Research addressing issues around the development process indicate a strong correlation between the necessity of community participation in planning and implementing development projects if they are to be sustainable. Cernea notes that without local participation, projects are often unsuitable, unwanted, and may be opposed by the communities they are expected to benefit (1991). Researchers caution development planners not to underestimate the power locals have to derail development plans if they feel inclined to do so. Local people may not have much power to influence the design of a project, but they wield a great deal of power when they oppose a project. As Schwartz and Deruyttere note, “…their power is usually more negative than positive; it is the power not to do rather than to do” that is most influential (1996). Consulting with the community is a way of harnessing that power and energy to make certain that locals will support the project rather than actively or passively ensuring its failure (ibid.). Belize has oftentimes fallen short of their sustainable development through community participation goals. The government recognizes the need to ‘do development differently' but does not have the knowledge about development strategies to guide communities through the process effectively. This poster will explore key factors that have acted to facilitate or constrain local participation in community development projects in western Belize. Scott Kuykendall Faculty Mentor: Dr. Garrett Cook The Design of Offerings at Maya Shrines (Anthropology, Forensic Science and Archaeology) The Costumbristas (traditionalists) of Santiago Momostenango, Guatemala follow a religion that mixes Catholic practices and beliefs with ancestral indigenous Mayan religion. They conduct ceremonies which are without a doubt different from one ceremony to the next, yet at the same time they follow similar patterns in design and routine. There is a distinct cultural pattern involved in the ceremonies exampled in the combinations of offerings and the symbols laid out upon the altar. The ceremonies and symbols used are in correlation with particular days in the Mayan Calendar. The Costumbrista culture of Momostango uses incense, spices, herbs, candies, candles, flowers and fruits, each with a particular purpose. The research conducted in this project observed and analyzed numerous ceremonies and documented as well as photographed the techniques used in preparing altars, the process of making offerings through the altar, and the reasoning behind each ingredient used by the Costombrista. By the aid of audio recorded ceremonies I was able to discover and explain the cultural patterning of offerings and of the design features of the altars and ceremonies. Robert Moore Faculty Mentor: Dr. Garrett Cook Mayan Sacred Music and the Spirits (Anthropology, Forensic Science and Archaeology) The religious ceremonies and festival celebrations in Momostenango, Guatemala include live music performances as important parts of the proceedings. This project is based on recordings and interviews of Momostecan musicians involved in these performances. Live music holds an integral place in the annual fiesta for the Patron Saint Santiago of Momostenango every July, and in this project I investigate the specific conventions, forms, and purposes of religious dance-drama music at the fiesta. I look specifically at the formal structure and narrative value of the marimba songs that make up the Deer-Monkeys dance-drama (a performance included in the fiesta), its meaning in the context of the fiesta, and the duties required of the dance-drama musicians. One purpose of this music is to connect the living people with supernatural beings, and because of this it is evaluated differently from popular market music; its success is measured in terms of its religious adequacy. In my project I discuss this different paradigm of musical evaluation and how it affects the contemporary practice of this music tradition. I conclude with ideas about music’s potential to unite living people with perceived supernatural beings and the consequences of this connection. Page 1 of 23 Megan McNerney Faculty Mentor: Dr. Garrett Cook Effects of Formal Education on Indigenous Women in Momostenango (Anthropology, Forensic Science and Archaeology) Within the K’iche’ Maya community of Momostenango, Guatemala, there exists a quiet cultural tension regarding the role of formal education. Many of the older generation express reservations regarding its impact upon the indigenous culture, as it replaces the social networks and customs which have defined their community with those deemed more appropriate by outside entities. This cultural replacement does not occur equitably as it does not affect rural women to the degree that it affects the women in town. Education for rural women comes at a high opportunity cost, as females have particular roles in providing for children and tending agricultural and market interests. Therefore these women attend schools with a decreased frequency and reduced cultural replacement. Cultural replacement has led to generational differences. Women of younger generations have diversified interests, as they seek not only to provide for their families, but for themselves as well. Evidenced by the popularity of women’s empowerment groups, the importance of one’s individual financial stability has become an additional concern for many young women. Education may allow women to become financially stable and ascend the social hierarchy, but the traditional view of women as housekeepers has not diminished, creating tension.

Both are secret of deeply symbolic killings. What’s more, he terrorism’s contends, the same forces behind both Unholy Grail. crimes are now planning something far worse. "It will make 9/11 look prehistoric," Mr. Lévy says. What he learned in investigating the death of Wall Street Journal reporter Pearl, he contends, brought him face to face with the specter of the next 9/11. From the year he spent studying the jihadist alliance in Pakistan that killed Pearl, he has a theory about the nature of "the next 9/11": He believes it is likely to take the shape of a terrorist nuclear attack. I have a theory about Bernard-Henri Lévy and his book about the death of Daniel Pearl. It’s a theory about Mr. Lévy’s theory about Mr. Pearl’s theory, you might say. Mr. Lévy describes his book as "an investigation of the investigation": his investigation of Daniel Pearl’s investigation—and of the official investigation of Mr. Pearl’s death. My theory results, you might say, from an investigation of Mr. Lévy’s investigation of what Daniel Pearl was investigating at the time of his kidnap and murder.

