For people living in Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Italy, clothing reflected and defined for others who one was socially and culturally. Merchants dressed differently than peasants; Italians dressed differently than the French.1 Clothing, or costume, was seen as a principal signifier of social identity; it marked different social orders within Europe, and it was a vehicle by which Europeans could understand the peoples of foreign cultures. Consequently, Eur- opeans became interested in how people from different regions and social ranks dressed, a fascination that gave rise in the mid-sixteenth century to a new publishing venture and book genre, the costume book (Figure 1).

  • Fragmented Integration and Transnational Networks: a Case Study of Indian Immigration to Italy and Spain Nachatter Singh Garha1* and Angela Paparusso2

Mass immigration from India 08193 Barcelona, Spain to Italy and Spain started in the 1990s, but economic and political environments more Full list of author information is available at the end of the article conducive to the entry and permanent settlement of immigrants have resulted in more rapid growth of the Indian immigrant community in Italy than Spain. Due to the unskilled and irregular nature of Indian immigration and the lack of integration policies for unskilled labour in both countries, the level of integration of Indian immigrants remains unexplored. In this research, we used a qualitative methodology to explore the integration level of Indian immigrants into different spheres of these host societies. We conducted 86 semi-structured interviews with Indian immigrants in seven cities with high concentration of Indian immigrants in both countries over 2016–2017. We found that the level of integration of Indian immigrants into the host societies is fragmented: some segments of the Indian community are integrated into specific spheres of the host societies, while the rest remain excluded. The main reasons for this fragmented integration are the absence of integration policies for unskilled immigrants, Indians’ provisional attitudes towards permanent settlement in these countries, the internal diversity of the Indian immigrant community and frequent international mobility through transnational networks.

  • The Newsletter the Newsletter
    THETHE NEWSLETTERNEWSLETTER DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Number 61 Autumn 2012 GREETINGS FROM THE CHAIR Historical knowledge offers valuable perspectives on the problems and opportunities that emerge constantly in every institution, com- munity, and individual life. We understand the enduring value of historical perspectives in the UNC History Department because we are always talking about past events and people and also drawing on such perspectives to understand our own historical situation. Declining state budget allocations once again dominated our institutional life in 2011-12, but History assures us that other people have faced much worse situations and survived far more difficult challenges. We thus used every opportunity to promote historical education and research over this past year, thereby ensuring that thousands of UNC students had the best possible history classes. Our faculty also continued to make innovative contributions to the national and international historical debates that are always moving forward—even when budgets are shrinking or frozen in place. This Newsletter summarizes the impressive achievements of our faculty, students, and alumni during another active and successful year for UNC historians. Although the intangible value of historical perspectives cannot be simply measured in a quantitative language, the num- bers for 2011-12 show that our faculty published almost twenty edited books and monographs and dozens of articles; and they received numerous prizes for their scholarship and teaching. Our graduate students won more than 40 competitive, external research grants and multiple awards for research papers, articles, or outstanding dissertations. The distinguished alumni of our graduate program excelled in highly diverse fields of academic scholarship and public history, often receiving prizes, fellowships, and new positions that brought honor to UNC as well as to the recipients themselves.

  • Colonialism, the Canon, and the Challenging Spaces Between Martí and Chakrabarty1
    Vol. 12, No. 2, Winter 2015, 42-73 Beyond Renewal? Colonialism, the Canon, and the Challenging Spaces between Martí and Chakrabarty1 Marc A. Hertzman University of Illinois—Urbana-Champaign In his seminal essay “Our America,” José Martí wrote, “The history of America from the Incas to the present must be taught in clear detail and to the letter, even if the Archons of Greece are overlooked. Our Greece must take priority over the Greece which is not ours.”2 Martí’s call to arms, written in the twilight of Spanish Empire and just before the United States would impose its will on the shape and outcome of Cuba’s thirty-year independence struggle, took on new meaning for me last year while teaching in one of the few remaining required core curricula in the United States. To a historian of Latin America, the prospect of narrating “western civilization” from Plato to the present is daunting in its own right; making good on Martí’s exhortation while doing so seems all but impossible. 1 I would like to thank Greg Dawes, José Carlos de la Puente, Jaymie Heilman, Fred Hoxie, Coll Thrush, and the anonymous reviewer for all of their help, insights, and critiques. 2 José Martí, “Nuestra América,” La Revista Ilustrada (New York), 1 January, 1891. English translation at: www.csus.edu/indiv/o/obriene/art111/readings/JoseMartiOurAmerica.rtf (accessed October 15, 2013). Hertzman 43 Reading and teaching the European-U.S. canon from Latin America also forces one to confront the “everyday paradox” famously described by Dipesh Chakrabarty: “We find these [western works] in spite of their inherent ignorance of ‘us,’ eminently useful in understanding our societies.”3 As a white-skinned historian born, raised, and working in the United States, I do not claim the “we” or “us” in the sense that Chakrabarty intended.

