  • Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory
    DANGEROUSLY FREE: OUTLAWS AND NATION-MAKING IN LITERATURE OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY by Jenna Hunnef A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Hunnef 2016 Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory Jenna Hunnef Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine how literary representations of outlaws and outlawry have contributed to the shaping of national identity in the United States. I analyze a series of texts set in the former Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma) for traces of what I call “outlaw rhetorics,” that is, the political expression in literature of marginalized realities and competing visions of nationhood. Outlaw rhetorics elicit new ways to think the nation differently—to imagine the nation otherwise; as such, I demonstrate that outlaw narratives are as capable of challenging the nation’s claims to territorial or imaginative title as they are of asserting them. Borrowing from Abenaki scholar Lisa Brooks’s definition of “nation” as “the multifaceted, lived experience of families who gather in particular places,” this dissertation draws an analogous relationship between outlaws and domestic spaces wherein they are both considered simultaneously exempt from and constitutive of civic life. In the same way that the outlaw’s alternately celebrated and marginal status endows him or her with the power to support and eschew the stories a nation tells about itself, so the liminality and centrality of domestic life have proven effective as a means of consolidating and dissenting from the status quo of the nation-state.

  • Hispanic Heritage Month by Jane Runyon
    Name Date Hispanic Heritage Month By Jane Runyon What does it mean to be Hispanic? Does it have to do with the color of a person's skin? Does it have to do with the place where they live? Just who are Hispanic people? The answers to these questions are varied. The word Hispanic has to do with the culture of a people. Hispanic culture takes in more than 20 countries and nationalities. It started with the Spanish who came from Europe in the 1500's. It now includes people of Aztec, Mayan, and Mexican ancestry. Every ten years the United States counts its citizens. This count is called a census. Not only does this census count the people, it also places them into different groups according to their ethnic background. There are white/Caucasians, African-Americans, and Hispanics to name a few. Hispanics are divided into groups by ancestry. There are Indo-Hispanics, Afro-Hispanics, Cuban-Americans, and Mexican-Americans. Those ethnic groups can also be broken down into other groups. Hispanic is a term used by Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and people from other Caribbean islands. They are descended from the Spanish. Latinos trace their families to Central America and South America. Chicanos are people of Mexican ancestry. Today, many of them call themselves Mexican-Americans. Hispanos are descended from the conquistadors who traveled to the southwest part of the United States. It doesn't matter the color of the skin. It doesn't matter where they live. If part of their heritage came from the Spanish, they are Hispanic.

Today, more than 55 million people—almost one-fifth of the U.S. population—are Hispanic, two-thirds of whom are of Mexican origin.1 Latinos in the United States are reaching new heights in educational attain- ment, making significant economic gains, and dramatically changing the political landscape. Within the next two decades, these developments will have profound implications for the United States, Mexico, and the rest of the Americas. As the nature of the Latino diaspora populations has changed, so have the per- spectives in their countries of origin.

  • Analyzing the Use and Function of Mock Spanish in the Picturebook Collection Skippyjon Jones
    MASTER IN ENGLISH LINGUISTICS FACULTY OF ENGLISH PHILOLOGY UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID, SPAIN Analyzing the Use and Function of Mock Spanish in the Picturebook Collection Skippyjon Jones MASTER DISSERTATION Presented by: Alicia Juncos Zori Supervisor: Dr. María Ángeles Martínez Martínez Date: September 2013 i Resumen en Español Las lenguas en contacto entre poblaciones hispanas y americanas han sido notables desde la segunda mitad del siglo dieciocho. La lengua española se convirtió en la más significativa después del inglés, debido al tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), en el que Méjico cedería más de la mitad de su territorio, que comprende la totalidad de lo que hoy son los estados de California, Nevada, Utah, Nuevo México y Texas, y parte de los estados de Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas y Oklahoma. Hoy en día la cultura y lengua hispana sigue teniendo una gran influencia sobre los Estados Unidos, principalmente debido a la inmigración y al número elevado de comunidades hispanas que residen en los Estado Unidos. Estos factores también se han reflejado en la lengua inglesa con la incorporación de préstamos provenientes del español. En la segunda mitad del siglo veinte, hubo una expansión de términos españoles jocosos asociados con la vagancia, la falta de seriedad y la vulgaridad. Desde 1980 hasta los 90 esta forma de uso del español era muy habitual en todo tipo de medios de comunicación con el fin de construir un ambiente cómico y humorístico. Pero en muchos de los casos este uso del español estaba asignando estereotipos negativos a las comunidades hispanas. Esta nueva tipología del español ha sido denominado por Jane Hill (1993a, 1995, 2008) como Mock Spanish o “Español Jocoso”.

