To begin, I want to thank the Garifuna activists who trusted me to record and tell their personal stories of struggle against injustice. Their accounts have been invaluable to my understanding of the spaces of oppression they straddle. I am grateful to Dr. Joyce M. Jackson, my committee chair, for her support and guidance throughout the years, and for sharing with me her passion for ethnographic fieldwork and appreciation for black culture. I thank Dana Sanders for her readiness and willingness to assist me in organizing my pathway to academic success. I am beholden to Dr. Evelyn Newman Phillips of the Anthropology Department at Central Connecticut State University for her critical discussions with me about Garinagu’s ethnogenesis. I thank my mother for giving me life, the strength of the ancestors, and Ana Suarez for caring. Most of all, I am indebted to my husband Paul Karolczyk, who together with me made the decision to pursue a doctorate degree and face the challenges that come with graduate studies and for introducing me to new ideas. His love, support, and commitment kept me focused. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................................. iii LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................... vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ...................................................................................................... viii ABSTRACT .....................................................................................................................................x CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION .....................................................................................................1 Research Background ....................................................................................................................1 Purpose of Study ............................................................................................................................2 Research Statement .......................................................................................................................4 Chapter Outline .............................................................................................................................6 CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW ........................................................................................13 The Significance of Place ............................................................................................................13 Race and Place .............................................................................................................................26 The Politics of Identity ...............................................................................................................30 Situating Work within Existing Literature ..................................................................................32 CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY ..................................................................................................41 Research Design ..........................................................................................................................41 Theoretical Issues ........................................................................................................................52 Field Experience ..........................................................................................................................59 CHAPTER 4 THE FORMATION OF GARINAGU ORGANIZATIONS ...................................67 Early Struggles and Influences ....................................................................................................67 CONDECOGA’s Origins and Perspectives ................................................................................76 Happy Land and the New Organizations .....................................................................................83 ODECO’s Formation and Practices .............................................................................................96 Collectivism or Individualism?

    CTIF Extra News October 2015 NEWS C T I F INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIRE & RESCUE Extra Deadly Fire Roars through Romanian Nightclub killing at least 27 people From New York Times OCT. 30, 2015 “Fire tore through a nightclub in Romania on Friday night during a rock concert that promised a dazzling pyrotechnic show, killing at least 27 people and spreading confusion and panic throughout a central neighborhood of Bucharest, the capital, The Associated Press reported. At least 180 people were injured in the fire at the Colectiv nightclub, according to The Associated Press”. 1 CTIF Extra News October 2015 CTIF starts project to support the increase of safety in entertainment facilities “Information about the large fires always draws a lot of interest. This is especially true in the case when fire cause casualties what is unfortunately happening too often. According to available data, fire at Bucharest nightclub killed at least 27 people while another 180 were injured after pyrotechnic display sparked blaze during the rock concert. The media report that there were 300 to 400 people in the club when a fireworks display around the stage set nearby objects alights. It is difficult to judge what has really happened but as it seems there was a problem with evacuation routes, number of occupants and also people didn’t know whether the flame was a part of the scenario or not. Collected data and testimonials remind us on similar fires and events that happened previously. One of the first that came to the memory is the Station Night Club fire that happened 12 years ago.

  • Letter from the Government of Honduras on Actions Taken
    Appendix 13 – Letter from the Government of Honduras on actions taken OFFICIAL LETTER No.1077-DGPE/DSM-10 Tegucigalpa, June 4, 2010 Excellency, It is my honor to present my compliments and to say that the purpose of this letter in follow- up to the two notes sent to the international community in April 2010 is to express our desire for genuine understanding of the situation in our country and that the international community be suitably and correctly informed of the efforts of the Government of Honduras to implement a real process of national unity and reconciliation. I should begin by drawing attention to the fact that our president, Mr. Porfirio Lobo Sosa, has set about the task of leading the country with the strength afforded him by the legitimacy of a transparent election extensively observed by the international community, in which the majority of the people of Honduras clearly, lawfully, and unmistakably expressed their will in the search for peace, stability, and restored unity. This electoral process, called by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal under the administration of former President Zelaya Rosales, was preceded by the primary elections in which all legally registered political parties chose their candidates to the National Congress, Municipalities, and the Presidency of the Republic, a process monitored by international observers—including those from the Organization of American States (OAS)—who noted the transparency and success thereof. I am at pains to draw your attention to the fact that Article 51 of the Constitution of Honduras defines the Supreme Electoral Tribunal as an autonomous and independent entity responsible for the convocation, organization, direction, and supervision of electoral processes.

