Summer/Fall 2009 ountthe M S Mount St. Mary’s College, Los Angeles Summer/Fall 2009 Role Models Mount students inspire L.A. youths to go beyond high school Catholic Identity S Gallery Turns 35 S Teaching With Heart 71807 themount.indd 1 7/16/09 4:39:00 PM from the president Dear Reader, s I reflect on our past academic year, I am reminded of how our Apartnerships with other colleges and universities enrich and expand the experiences of our students. Through academic collaboration, co-curricular activities, or mutual institutional support, these relationships broaden the resources we have available. Mount students engaged in research with Mount faculty have benefited from their professors’ relationships with both UCLA and Caltech. Professors Deniz Cizmeciyan-Papazyan and Julia Chang regularly accompany students to UCLA where they utilize both laboratories and equipment. Professor Eric Stemp travels with students to Caltech to conduct experimental research on DNA. Cross-registration between the Mount and both UCLA and American Jewish University is available to our baccalaureate students. One of our mathematics majors recently completed applied statistics at UCLA. American Jewish University students frequently enroll in foreign language courses at Mount St. Mary’s. Mount students have many opportunities to study at partner institutions both at home and abroad. Students may attend the Washington Semester program at American University in Washington, D.C. Our interchange with CSJ sister schools is also an attractive option. In recent years, Mount students have attended St. Catherine University in Minneapolis and The College of Saint Rose in Albany, N.Y. Last year, Mount St. Mary’s hosted a student from Fontbonne University in St. Louis, and this spring, we hosted two students from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia. And through our affiliation with the American Institute for Foreign Study, students have spent a semester abroad studying in Spain, Australia and Korea. Locally, Loyola Marymount partners with the Mount in the Bridging Cultures: U.S. and China program. Together, we bring a visiting scholar from China’s Nanjing University to the U.S. each year to speak to our students about life in China. Recently, the Mount formed a transfer agreement with Santa Monica College to provide a guaranteed pathway to our baccalaureate program as well as to the master’s degree in nursing. A similar agreement has been established with Pasadena City College to help prepare students to transfer into a teacher preparation program. Pasadena City College and Mount St. Mary’s have also collaborated in a joint Title V grant to help improve graduation rates, with a specific focus on Hispanic and first-generation college attendees. Several institutions enlarge our co-curricular life at the College, including UCLA, USC, and Loyola Marymount. We enjoy an intramural sports program with UCLA and campus ministry activities and service projects with LMU. With support from a U.S. Department of Justice grant, the Mount and USC work alongside the nine colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District to help prevent violence against women by designing educational student programming and policy development. These partnerships provide valuable opportunities for learning, and strengthen our bonds with colleagues and students at other institutions, as we strive to enrich the hearts and minds of our students.

  • My Hundred Years of Solitude: an Essay Marcos Villatoro
    My Hundred Years of Solitude: An Essay Marcos Villatoro The pages are yellowed. The spine is broken at least a dozen times. Decades-old, crisscrossed rubber bands hold the book together. They’ve stayed stretched for too long and have dried brittle. I should change them out. But they’ve become part of my art piece, this disintegrating copy of Cien años de soledad. In English, One Hundred Years of Solitude. It’s a paperback copy, the eleventh edition. I keep it in a zip-lock plastic bag and pull it out only after washing my hands. It’s a pitiful thing and the most important book in my library. I’ve never shelved it. It’s on a countertop in my office, always in sight. My talisman. Not that it brings me good fortune; it simply helps me settle into one of my two bloods, the once- hidden one, undiscovered until this book came along. I can’t read this copy anymore. It would crumble into dust. There are at least five other editions spread throughout the house, each in its own gradation of decay. Their spines are more or less intact. Each one taken in succession has fewer notes, fewer needs to write vocabulary in the margins, unlike this first copy, which I ravaged with two ball point pens, red and black. The last copy I recently bought in Colombia, a fiftieth- anniversary hardbound edition with artwork. I’ve yet to read it. I want to read it without a pen, without underlining lines of poignant moments in the story.

