  • James J. Peters VA Hosts Valentines for Veterans 2010
    Medical Center 130 W. Kingsbridge Rd Bronx, NY 10468 (718) 741-4273 Fax (718) 741-4269 Department of Veterans Affairs Health Headlines For Immediate Release February 12, 2010 James J. Peters VA Hosts Valentines for Veterans 2010 During the week of February 7-14, the James J. Peters VA Medical Center celebrated the 32nd Annual National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans. The National Salute is a week-long celebration of special thanks that occurs during the week marked by Valentines Day. During this time, VA Medical Centers across the country invite local celebrities, elected officials and school children to visit veterans and to bring them some Valentines Day cheer. This year, the Medical Center hosted Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez; Miss USA 2009 Kristen Dalton; and Miss Teen USA Stormi Henley; along with State Senator Jeff Klein and members of the SUNY Maritime Color Guard. "The National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans gives everyone a chance to let our veterans know just how very much they are appreciated," said Medical Center Director, MaryAnn Musumeci, "We’re excited to welcome Miss Fernandez, Miss Dalton, Miss Henley and Senator Klein. Their participation just heightens the celebration and brings a special note of cheer to our veterans.” Musumeci said she hopes visitors will also learn more about the important roles volunteers play at the medical center throughout the year and perhaps pursue volunteer opportunities. "Our medical center’s 464 volunteers are an important part of our health care team and donate over 85,000 hours of their precious time to our veterans. The National Salute program is a great way for people to learn more about helping the veterans we serve," Musumeci said.

  • Constructing and Transgressing Borders Images of Self and Other in the History of the Americas
    Rev16-01 23/11/04 11:54 Página 107 Stefan Rinke* ➲ Constructing and Transgressing Borders Images of Self and Other in the History of the Americas A border usually signifies a line that separates one country or territorial area from another. In a cultural sense a border also represents difference and constitutes otherness as well as identity. In the case of borders between states, the use of national symbols such as flags and anthems reinforce the concept of otherness. Borders, in this sense, are symbols of power. Yet they also mark out a space between territories, a space where foreigners encounter each other. Thus they establish links and facilitate contacts that are not always under the control of existing power structures. Borders are not only dividing lines between two or more contingent systems, but also contact zones where encounters and exchange become possible.1 This article will focus on cognitive and mental borders that find expression in per- ceptions of the foreign other.2 Perceptions and mental images demonstrate the exchange function of borders. Borders – whether political or cultural – are constructed on the basis of concepts of alterity. For historians of Latin America, the main pole of alterity has been Europe; historians have traditionally concentrated on processes of perception in relation to the “Old World”.3 From a European perspective, America – at the point of its discovery – constituted a monolithic “New World”. Only in the course of the colonial period did a terminological differentiation of the Americas emerge. Since the nineteenth century the emergence of categories such as “North” and “South” or “Anglo” and “Latin” has often concealed the differences between the many Americas.
