    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 156 ABORIGINAL INDIAN POTTERY OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BY HERBERT W. KRIEGER Curator of Ethnology, United States National Museum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1931 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price, 75 cents ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletins. The Proceedings^ begun in 1878, are intended primarily as a me- dium for the publication of original papers, based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organiza- tions and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The Bulletins^ the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general sj^stematic treatises (occasion- ally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, cata- logues of type-specimens, special collections, and other material of a similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Gontrihutions from the United States National Hei'haHum^ in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

    DOMINICANAS UNBOUND: RELIGION, CULTURE AND POLITICS IN DOMINICAN AND DOMINICAN AMERICAN WOMEN’S LITERATURE A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Spanish By Maisha Mitchell, M.A. Washington, DC April 14, 2014 Copyright 2014 by Maisha Mitchell All Rights Reserved ii DOMINICANAS UNBOUND: RELIGION, CULTURE AND POLITICS IN DOMINICAN AND DOMINICAN AMERICAN WOMEN’S LITERATURE Maisha Mitchell, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Tania Gentic, Ph.D ABSTRACT What is the connection between contemporary Dominican literature and Louis Althusser’s theories about how the ruling classes are able to maintain power? I conclude that there is a sector of Dominican literature that gives an inside look at how groups that have traditionally been classified as marginalized, specifically women, the poor and Afro-descendants have survived within specific hegemonies since the early twentieth century on the island and in the U.S. Angie Cruz, Nelly Rosario, Maritza Loida Pérez, Julia Álvarez Marta Rivera and Marisela Rizik are Dominican and Dominican American women whose novels illustrate the daily struggles of those who do not belong to the mainstream, yet make a space for themselves in which to live despite the challenges they face in their respective eras and countries. I examine these challenges in the context of two of Althusser’s best known theories, those of ideological state apparatuses or ISAs (such as religion, education, family, law, politics, culture, the media and the economy) and repressive state apparatuses or RSAs (such as the government, military, police, courts and prisons).

At the time o introduce our NGO, we want to remark that in the middle of the endless needs that affect the countries like ours, it is at least comforting to find spaces where the volunteer service become an outstanding exercise of kindness and love; these efforts nevertheless, usually are insufficient considering the huge deficiencies from certain sectors and the limited resources available to this kind of institutions devoted in this Christian mission of solidarity. Established and incorporated according to the Dominican Law 122-05 about NGOs, (RNC No. 430054909) The Color of Life Foundation (Color de Vida) works in highly marginalized neighborhoods , located at the North side of the town in Esperanza, at the Valverde province (Northwest of the country) where the poverty variables (unhealthiness, undernourishment and illiteracy) are really alarming; We are putting all the persistence that humanly is possible to correct some of these matters, helping a lot of children around the area, but we certainly need as much aid as possible to make our work more effective. Foods, vitamins, equipment, medical aid, help in the allocation of professors or the sponsorship of the children, would be some of the possibilities that we put in your hands to help us to help them, knowing about your highest sensitivity and human quality, we have faith that do your best efforts to collaborate with this cause, that in essence, must be the one of all.
