  • 2014 Conference Abstracts
    WSSA Conference 2014 Albuquerque, New Mexico Abstracts AFRICAN AND AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES Stephen Brown Brandman University Panel 1 A Look Back "A Short History and Culture of Afro-Turks" George H. Junne, Jr., University of Northern Colorado This paper will focus on history and current state of a group beginning to self-recognize as Afro-Turks. It has only been in recent years that they have begun to organize and make the public aware of their existence, although their ancestors have been in the Ottoman Empire/Turkey for hundreds of years. Some of their family histories can be traced back to African slaves of the Ottomans and more recent immigrants to the Republic of Turkey. Even in recent times they have been classed with the Roma and have had to live in Roma areas. At the end of the Ottoman Empire, many of those Africans were relocated to Izmir, in the southern part of Turkey, to work in the cotton fields and other areas while others arrived free in the 1920s through a population exchange with Crete. For the most part, they have Turkish names, speak Turkish and have adopted Turkish traditions, but many are attempting to get in touch with their roots.? Their origins are in Egypt, Sudan, Kenya and Niger. This research will present the history of these people whose freedom came to some only in the 20th century, at the end of the Ottoman Empire.

Tait, Arkansas State University African Americans were some of the first to use the medium of photography to record their encounters in Liberia.

    New West Indian Guide 92 (2018) 80–107 nwig brill.com/nwig Bookshelf 2017 Richard Price and Sally Price Anse Chaudière, 97217 Anses d’Arlet, Martinique [email protected] Once again, in order to provide a window on the current state of Caribbean book publishing for nwig readers and contributors (as well as the authors of books reviewed in the journal), we offer a brief analysis, based on seven of the journal’s most recent issues (volume 89–3&4 [2015] through volume 92–3&4 [2018, not yet published]). Note that because we aim at providing full reviews of more than 50 nonfiction books per issue, this rundown does not include many other books that were published during the relevant period. During this three-and-a-half-year run of issues, we published (or will pub- lish) full reviews of 373 books from 97 publishers. Thirteen publishers pro- vided nine or more titles, accounting for 52 percent of the total, with Palgrave Macmillan contributing the most (27 titles). The others were University Press of Florida (24), University of North Carolina Press (24), University of the West Indies Press (21), Duke University Press (17), University of Virginia Press (15), Routledge (12), Oxford University Press (11), Liverpool University Press (10), Lexington Books (10), Ian Randle (9), University of Mississippi Press (9), and Yale University Press (9). Another 13 publishers contributed 4–8 books each, accounting for 21 percent of books reviewed. The remaining 71 publishers pro- vided 1–3 titles—27 percent of the books reviewed. If we consider the contents of our annual Bookshelf round-up (which, unlike the reviews, includes fiction and poetry), the number of publishers more than doubles (as does the number of books).

I will be forever grateful for everything they taught me throughout these years; for their patience, their motivation, and encouragement. Words cannot express my gratitude for their continuous support of my Ph.D. I would like to express my appreciation to my coauthor Samuel Berlinski. He not only provided me the amazing opportunity to join the Research Department of the Inter- American Development Bank, but also helped me to navigate through pain and grief. I have learned a lot from him, both as a researcher and as a human being.

  • Bolivia Olímpica Capítulos VI Al VIII
    Símbolos de los VIII Juegos y de la ODEBO. El año 1935 en la Junta encargada de preparar los festejos del Cuarto Centenario de la Ciudad de Bogotá, capital de Colombia, tuvo origen la idea de realzar tal acontecimiento histórico con una competencia deportiva extraordinaria similar a las que tenían desarrollo dentro del movimiento olímpico mundial, con la participación de los países que fueron liberados del dominio español por el insigne prócer sudamericano Simón Bolívar. Impulsor y hombre llave del proyecto fue Alberto Nariño Cheyne, Director Nacional de Educación Física de Colombia. Este dirigente se dedicó a organizar las Asociaciones Nacionales de cada uno de los deportes existentes en su patria y una vez alcanzado tan importante objetivo, fundó el Comité Olímpico Colombiano. Nariño Cheyne concibió así el plan de realizar unas justas deportivas internacionales distintas y aprovechando su concurrencia personal a la olimpiada efectuada en Berlín en 1936, este soñador americano tomó contacto, en su condición de presidente del Comité Olímpico de su país con los integrantes del Consejo Ejecutivo de la máxima entidad Olímpica Internacional, ocasión en la que presentó al conde de Baillet Latour un informe patentizando sus laudables intenciones. Los resultados fueron positivos y de carácter inmediato, ya que, el 16 de agosto de ese año, el presidente del COI le hizo entrega de un documento en el que, además de aprobar sus propósitos, aseguraba el patrocinio de la organización olímpica mundial a los Juegos Bolivarianos, reservando los mismos a la participación exclusiva de Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panamá, Perú y Venezuela, las naciones de nuestro continente, vinculadas particularmente a la lucha libertadora de 1 Bolívar, y la verificación de la primera versión en la ciudad de Bogotá el año 1938, durante los festejos conmemorativos del IV Centenario de su fundación.