    imagine all the La población hispana de Boston people A nivel nacional los hispanos han representado más de la mitad del crecimiento de la población durante la última década. Nunca hubo tantos hispanos viviendo en Boston como hoy en día. Los beneficios para Boston, si bien son muchos para nombrarlos, incluyen una población activa más diversa y productiva, que se encuentra bien establecida en casi todos los sectores y un entorno cultural más rico a nivel social. “imagina a toda la gente” es una serie de publicaciones producida por la Boston Redevelopment Authority (Autoridad para la reurbanización de Boston) para la Oficina del Alcalde de los Nuevos Bostonianos, que brinda un perfil integral de las diversas comunidades inmigrantes de Boston y sus numerosas contribuciones al contexto social, cultural y económico de la ciudad. Celebrar la presencia de nuevos bostonianos es parte de un esfuerzo continuo y nos ayuda a comprender de qué manera ésta le da forma a nuestra ciudad.

  • Hispanos Y/O Latinos En Estados Unidos: La Construcción Social De Una Identidad
    06511/2020SP ISSN 2688-2930 (online) ISSN 2688-2957 (impreso) 1 Hispanos y/o latinos en Estados Unidos: La construcción social de una identidad Cristina Lacomba Harvard University Resumen: El significado de ‘hispano’ y ‘latino’ en Estados Unidos es materia de debate desde el origen de estos términos. Algunas personas que se identifican con estas categorías señalan el origen geográfico como rasgo más significativo, otros la percepción racial tanto interna como externa al grupo, algunos prefieren resaltar las experiencias vividas de opresión y aún otros los componentes culturales comunes. Este estudio se remonta al comienzo de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, cuando se conciben ambas categorías, para entender parte de su significado actual. La población que el censo estadounidense clasifica como hispana/latina se analiza desde los movimientos sociales que se dan durante las décadas de los cincuenta, sesenta y setenta para acabar con la discriminación y conseguir la igualdad legal y representativa en instituciones centrales de los Estados Unidos. Conforme avanza el tiempo y llega al país un mayor número de personas procedentes de Latinoamérica y España, el significado de los términos ‘hispano’ y ‘latino’ adquiere dimensiones diferentes a las iniciales. Sin embargo, estos términos hacen referencia a una identidad que tiene un componente político desde el comienzo, aúna a poblaciones muy distintas y se mantiene en la actualidad.

What vestiges of the colonies created by Conquistadores would they find? What would they say of that riotous preoccupation about Spanish origins, recalling, with a smile, that none of the great leaders brought a wife or family with him? Arthur L. Campa' Arthur Campa, the renowned folklorist who wrote in the 1930s and 1940s, provides a refreshing response to the "preoccupation about Spanish origins" in New Mexico, and should be a key voice in the discourse around the tri -cul- tural trope2 that represents New Mexico today. That tri -cultural image is of the Indian, the Hispano, and the Anglo, and that image manifests itself in public enactments, in tourism publicity, and has penetrated the collective consciousness of the region. The questions that must be asked in this region so recently severed from Mexico, and so long the outpost of an empire of colonized mestizos, are: Why is the mestizo, the mexicano, excluded from that iconic image? Why was the mes- tizo invisible and unheard from the time of the U.S.
