  • Race, Nation, and Popular Culture in Cuban New York City and Miami, 1940-1960
    Authentic Assertions, Commercial Concessions: Race, Nation, and Popular Culture in Cuban New York City and Miami, 1940-1960 by Christina D. Abreu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof Associate Professor Richard Turits Associate Professor Yeidy Rivero Associate Professor Anthony P. Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.

  • Five Club Patterns
    Introduction On the 9th October 2014 the international juggling community lost a treasured friend and valued contributor. A creator of patterns, a passionate teacher, and a friendly face to sink a beer with (preferably an ale) or pass an evening playing games with, Aidan touched many around him and will be sorely missed. His online resource for club passing is probably the most extensive ever crafted and the passing patterns he created (most notably extensions of the scrambled V) have spread around the world bringing endless hours of frustration and joy in equal parts to hundreds. A veteran of about 140 Juggling conventions across 3 continents and at least 15 countries, Aidan seemed ever present in the juggling scene. Aidan always seemed happiest when teaching someone something new; whether it be lefty-righty passing, rope tricks or how to form a Suduko. The scores of workshops he has led in fulfilling this passion and the number of people he has coerced into passing over the years really bears testament to the kind of juggler he was and will be remembered for. Aidan began juggling at the age of 18 but didn’t take it that seriously until his early 30’s when, coinciding with the exploding of the internet, Aidan started producing a series of low budget and fairly uninspiring 3 ball trick videos. Quickly learning the error of his ways, Aidan put down the balls forever and progressed to club passing, rapidly becoming a core member of the then thriving Jacksons Lane juggling club in Highgate, London. Having attended a few local conventions, EJC 2002 in Bremen opened his eyes to the international juggling scene and Aidan found his home.

  • Peter Hulme Graham Greene and Cuba: Our Man in Havana
    PETER HULME GRAHAM GREENE AND CUBA: OUR MAN IN HAVANA? Graham Greene’s novel Our Man in Havana was published on October 6, 1958. Seven days later Greene arrived in Havana with Carol Reed to arrange for the filming of the script of the novel, on which they had both been work- ing. Meanwhile, after his defeat of the summer offensive mounted by the Cuban dictator, Fulgencio Batista, in the mountains of eastern Cuba, just south of Bayamo, Fidel Castro had recently taken the military initiative: the day after Greene and Reed’s arrival on the island, Che Guevara reached Las Villas, moving westwards towards Havana. Six weeks later, on January 1, 1959, after Batista had fled the island, Castro and his Cuban Revolution took power. In April 1959 Greene and Reed were back in Havana with a film crew to film Our Man in Havana. The film was released in January 1960. A note at the beginning of the film says that it is “set before the recent revolution.” In terms of timing, Our Man in Havana could therefore hardly be more closely associated with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. But is that association merely accidental, or does it involve any deeper implications? On the fifti- eth anniversary of novel, film, and Revolution, that seems a question worth investigating, not with a view to turning Our Man in Havana into a serious political novel, but rather to exploring the complexities of the genre of com- edy thriller and to bringing back into view some of the local contexts which might be less visible now than they were when the novel was published and the film released.