Terraciano, Chair This study addresses the enslaved and free people of African descent in colonial Oaxaca between the 1650s and 1820s. The presence of African captives and their descendants in Oaxaca has long been silenced in the historiography of the Valley of Oaxaca, Latin America, and the broader African Diaspora. By cross-referencing notarial, judicial, and Inquisition records with censuses and marriage registers, I reconstruct the populations of free-coloreds and slaves in Antequera and its surrounding regions from 1650 to 1829. My notarial investigation involves an analysis of bills of sale, manumission letters, wills, and property inventories produced between 1650 and 1740. Likewise, I examine civil and criminal cases and Inquisition records to reveal the everyday lives and cross-cultural contact between African descent people and other ethnic groups. Based on these records, I find that enslaved people arrived in Oaxaca from areas across the Atlantic and Pacific worlds, including Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

  • South Asian Diaspora in Spain and Its Representation in Spanish Cinema
    Fronteras y migraciones en ámbito mediterráneo editado por Enric Bou y Julieta Zarco South Asian Diaspora in Spain and its Representation in Spanish Cinema Swagata Basu (Doon University, Dehradun, India) Abstract Spain, traditionally a migrant-sending country, has received a great number of immi- grants since the early 2000s. Migrants from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have formed a small but important South Asian diaspora in Spain that is often perceived as a homogenous group by the Spanish people. Although the number of migrants in this group is comparatively less than the Afri- can, Latin American or East European counterpart, their visibility is much higher in Spanish media (film, television and newspapers). This paper will first look at the trends and patterns of South Asian immigration into Spain. It will argue that South Asian immigrants are unique in their ability to turn their ‘difference’ into tools that help in their survival and integration. Then the paper will discuss the representation of the South Asian migrants in Spanish films. Through the analysis of three films the paper will argue that the interaction between the migrants and the autochthonous plays out in either a framework of multiculturalism or eurocentrism. The failure or success of the interaction and/ or the possibility of integration depends on this: whether the Other is accepted with its differences (multiculturalism) or expected to adopt the culture of the host society (eurocentrism). Summary 1 South Asian Diaspora in Spain (Facts and Figures). – 2 South Asians in Spain, Issues of Integration and Representation. – 3 South Asians Represented in Spanish Immigration Cinema.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Urban Slavery in Colonial Puebla de los Ángeles, 1536-1708 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Pablo M. Sierra 2013 © Copyright by Pablo M. Sierra 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Urban Slavery in Colonial Puebla de los Ángeles, 1536-1708 by Pablo M. Sierra Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Kevin B. Terraciano, Chair This study addresses the emergence, rapid development and gradual decline of chattel slavery in the city of Puebla de los Ángeles during the early and mid-colonial period. The presence and exploitation of African slaves in Puebla has been ignored in the historiography of colonial Mexico (New Spain), Latin America, and the greater African Diaspora. By crossreferencing extant municipal, notarial, parochial and judicial records with Spanish- and Nahuatl-language colonial chronicles, I reconstruct the history of African slaves and their descendants in Puebla from 1536 to 1708. My notarial investigation focuses on bills of slave purchase, letters of manumission, apprentice contracts and loans produced between 1600 and 1700. I find that during the seventeenth century, 20,000 slaves were bought in notarized transactions in the Puebla slave market. The city's large and wealthy Spanish population demanded large retinues of skilled and unskilled slaves to labor as domestics, water carriers, wet nurses, textile workers, etc. The owners of sugar plantations (ingenios) in nearby Izúcar, Cuautla, and the Cuernavaca basin also required large numbers of enslaved workers in the context of extreme Indigenous depopulation.
