Abstract The majority share of metropolitan poverty in the United States has shifted from cities to suburbs through the effects of employment losses and the movement of lower-income populations. However, varied histories of suburban development, class and racial/ethnic divisions within and among suburbs, and widening suburban inequality all suggest that understanding suburban poverty requires moving beyond a simplified view of low- income suburbs as a uniform set.

  • Embroidered Patchwork Pillow: Janome America
    Published on Sew4Home Embroidered Patchwork Pillow: Janome America Editor: Liz Johnson Wednesday, 01 April 2015 1:00 It's the classic special touch: adding a little something on top. For instance, pie is great. Pie with whipped cream is awesome. A beautiful blend of fabrics in a simple patchwork pattern is always good. Overlaying that patchwork with embroidery can be great. It's a simple way to make a stunning statement. We chose four prints from the Indelible collection by Art Gallery Fabrics, then incorporated one coordinating solid to bring it all together. The patchwork itself is super simple – just a modified nine-patch but with eight blocks rather than the traditional nine. 1 The back features an easy envelope opening. We added a binding strip accent in the coordinating solid to the overlap panel. The icing on the cake is the dramatic embroidery. It stretches across five of the patchwork blocks. By selecting a large, open design, then stitching it out in just one color, you add texture, dimension and flair without distracting from the background beauty of the fabrics. You'll also notice the embroidery is slightly offset; this heightens the juxtaposition and creates a more interesting look than placing it exactly in the center. 2 We used the amazing Janome Horizon Memory Craft 15000 for both the sewing and embroidery on this project. The machine's built-in design library is fantastic, but that doesn't mean you can't also browse for even more options. This pillow's design came from an embroidery website, which was no problem at all thanks to how easy the MC15000 makes it to bring in and work designs from all types of sources.

    ! ! SECURING OKINAWA FOR MISCEGENATION: A HISTORICAL AND LITERARY DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF AMERASIANS IN OKINAWA, 1945-2000 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Annmaria Mitsuko Shimabuku February 2010 ! © 2010 Annmaria Mitsuko Shimabuku ! SECURING OKINAWA FOR MISCEGENATION: A HISTORICAL AND LITERARY DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF AMERASIANS IN OKIANWA, 1945-2000 Annmaria Mitsuko Shimabuku, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 Through an extensive collection of journalistic, archival, and literary materials, I illustrate the establishment, maintenance, and controversy surrounding miscegenation between U.S. military men and Okinawan women specifically from the standpoint of Amerasians that were born as a result thereof. As Okinawans were exposed to the raw violence of extraterritoriality of the U.S. military—most frequently expressed through the trope of sexual violence—an escape from that violence was quickly configured as a recuperation or increased protection of state sovereignty. In this way, journalists, politicians, and activists have frequently used mixed-blood children as the “evidence” in a juridical model to prove the “fact” of oppression. However, in a declension into biopolitics via three genealogists Nietzsche, Weber, and Foucault, I illustrate the assumptions implicit in this claim. The state is posited as a repressive institution that a political group known as “we” must resist. Here, metaphor is misconceived as the relationship between the state as an external force that exerts violence onto individual bodies that are in turn called to arms in the name of resistance. However, this rests on a causal understanding between the doer and the deed, or a political will that can be realized through sheer tenacity.