Esta práctica, común en los inicios del cine, desde The Birth of a Nation, no ha parado, sino que ha encontrado otras formas de disimular un estado de permanente segregación racial. Palabras claves: Blackface, Whitewashing, Racismo, Industria Abstract The film industry has always been linked to the construction of social and racial imaginaries, that unfortunately throughout history, have been focused on discrimination, racism and the creation of stereotypes on the minorities.

  • Video Terrorism
    VIDEO TERRORISM 9/11 (2002) This heartfelt documentary was created by award-winning French filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, who simply set out to make a movie about a rookie NYC fireman and ended up filming the tragic event that changed our lives forever. The program includes additional footage and interviews with the heroic firefighters, rescue workers and the Naudet brothers, providing exclusive insight to their extraordinary firsthand experience of the day's events. 9/11: Press for Truth (2006) Based partly on Paul Thompson's book The Terror Timeline, this documentary chronicles the efforts of family members who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attack as they hound powerful officials to uncover the truth. The families succeed in generating an independent investigation, but more questions than answers emerge as the film spotlights secretive politicians, buried news items, government press conferences lacking substance and more. 444 Days to Freedom: What Really Happened in Iran (1997) Relive the dramatic events surrounding the infamous 444-day Iranian hostage crisis when, in 1979, a gang of radical Islamic students demanding the return of the Shah took prisoner Tehran's U.S. embassy staff. Despite the captors' eventual retreat, Jimmy Carter's presidency was brought to ruin and America's spirit was broken. Using rare archival footage, interviews and revealing documents, this film chronicles the hostages' harrowing ordeal. 60 Minutes - In Search of Bin Laden (September 25, 2005) Four years after 9/11, why hasn't Osama bin Laden been caught?

    “WE CAN’T EVEN PLAY OURSELVES”: MIXED-RACE ACTRESSES IN THE EARLY TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES AUGUST 2017 By Valerie M. Lo Dissertation Committee: Robert Perkinson, Chairperson Mari Yoshihara Jonna Eagle Konrad Ng Jonathan Okamura Keywords: Mixed race, Ambiguity, Post-Racial, Color-blind, Film ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project has been a test of my resiliency and grew from my desire to add a small contribution to the ongoing discussion of mixed race representations in film and television. Many people have come into my life in the last several years and encouraged my studies, talked excitedly with me, and subtly (or blatantly) pushed me to continue when I thought the road ahead looked too ominous. In 2005, at San Francisco State University’s Asian American Studies banquet, my Master’s thesis chair, Wei Ming Dariotis, remarked that a PhD was in the stars for me. Those words stayed close to me during my graduate work at the University of Hawai'i. My first teaching assistantship with Isabelle Peluad at San Francisco State University in Asian American Literature showed me exactly what I wanted to immerse myself in for the rest of my life. Graduate courses with Russell Jeung and Madeline Hsu reaffirmed my desire to work within the field of Asian American Studies and continue on to a doctorate program. My coursework in American Studies was rigorous and pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.

  • CIA Holds Young Sons of Captured Al-Qa'eda Chief
    CIA holds young sons of captured al-Qa'eda chief By Olga Craig 12:01AM GMT 09 Mar 2003 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/1424123/CIA- holds-young-sons-of-captured-al-Qaeda-chief.html Two young sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks, are being used by the CIA to force their father to talk. Yousef al-Khalid, nine, and his brother, Abed al-Khalid, seven, were taken into custody in Pakistan last September when intelligence officers raided a flat in Karachi where their father had been hiding. He fled just hours before the raid but his two young sons, along with another senior al-Qa'eda member, were found cowering behind a wardrobe in the apartment. The boys have been held by the Pakistani authorities but this weekend they were flown to America where they will be questioned about their father. Last night CIA interrogators confirmed that the boys were staying at a secret address where they were being encouraged to talk about their father's activities."We are handling them with kid gloves. After all, they are only little children," said one official, "but we need to know as much about their father's recent activities as possible. We have child psychologists on hand at all times and they are given the best of care." Their father, Mohammed, 37, is being interrogated at the Bagram US military base in Afghanistan. He is being held in solitary confinement and subjected to "stress and duress"-style interrogation techniques. He has been told that his sons are being held and he is being encouraged to divulge future attacks against the West and talk about the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden.