    REVIEW OF HUMAN RIGHTS Vol. 3, No. 1, Winter 2017, 1-26 http://eoi.citefactor.org/10.11223/3.1/2 Assemblages of Land Loss and Immigration in Film and Literature about the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands David E. Toohey∗ Abstract Recently many scholars portray identity politics and environmentalism as incompatible, or analyze the two in ways that marginalize immigrants. Assuming that immigrants should have a right to land and a protected environment as well, this article explores how creative media can interact with political theory to explore land, ecology and identity. Literature and film that are relevant to a concept of land and immigration that promotes ecologically sustainable and anti-racist visions are analyzed here to create an assemblage, based on Deleuze and Guattari’s theories. This is done to accomplish three tasks. The first is to disrupt misconceptions of a dichotomy between ecological activism and immigrant rights activism. The second task is to address the connections between ecologies and immigration and diaspora communities while taking into account issues of control over land that have often been important to people who immigrate from Central America and Mexico to the United States. As a third task, the idea of assemblage is modified to integrate Marx’s theory of primitive accumulation and Laclau and Mouffe’s idea of discourses of positive and negative activation in discourse to explore Deleuze and Guattari’s theory through a more specific application to situations of political economy that have been so intertwined with immigration, land, and ecology in Central America, Mexico, and the U.S.

    Photo Diana K. Arreola Vol. 44 No. 8 Published by Acción Latina Abril 24–Mayo 7, 2014 Laura Waxmann El Tecolote he past four weeks have perhaps been the hardest T times that many of Ale- jandro Nieto’s close family and friends will have to experience in their lives. The shocking news of the 28-year-old man’s death at the hands of San Francisco police of- ficers, the storm of media cover- age and confusion that followed, as well as the accusations and lack of information revealed by those responsible, have led many com- munity members to denounce police brutality and injustices in the legal system. On April 21, a group consist- ing of those who knew Nieto and many who didn’t, participated in the first of what they said will be monthly memorial gatherings to “demand justice.” Burritos in hand, they trekked from Precita Park up to the west side of Bernal Hill, where the young man was gunned down just a month ear- lier—Nieto is said to have been eating a burrito at this spot before being shot at least 10 times by San Francisco Police officers on the evening of March 21. “How many people who were born and raised in the Mission or in Bernal, had one of their very first kisses on this hill? This place was traditionally called ‘Lover’s Lane.” This is what they called it, because everybody came out here to have their first romance,” said Adriana Camarena, a law con- sultant and literary writer. “Alex loved this place— he was a lover, and that’s why he would come up here, to see this beautiful view and sunset.” The grief and anger over what Nieto’s family believes to have been an unjustified shooting has been directed into a community movement demanding justice.

  • La Salvadoreñidad De Romilia Chacón En Las Novelas Negras De Marcos Mcpeek Villatoro
    Revista Iberoamericana, Vol. LXXVI, Núm. 231, Abril-Junio 2010, 425-442 HERIDAS ABIERTAS DE AMÉRICA CENTRAL: LA SALVADOREÑIDAD DE ROMILIA CHACÓN EN LAS NOVELAS NEGRAS DE MARCOS MCPEEK VILLATORO POR ANA PATRICIA RODRÍGUEZ University of Maryland, College Park Caminé como si no tuviera un lugar aquí. Yo era una de dos o tres mujeres en el área. Tal vez por eso vacilé en tomar mi posición –que era la posición principal– en la escena del crimen. Romilia Chacón, Home Killings 51 En las últimas décadas del siglo XX y al inicio del XXI, cuando la población latina aumenta rápidamente en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, escritores de herencia hispana se dan a conocer por medio de una vasta y diversa producción cultural que explora y explota representaciones convencionales de la cultura latina en los EE.UU. Como explica el crítico literario Ralph E. Rodríguez en su libro Brown Gumshoes: Detective Fiction and the Search for Chicana/o Identity (2005), algunos escritores chicanos y latinos se apropian de la novela negra o novela de crimen para hacer indagaciones importantes sobre problemáticas sociales, culturales e identitarias. La (des)construcción de identidades e imaginarios sociales, la elaboración de historias ofi ciales y extraofi ciales y la confi guración simbólica y real de comunidades locales y globales, así como la imposición de políticas migratorias internacionales y el despliegue de la violencia y la criminalidad transnacional, fi guran como temas sobresalientes de la novela negra tal y como es retomada por algunos escritores latinos. Yendo más allá de un ejercicio intelectual y de un juego de prestidigitación, escritores latinos/as como Rolando Hinojosa, Rudolfo Anaya, Lucha Corpi, Michael Nava, Alicia Gaspar de Alba y Marcos McPeek Villatoro, entre otros, usan el género de la novela negra para poner en tela de juicio las instituciones autoritarias, los valores normativos y las condiciones socioeconómicas y políticas en los cuales origina la criminalización de los latinos en los EE.UU.
