First, I would like to dedicate this to my great grandfather, Jerome Head, a surgeon, published author, and painter. Although we never had the opportunity to meet on this earth, you passed along your works of literature and art. Gleaned from your manuscript entitled A Search for Solomon, ¨As is so often the way with quests, whether they be for fish or buried cities or mountain peaks or even for money or any other goal that one sets himself in life, the rewards are usually incidental to the journeying rather than in the end itself…I have come to enjoy the journeying.” I consider this project as a quest of discovery, rediscovery, and delightful unexpected turns. I would like mention one of Jerome’s six sons, my grandfather, Charles Rollin Head, a farmer by trade and an intellectual at heart. I remember your Chevy pickup truck filled with farm supplies rattling under the backseat and a tape cassette playing Mozart’s piano sonata No. 16. This old vehicle metaphorically carried a hard work ethic together with an artistic sensibility.

  • EXPLAINING POPULIST PARTY ADAPTATION in LATIN AMERICA Environmental and Organizational Determinants of Party Change in Argentina, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela
    ARTICLE 10.1177/0010414003256112COMPARATIVEBurgess, Levitsky POLITICAL / POPULIST STUDIES PARTY LATIN / October AMERICA 2003 EXPLAINING POPULIST PARTY ADAPTATION IN LATIN AMERICA Environmental and Organizational Determinants of Party Change in Argentina, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela KATRINA BURGESS Syracuse University STEVEN LEVITSKY Harvard University This article uses a two-level framework to explain variation in Latin American populist parties’ responses to the neoliberal challenge of the 1980s and 1990s. First, it examines the incentives for adaptation, focusing on the electoral and economic environments in which parties operated. Sec- ond, it examines parties’organizational capacity to adapt, focusing on leadership renovation and the accountability of office-holding leaders to unions and party authorities. This framework is applied to four cases: the Argentine Justicialista Party (PJ), the Mexican Institutional Revolu- tionary Party (PRI), the Peruvian APRA party, and Venezuelan Democratic Action (AD). In Argentina, the combination of strong incentives and substantial adaptive capacity resulted in radical programmatic change and electoral success. In Mexico, where the PRI had high adaptive capacity but faced somewhat weaker external incentives, programmatic change was slower but nevertheless substantial, and the party survived as a major political force. In Peru, where APRA had some capacity but little incentive to adapt, and in Venezuela, where AD had neither a strong incentive nor the capacity to adapt, populist parties achieved little programmatic change and suf- fered steep electoral decline. Keywords: Argentina; Mexico; Peru; Venezuela; populist parties; party change AUTHORS’NOTE: An earlier draft of this article was delivered at the 2001 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association in Washington, DC, September 6-8, 2001.

  • Exile and Repatriation in the Barrios: the Great Depression in La Prensa and La Opinión, 1930-1932
    Camino Real 7: 10. (2015): 93-108 Exile and Repatriation in the Barrios: The Great Depression in La Prensa and La Opinión, 1930-1932 NANCY A. AGUIRRE Abstract During the Great Depression, La Prensa and La Opinión were two of the top-selling Spanish-language newspapers in the United States. These publications, established by Porfirista exile Ignacio E. Lozano, served the Mexican immigrant community, known as el México de afuera, by reporting news from Mexico and the United States, and by encouraging charitable work during the economic crisis. More importantly, these newspapers published news and commentary related to the repatriation of approximately one million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans during the 1930s, a policy enacted by the U.S. government. This essay examines the reactions of La Prensa and La Opinión to repatriation, and the important perspective they provide on forced displacement from both sides of the U.S./Mexico border. Lozano and his staff were political exiles, banished from Mexico for criticizing the country’s revolutionary regime. Consequently, their political situation in Mexico and the fear of deportation influenced their non-combative reactions to repatriation. Nonetheless, Lozano and his colleagues considered themselves opinion leaders in the Mexican barrios, and they helped barrio residents by promoting charity work. They also maintained a sense of the optimism of the 1920s by publishing columns on sports, Hollywood, and popular Nancy Aguirre, Assistant Professor of History at The Citadel. She has published work on the exile newspaperLa Prensa and its implications on politics and gender in the U.S./Mexico borderlands. Aguirre, N. A.

  • La Prensa and Liberalism in Argentina, 1930-19461 Jorge Nállim University of Manitoba
    An Unbroken Loyalty in Turbulent Times: La Prensa and Liberalism in Argentina, 1930-19461 JORGE NÁLLIM University of Manitoba In recent years, a growing body of scholarship has revised one of the most controversial periods in Argentine history: the sixteen years between the mi- litary coup of September 1930 and the presidential election of Juan Perón in 1946. These years have been traditionally interpreted as a transition period, a “prelude” to the emergence of Peronism, characterized by the decadence of the nineteenth-century liberal republic in a context of political and ideological crisis and economic and social transformation. While acknowledging some of those features, new studies emphasize the blurred political and ideological boundaries of the main political and social actors and locate them within the broader histo- rical framework of the interwar years. For example, they show that the Radical and Socialist parties and the conservative groups that gathered in the ruling Concordancia coalition were deeply divided and far from being ideologically homogeneous, and that varied positions on state economic intervention, free trade, and industrialization generated both sharp intra-party differences as well as cross-party coincidences.2 This new historiography offers a particularly fruitful context to explore one of the most important national newspapers in this period, La Prensa. Founded in 1869 by José C. Paz in the city of Buenos Aires, La Prensa eventually achieved a large national circulation and a reputation as a “serious press,” which made it widely accepted as a reliable source of information and a frequent reference in congressional debates. Firmly controlled by the Paz family, the newspaper and its owners prospered during Argentina’s elitist liberal republic which lasted [email protected] E.I.A.L., Vol.

The park was created in 1970 after residents in Barrio Logan participated in a “takeover” of land that was being prepared for a substation of the California Highway Patrol. Barrio Logan the second largest barrio on the West Coast until national and state transportation and urban renewal public policies, of the 1950’s and 1960’s, relocated thousands of residents from their self-contained neighborhood to create Interstate 5, to rezone the area from residential to light industrial, and to build the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge.

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE The UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center (CSRC) was founded in 1969 with a commitment to foster multi-disciplinary research as part of the overall mission of the university. It is one of four ethnic studies centers within the Institute of American Cultures (IAC), which reports to the UCLA Office of the Chancellor. The CSRC is also a co-founder and serves as the official archive of the Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR, est. 1983), a consortium of Latino research centers that now includes twenty-five institutions dedicated to increasing the number of scholars and intellectual leaders conducting Latino-focused research. The CSRC houses a library and special collections archive, an academic press, externally-funded research projects, community-based partnerships, competitive grant and fellowship programs, and several gift funds. It maintains a public programs calendar on campus and at local, national, and international venues. The CSRC also maintains strategic research partnerships with UCLA schools, departments, and research centers, as well as with major museums across the U.S. The CSRC holds six (6) positions for faculty that are appointed in academic departments. These appointments expand the CSRC’s research capacity as well as the curriculum in Chicana/o and Latina/o studies across UCLA.
