Falcón Invitation to the Scholarly Community 215 Editor’s Note | vii Editor’s Note Through sheer courage and incredible grit this wonderful new volume of the National Political Science Review has been produced. Comprising vitally important research on the intersection of forms of racial blackness, political coalitions, ethnic and pan-ethnic interest politics, solidarity politics, and group consciousness, on the one hand, and regional, organizational, and youth politics framings of new research on political economy and economic justice, on the other, the scholars herein offer contributions to the most critical questions of the day. This scholarship has much to say about the black freedom struggle and about the Trump Administration’s politics of racial-state making through the bodies of racialized immigrants, particularly Afro-Latinos/ Latinos, Asians, Black Ethnics, Afro-Caribbeans, and minoritized religious groups. Empirical data about political affiliations and interests can go a very long way in terms of advancing the struggle of people in this country to lay bare the short and long term effects of this particularly dangerous contemporary political realignment in the presidency. While communities that were vulnerable before face forms of state and vigilante violence and extremism that had been on the decline over the past two generations, the opportunities for mass movements and coordinated electoral campaigns have opened up significantly. Our book reviews offer a range of cutting edge new scholarship in the field on the historiography and political theory of emancipation, antiracist feminist activism in the United Nations, the politics of racial integration in military towns, the study of race as international affairs, revolutionary

  • The Mortara Center for International Studies Walsh School of Foreign Service Georgetown University Annual Report 2017 - 2018 About the Center
    The Mortara Center for International Studies Walsh School of Foreign Service Georgetown University Annual Report 2017 - 2018 About the Center Officially opened in January 2003, the Mortara Center for International Studies was founded through the generosity of the late Mr. Michael P. Mortara, his wife, Mrs. Virginia Mortara, and friends and colleagues. The Mortara family envisioned a center of scholarly inquiry at the School of Foreign Service that would embody the mission of the School and its focus on the intersection of theory and practice in international affairs. Mission Statement The Mortara Center for International Studies seeks to advance schlarship and inform policy by combining the expertise of scholars and experience of international affairs practitioners to illuminate the fundamental forces - political, economic and cultural - that shape international relations. To realize this mission, the Center: • organizes and cosponsors lectures, workshops and conferences • provides support for research and publications • generates communities of research 1 LetterLetter fromfrom thethe DirectorDirector Dear Friends of the Mortara Center, Over the past year, the Mortara Center has con- tinued to promote and energize faculty and student research at the School of Foreign Service. Focusing on pressing global problems from climate change to financial crisis to mitigating violence in post-conflict states, the Center has hosted hundreds of events, con- vened working groups, and supported deep student mentorship experiences through the Mortara Under- graduate Research Fellowship program. For the 2017-2018 annual report, I would like to draw your attention to two exceptional programs, which exemplify the extraordinary work happening at Mortara and the School. The Center was honored to host the launch of the Mortara Distinguished Professor of Diplomacy Madeleine Albright’s book Fascism: A Warning.

  • Call to Action to Restore Housing Bonds in House Tax Reform Bill
    Call to Action to Restore Housing Bonds in House Tax Reform Bill Dear partners in affordable housing, The just-released House Republican tax reform bill, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, H.R. 1, proposes to eliminate tax-exempt private activity bonds (PABs), including both multifamily and single-family Housing Bonds issued after 2017. The bill contradicts all previous reports, from sources both in Congress and within the Administration that suggested the bill would maintain tax-exempt PABs. Utah Housing Corporation and all other state HFAs have utilized tax-exempt PABs to fund mortgage loan programs for lower income first time home buyers. Utah Housing has funded some 70,000 single family mortgages and 10,000 multifamily rental housing mortgages for low income tenants using PABs as the source of capital to purchase or make these loans. During the past few years while interest rates have been at all-time lows, these types of bonds have not provided the large spread in mortgage rate funded with PABs they once offered when interest rates were high. However when interest rates ultimately do rise to “normal” levels, we will all look back and be grateful Congress took the long view and not just the short term outlook to make the tax bill “revenue neutral.” As partners working to strengthen affordable housing in Utah we encourage you to immediately contact the Utah Congressional delegation and ask them to communicate to Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Ranking Member Richard Neal (D-MA) the need to restore tax-exempt private activity Housing Bonds in the tax reform bill, H.R.

  • NCOBPS 2016 Program
    1 2 Dear Conference Attendees and Supporters: On behalf of the leadership of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists (NCOBPS), I welcome you to the 47th Annual Meeting of this beloved association. For nearly 50 years, NCOBPS has been an intellectual home and a vibrant forum for Black political scientists and other scholars who have seen it as our mission to use various forms of political and policy analysis so to enlighten, empower, and to serve Global Black communities. True to the vision of our founders and elders, our mission remains that of a ‘growing organization in the struggle for the liberation of African peoples.’ This mission is no less relevant today than it was nearly 50 years ago given that Global Black communities still confront an unnerving number of barriers to racial, political, and economic justice as intersected by other forms of oppression. The theme of this 47th Annual Meeting is “Black Power, Black Lives: 50 Years After the March Against Fear.” It pays tribute to a heroic activism, rooted in Mississippi soil, which countered white supremacy and demanded the full recognition of African Americans’ humanity and citizenship rights. This local struggle also continues. While you are here in Jackson, Mississippi, one of the activist headquarters and continuing battlefields for human rights equality, enjoy yourself (eat some catfish, listen to some blues music, and see the sights) but of course take full advantage of all of what our brilliant conference organizers and local arrangements committee have provided. We extend our great thanks for their extreme dedication and hard work! We also extend a warm greeting to all of our guests and a heart-felt thanks to all of our co-sponsors and local partners.