  • List of Cerambycidae from Honduras
    Contribuciones del Zamorano a Latinoamérica en sus Setenta años Simón E. Malo1 Resumen. La contribución más importante del Zamorano a la región ha sido en educación agrícola de Aprender Haciendo. Sus graduados son hoy conocidos por su espirito empresarial. Además, sobresalen como profesores, científicos y en el sector público ha habido cientos de ministros de agricultura. En segundo plano, la institución es conocida por haber traído cientos de especies y variedades superiores de plantas para la industria agrícola. Como antiguo explorador de plantas para el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, Wilson Popenoe tenía la experiencia apropiada para tener la visión de lo que seria importante en el futuro de la región. El mejor ejemplo es quizás la palma africana que con su aceite comestible es hoy un enorme renglón en la exportación de muchos países. Palabras clave: Educación agrícola de Aprender Haciendo, introducción de especies, variedades superiores. Zamorano's Contributions to Latin America in its Seventy Years Abstract. The most significant contribution of Zamorano to the region has been in agricultural education thru learning by doing, and youth professional building, including character formation. Zamorano graduates are today known for their enterprising spirit and passion for doing a job well done. The number of graduates filling key positions in the agricultural industry, teaching and research, as well as the public sector in the region is impressive. The second most important contribution has been the introduction of superior species of plants to the agriculture of the region. As a former plant explorer for the USDA, Wilson Popenoe was ideally qualified for this work based on his experience, contacts, and his vision of what would be important in the future.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Rasheedah Ali (404) 574-6724 [email protected] On the Road with ¡SALUD! Los Angeles, May 16: Actor Danny Glover and Dr Linda Rosenstock, Dean of UCLA’s School of Public Health, welcomed a full house on May 14th at the new Billy Wilder Theater in Los Angeles for the city’s premiere of ¡SALUD! The award-winning feature documentary exploring Cuba’s contribution to global health is distributed by MEDICC (Medical Education Cooperation with Cuba). In her engaging opening remarks, Dr Rosenstock spoke of the film’s importance and presented the evening’s hosts, who in addition to Glover included Gore Vidal, Oliver Stone, Sarah Pillsbury, Andy Spahn, Stephen Rivers, Marjorie Tabankin, and California Assemblywoman Karen Bass. “¡SALUD!”, noted Glover, “calls up the power of imagination to change our lives ourselves, and it speaks to what Dr (Martin Luther) King called the need for a new moral imperative, a set of values to guide us.” Assemblywoman Bass, the film’s Director Connie Field, and Executive Producer Gail Reed joined in a lively post-screening exchange with the audience. Bass, also a MEDICC board member, noted that 15 Californians are among the 90 US medical students now training in Cuba, who have pledged to practice in underserved communities after graduation. “Our job,” she said, “is to help them make good on that promise.” On to DC, New Orleans, and Atlanta… Dr Mirta Roses, Director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), presented ¡SALUD! at PAHO headquarters in Washington, DC on April 26th. According to Dr Roses: “¡SALUD! brings us the story of what one country—a poor one in terms of GDP—has launched in primary health care and the massive training of human resources for health, a program of solidarity and technical cooperation among countries.” She called human resources central to the strategy of strengthening health systems and meeting the Millennium Development Goals.

  • Black Capitalism’
    Opinion The Real Roots of ‘Black Capitalism’ Nixon’s solution for racial ghettos was tax breaks and incentives, not economic justice. By Mehrsa Baradaran March 31, 2019 The tax bill President Trump signed into law in 2017 created an “opportunity zones” program, the details of which will soon be finalized. The program will provide tax cuts to investors to spur development in “economically distressed” areas. Republicans and Democrats stretching back to the Nixon administration have tried ideas like this and failed. These failures are well known, but few know the cynical and racist origins of these programs. The neighborhoods labeled “opportunity zones” are “distressed” because of forced racial segregation backed by federal law — redlining, racial covenants, racist zoning policies and when necessary, bombs and mob violence. These areas were black ghettos. So how did they come to be called “opportunity zones?” The answer lies in “black capitalism,” a forgotten aspect of Richard Nixon’s Southern Strategy. Mr. Nixon's solution for racial ghettos was not economic justice, but tax breaks and incentives. This deft political move allowed him to secure the support of 2 white Southerners and to oppose meaningful economic reforms proposed by black activists. You can see how clever that political diversion was by looking at the reforms that were not carried out. After the Civil Rights Act, black activists and their allies pushed the federal government for race-specific economic redress. The “whites only” signs were gone, but joblessness, dilapidated housing and intractable poverty remained. In 1967, blacks had one-fifth the wealth of white families. ADVERTISEMENT Yet a white majority opposed demands for reparations, integration and even equal resources for schools.
