It is an etHnography of tHe provisioning of clotHing goods in Equatorial Guinea and it bridges tHe everyday lives of ordinary people with issues related to political economy and power configurations. Based on more tHan twelve montHs of etHnographic fieldwork, mainly localised at Malabo’s principal marketplace but also complementarily carried out in Spain, it describes tHe strategies Guineans engage with in order to generate livelihoods but also to be able to make material statements about tHeir self-wortH in a context of uncertainty and precariousness. THe exploitation of off-shore oil wells in tHe mid-nineties Has provided an injection of resources to a regime tHat Has been able to consolidate its power and an outside-oriented economy. While tHe extraversion strategies of tHe political elite are known and described in tHe political economic analyses of the country’s contemporary situation, studies about How ordinary Guineans deal and engage with tHis extravert system, an intended contribution of tHis tHesis, are practically non-existent. THe protagonists of my etHnography are market women, wHo Have made from clotHing provisioning botH tHeir source of livelihood and also tHeir mechanism for social inclusion and political participation. THe argument begins with a Historical account, showing How rentist capitalism and extraversion strategies are not a recent phenomenon related to oil exploitation but Have a longer trajectory in Equatorial Guinea.

Krogstad Mambo from West Side Story Leonard Bernstein 2 Many thanks to the Elgin Symphony’s education committee for the idea to take this concert on a world tour! It was a unanimous choice: let’s sample orchestral music from the world’s seven continents. Choosing the repertoire for the concert was not as easy as we thought it might be during the conception of this program. How can we narrow down the large quantity of orchestral music from Europe, where the symphony orchestra originated? Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven would all be obvious choices. In a surprising twist we chose a composer from Poland, the home of the brilliant violinist and composer Henryk Wieniawski. We are thrilled to have young violinist Claire Arias-Kim as our soloist for Wieniawski’s Polonaise brilliante No. 2. What repertoire can we choose from the continents with musical traditions that don’t necessarily include traditional western orchestral instruments? What do we do about Antarctica? (We always try to program something that’s just pure fun.) For Africa, we felt it was important to demonstrate the drumming traditions and to highlight the expertise of one of our members, percussionist Michael Folker. It became a concert of interesting connections.

    Uneasy Intimacies: Race, Family, and Property in Santiago de Cuba, 1803-1868 by Adriana Chira A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse E. Hoffnung-Garskof, Co-Chair Professor Rebecca J. Scott, Co-Chair Associate Professor Paulina L. Alberto Professor Emerita Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Jean M. Hébrard, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Professor Martha Jones To Paul ii Acknowledgments One of the great joys and privileges of being a historian is that researching and writing take us through many worlds, past and present, to which we become bound—ethically, intellectually, emotionally. Unfortunately, the acknowledgments section can be just a modest snippet of yearlong experiences and life-long commitments. Archivists and historians in Cuba and Spain offered extremely generous support at a time of severe economic challenges. In Havana, at the National Archive, I was privileged to get to meet and learn from Julio Vargas, Niurbis Ferrer, Jorge Macle, Silvio Facenda, Lindia Vera, and Berta Yaque. In Santiago, my research would not have been possible without the kindness, work, and enthusiasm of Maty Almaguer, Ana Maria Limonta, Yanet Pera Numa, María Antonia Reinoso, and Alfredo Sánchez. The directors of the two Cuban archives, Martha Ferriol, Milagros Villalón, and Zelma Corona, always welcomed me warmly and allowed me to begin my research promptly. My work on Cuba could have never started without my doctoral committee’s support. Rebecca Scott’s tireless commitment to graduate education nourished me every step of the way even when my self-doubts felt crippling.
