  • Texas BOMA Legislative Update by Robert D. Miller, Yuniedth Midence Steen, and Gardner Pate November 7, 2012 the Elections
    Texas BOMA Legislative Update by Robert D. Miller, Yuniedth Midence Steen, and Gardner Pate November 7, 2012 The elections are (finally) over! Last night, across the country, voters chose not just the President, but also members of the U.S. Senate, Congress, and various state and local races. Texas was no different. The Presidential Race President Barack Obama (D) defeated former Governor Mitt Romney (R) in the race for President. President Obama won at least 303 electoral votes (at the time of writing, Florida has not yet been called for either candidate) to Governor Romney’s 206, putting the President above the required number of 270 needed to win the election. Federal Races Despite the literally billions of dollars spent this election cycle on congressional and U.S. senate races, very little changed in the grand scheme of things. In the U.S. Senate, Democrats will have 55 seats to the Republicans 45, a net pickup of 2 seats for Democrats and a corresponding net loss of 2 seats for the Republicans. In the U.S. House, while a few races are still outstanding, Republicans will comfortably maintain their majority. In Texas, former solicitor general Ted Cruz (R) handily defeated former Rep. Paul Sadler (D) to become the next U.S. Senator from Texas, replacing retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R). After the 2011 census, Texas added four new congressional districts, expanding the delegation from 32 to 36. In 2013, the Texas partisan breakdown will be 24 Republicans and 12 Democrats, a change from the current 23-9 split. Next year, four members of the 2011 delegation will not return to Congress: Quico Canseco* (R-San Antonio), Charlie Gonzalez (D- San Antonio), Ron Paul (R-Surfside), and Silvestre Reyes (D-El Paso).

  • Culturing on the Borderlands—A Critical Ethnography On
    CULTURING ON THE BORDERLANDS—A CRITICAL ETHNOGRAPHY ON TAIWANESE AND CHINESE TRANSNATIONAL PRACTICES Hsin-I Cheng A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2006 Committee: Alberto González,, Advisor Robert M. Buffington Graduate Faculty Representative Bettina Heinz John T. Warren Copyright 2006 Hsin-I Cheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Alberto González The U.S.-Mexico border has long been a site for cultural intermix and struggles as the global territories become more connected for capital flows. Such a space has drawn researchers from various disciplines to understand the impacts of the high as well as unequal volume of traveling. This ethnography critically examines the everyday communicative activities enacted and cultural identities (per)formed by a group of Taiwanese and Chinese transnationalists who arrived to the borderlands of El Paso and Juárez in the beginning of the 21st century. Rather than viewing culture as static, this research approaches it as an active creature which changes and grows through communication—traveling and dwelling on the border. This dissertation narrates daily interactions where space such as El Paso is (re)constructed during daily interactions in relations to places of Taiwan, China, Mexico, and the United States. Moreover, these relationships are ordered hierarchically, thus places are fixed in to ranked spaces. This spatial hierarchy then serves as the logic determining which communicative activities are to be engaged in on the El Paso/ Juárez border. Drawing mainly from S. Hall, H. Bhabha, and G. Anzaldúa, cultural identities are understood as processes of hybridizations.
