhetorics of Value: Constituting Worth and Meaning Through Cultural Display
    Rhetorics of Value: Constituting Worth and Meaning through Cultural Display CORINNE A. KRATZ Museum exhibitions are commonly seen as critical sites for the constitution of identity and difference. They provide occasions and resources for representing and reflecting on notions of quality, worth, and other social values and meanings. But how are values and identities shaped and produced through exhibitions? How are exhibitions put to- gether in ways that might communicate particular values and shape various identities? This article begins to consider how ‘‘rhetorics of value’’ are produced through contemporary museum exhibitions by exploring the multilayered, mul- timedia communication involved as exhibitions convey evaluations and interpretations through visual and verbal means and through ‘‘designed space.’’ [exhibitions, museum studies, communication, cultural values, design, multimedia, lighting, exhibit texts] Let’s not just talk about art. Because, finally, the functions of museums as social institutions and the museum’s purpose is not just to develop an appre- varied representations created through exhibitions (Karp ciation of art, but to develop an appreciation of 1991).

  • Citizenship and Labor in the Progressive Era, 1890-1925
    “I HAVE THE EAGLE”: CITIZENSHIP AND LABOR IN THE PROGRESSIVE ERA, 1890-1925 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By: Stephanie Lynn Taylor, M.F.A. Washington, DC August 20, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Stephanie Taylor All Rights Reserved ii “I HAVE THE EAGLE:” CITIZENSHIP AND LABOR IN THE PROGRESSIVE ERA, 1890-1925 Stephanie Lynn Taylor, M.F.A. Thesis Advisor: Joseph A. McCartin, Ph.D. ABSTRACT During the critical years of American industrialization and rising status as a world power, a great struggle unfolded in the United States over workers’ status as citizens and what rights their status entailed. The outcome of this struggle shaped and constrained what workers would achieve in twentieth-century America. Just as imperialism raised the question of whether “the Constitution followed the flag” abroad, industrial conflict in those years raised the question of whether the flag – and the Constitution it symbolized – would follow laboring men and women into workplaces, streets, homes, and interactions with employers and government authorities. This dissertation argues that labor conflicts in this period were frequently fought over the boundaries and content of working-class citizenship. However, by the dawn of the New Deal era, the right to organize had become narrowly defined as a matter of market regulation, not as a matter of constitutional principles. This dissertation draws on the experiences of a wide range of workers to make its argument, including Japanese plantation laborers in Hawaii, agricultural workers along the U.S.-Mexico border, coal miners in Colorado, ore miners in the Midwest, and mill workers in the Northeast.

  • Nnn Plantation Memories, Labor Identities, and the Celebration of Heritage the Case of Hawaii’S Plantation Village
    nnn Plantation Memories, Labor Identities, and the Celebration of Heritage The Case of Hawaii’s Plantation Village Cristiana Bastos n ABSTRACT: Plantation museums and memorials play different roles in coming to terms with a past of racialized violence. In this article, I briefly review the academic literature on plantations, refer to the plantation–race nexus, address the critical and acritical uses of plantation memories, discuss modes of musealizing plantations and memorializing labor, and present a community-based museum structure: Hawaii’s Plantation Village. This museum project is consistent with a multiethnic narrative of Hawai‘i, in that it provides both an overview of the plantation experience and a detailed account of the cultural heritage of each national group recruited for the sugar plantations. By providing a sense of historical belonging, a chronology of arrival, and a materialized represen- tation of a lived experience, this museum plays an active and interactive role in the shaping of a collective memory of the plantation era, selecting the more egalitarian aspects of a parallel coexistence rather than the hierarchies, violence, tensions and land appropriation upon which the plantations rested. n KEYWORDS: Hawai‘i, labor, memory, migration, plantations, race, Portuguese In this article, I discuss the role of plantation museums in confronting, legitimizing, and filtering the racialized violence on which the plantation economy stood. I start with a brief review of the literature on plantation societies, discuss the plantation–race nexus, and highlight the renewed interest in plantations raised by contemporary approaches to the environment, the Anthropo- cene, cropscapes, and nonhuman agencies. Next, I compare different modes of instrumentalizing and displaying the memory of the plantation, some of which are critical of its violence, and some of which are oblivious to it.

  • How the Museum Saw the Motorcar?
    How the Motor Museum Saw the Automobile: Curating the Automobile as Commodity, as Design and as Social History in Germany and Austria in the 20th Century from National Identity to Mobility. Thesis - submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Pál Négyesi School of Museum Studies University of Leicester October 2018 1 Abstract How the motor museum saw the automobile: Curating the automobile as commodity, as design and as social history in Germany and Austria in the 20th century – from national identity to mobility. The automobile has defined the 20th century. It has brought along radical changes in mobility, altered the landscape, transformed communities and everyday life. Although this complex object has been shown in museums for over a century, an in-depth academic study which looks at the different institutions and changing curatorial practices around the automobile has been lacking. This thesis charts the evolution of the motor museum in Germany and Austria. Here the motor museum is being defined as a museum where automobiles are displayed. It includes science, technical, industrial museums, local history museums and company museums. This thesis draws upon the work of Lubar (Lubar&Kingery,1993) and Divall (Divall&Scott,2001) in order to conceptualise the car as a museum object and as an object of material culture. With the help of fifteen case studies it analyses the different type of museums, their development, their curatorial practices and their permanent and temporary exhibitions, in order to understand the different roles the automobile has played (and is playing) in these institutions.

Abstract This thesis deals with Taiwan as a post-colonial nation, with an identity that remains somewhat ambiguous, from both internal and external perspectives. Specifically, in this thesis, the complexities of its Taiwan’s multicultural legacies are explored through the presentation in industrial heritage sites. Industrial heritage in Taiwan is mainly the product of the Japanese colonial period between 1895 and 1945, which spans the first half of the twentieth century. This fifty-year colonial industrialisation is arguably Taiwan’s most influential industrial heritage because it began a rapid process of modernisation that is continuing today. The key to this process is the industrialisation that led to the development of main parts of the island, catalysed new communities and social patterns and structured daily life.
