Course Syllabus GEOG 6220-102: Seminar in Human Geography – Indigenous Development in Latin America Course Description: This course introduces you to the geographies of development that characterize the state policies and international programming now targeting Indigenous peoples in Latin America. But before we delve into and truly understand those details, we will explore the historical patterns and contemporary processes that have contributed to the socio-economic and political marginalization that distinguishes Indigenous populations in this part of the world. We will also examine the aims and strategies of today’s Indigenous movements that struggle to assert control of the environmental and cultural resources found in their historical and current territories.

  • Spring 2013 Spotlight on Texas Books – Digital Cartridge Only Ballad Of
    Spring 2013 Spotlight on Texas Books – Digital cartridge only Ballad of Gato Guerrero: A Luis Montez Mystery #2 (DT 7047) by Manuel Ramos. Luis Montez, a Denver attorney perennially on the edge, has been getting his life together. So how did he end up in a ditch, his car twisted and smoking, a gun-wielding giant in a cowboy hat coming toward him? The answer: his friend Feliz "Gato" Guerrero. Trouble has always followed Felix, and it's up to Montez, again, to save him. Strong language. Cotton Bowl Days: Growing Up with Dallas and The Cowboys in the 1960s (DT 6401) by John Eisenberg. For a young boy growing up in Dallas in the 1960s, the Cowboys football team was a source of excitement and pride - even though the team was still years away from the celebrity of the Super Bowl era. Eisenberg, a third- generation Dallasite and life-long Cowboys fan, presents a nostalgic look at growing up with his city as it tried to cast off the dark shadow of the Kennedy assassination and with his team, a magnet for civic pride even in defeat. Death Books a Return: A Scrappy Librarian Mystery (DT 7061) by Marion Moore Hill. Juanita Wills, public librarian of Wyndham, Oklahoma, is researching for a local history when she comes across the 1959 unsolved murder of a black high school student on the then all-white high-school track. At first, determined to atone for the shameful failure of the local police to investigate the crime, she quickly discovers that her questions threaten a killer – or killers – still hiding within her beloved community.

    Colorado State University Alumni Oral History Mark Shelstad, Interviewer Manuel Ramos, Narrator October 14, 2016 Mark: Good morning. This is Mark Shelstad, it is October 14th, 2016, and we're delighted to have CSU alum Manuel Ramos here for an oral history interview for the University Archives. Mr. Ramos, could you please share with us some of your background, such as where and when you were born and why you decided to come to CSU? Manuel Ramos: Sure Mark, I'd be happy to. I was born March 6, 1948, down in the small town of Florence, Colorado. Down south on the banks of the Arkansas River. The place itself was a rural country town, 3000 people lived in it. It had a mixed population of Mexican‐Americans, Italians, Eastern Europeans. Most of the men worked in the mines or the steel mill in Pueblo or construction work. The women were pretty much homemakers as they used to call them in those days, or were waitresses, had those kinds of jobs. And all of us, especially the Mexicans, worked in the fields around Florence, Canon City... I remember one summer we went and picked peaches in Palisade, things like that... it was a good place to grow up and that's where I learnt my love for reading and... I have some pretty good memories about Florence. I finished high school in Colorado Springs. My father moved us there when I was about 14 because of his work, he was a construction worker and he got tired of driving back and forth between Florence and Colorado Springs.

  • The Role of Justice in Development: the Data Revolution∗
    The Role of Justice in Development: The Data Revolution∗ Manuel Ramos-Maqueda and Daniel L. Cheny Abstract Efficient, fair, and accessible justice systems promote peace and security, support economic investment and growth, and provide fundamental protections to citizens es- sential for sustainable development. This article summarizes the empirical evidence on the role of justice in economic development, conflict, and citizens' trust in insti- tutions. It then considers the promise of administrative data, machine learning, and randomized controlled trials to enhance the efficiency, access, and quality of justice. We conclude by discussing new avenues for research and the potential for data to improve the functioning of justice systems in the age of COVID-19. Introduction In the early 2000s, the rule of law emerged as a key institution for economic growth in the discipline of economics. Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson (2001) exploit differences in European mortality rates to estimate the effect of institu- tions on economic performance. They find large effects of institutions on income per capita. After controlling for institutions, they find that countries in Africa or closer to the equator do not have lower incomes, suggesting that substan- tial economic gains would come from improving institutions. In \Institutions Rule," Rodrik (2000) argue that institutions, rather than geography or openness to trade, are the key drivers of economic development. This momentum led in- ternational organizations such as The World Bank and the IMF to concentrate on governance and the rule of law as the primary means with which to promote economic prosperity around the world. However, the focus on institutions, and particularly the rule of law, has de- clined ever since (see Figure 1).

    POLITICAL CATHOLICISM IN SPAIN’S SECOND REPUBLIC (1931–1936): THE CONFEDERACIÓN ESPAÑOLA DE DERECHAS AUTÓNOMAS IN MADRID, SEVILLE, AND TOLEDO By SAMUEL M. PIERCE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Samuel M. Pierce 2 For Laura and Abbie Tough 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My advisor, George Esenwein, provided much support and advice as I worked to complete this study. I am grateful for his time, counsel, and occasional prodding, which have helped to improve its quality immeasurably. My original committee members, Tim Rees, Thomas Gallant, Brian Ward and Montserrat Alás-Brún, all contributed significantly to my intellectual development. I thank Peter Bergmann and Robert Zieger for stepping in to replace Professors Gallant and Ward, who left Florida for positions in other departments. Geraldine Nichols stepped in very late to replace Professor Alás-Brún, whose serious illness made it impossible for her to continue in her role. Michael Seidman, Nigel Townson, and Martin Blinkhorn for their helpful discussions. In Spain, I must especially thank Julio Gil Pecharromán whose kind guidance helped me navigate the paths of Spanish archives. José Ramón Montero also took time from his busy schedule to meet with me, and Leandro Alvarez Rey provided helpful guidance in Seville. The research and writing of this study were partially financed by the Fulbright Commission and the University of Florida Department of History. In addition, the Fulbright Commission helped my family find its way in Spain. The staffs of the various archives I consulted provided valuable assistance in accessing key source material.

RUFFIANS AND REVOLUTIONARIES: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE YOUNG LORDS ORGANIZATION IN CHICAGO by Michael R. Gonzales A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2015 ABSTRACT RUFFIANS AND REVOLUTIONARIES: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE YOUNG LORDS MOVEMENT IN CHICAGO by Michael R. Gonzales The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015 Under the Supervision of Amanda I. Seligman, Ph.D. The Young Lords began as a street “gang” in the early 1960s in the western Puerto Rican section of Chicago’s Lincoln Park community area. In late 1968, some of the group’s leaders began to embrace radical politics and the Young Lords changed from a social group into a political organization. By examining the various factors that led to the politicization of the group’s leaders and informed their organizing, this thesis works to provide a better understanding of the Young Lords movement.
