  • Ireland and Latin America: a Cultural History
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2010 Ireland and Latin America: a cultural history Murray, Edmundo Abstract: According to Declan Kiberd, “postcolonial writing does not begin only when the occupier withdraws: rather it is initiated at that very moment when a native writer formulates a text committed to cultural resistance.” The Irish in Latin America – a continent emerging from indigenous cultures, colonisation, and migrations – may be regarded as colonised in Ireland and as colonisers in their new home. They are a counterexample to the standard pattern of identities in the major English-speaking destinations of the Irish Diaspora. Using literary sources, the press, correspondence, music, sports, and other cultural representations, in this thesis I search the attitudes and shared values signifying identities among the immigrants and their families. Their fragmentary and wide-ranging cultures provide a rich context to study the protean process of adaptation to, or rejection of, the new countries. Evolving from oppressed to oppressors, the Irish in Latin America swiftly became ingleses. Subsequently, in order to join the local middle classes they became vaqueros, llaneros, huasos, and gauchos so they could show signs of their effective integration to the native culture, as seen by the Latin American elites. Eventually, some Irish groups separated from the English mainstream culture and shaped their own community negotiating among Irishness, Englishness, and local identities in Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Cuba, and other places in the region. These identities were not only unmoored in the emigrants’ minds but also manoeuvred by the political needs of community and religious leaders.

  • Family Court Judges
    AN INDEPENDENT REPORT ON CORRUPTION AND WASTE IN THE NEW YORK FAMILY COURT SYSTEM "The family courts are operating a kidnapping and extortion racket." – Dr Stephen Baskerville “Our state court system in New York is absolutely insane. It has enabled political people to control the courts, and they don’t want to give it up — so it’s very hard to get legitimate change that would be beneficial to the public.” – The Hon. David Saxe, NY Appellate Division Justice (retired, 2017) “There is no system ever devised by mankind that is guaranteed to rip husband and wife or father, mother and child apart so bitterly than our present Family Court System.” -- NY Supreme Court Judge Brian Lindsay After an exhaustive survey of litigants, attorneys and judges in New York State’s family and matrimonial courts, and with the cooperation of numerous organizations and individuals, the Families Civil Liberties Union presents this wide-reaching report into the family court system of New York. It reveals corruption, cronyism, racketeering, waste and abuse that require urgent public attention. This report is timely and relevant because the New York judiciary has just been granted $3.1 bn in new public funding for the coming year, an increase of 3.4% -- higher than any other government entity. This money was signed off on by both the NY Legislature and Governor Cuomo. This report shows why all funding for the judiciary should be frozen until the evidence of systematic fraud in the judiciary is fully investigated. The report begins with a survey of the judges who have most egregiously failed to perform their constitutional and statutory duties in 2017 and 2018.

  • Democracy Promotion As Foreign Policy
    DEMOCRACY PROMOTION AS FOREIGN POLICY AS FOREIGN PROMOTION DEMOCRACY series editors JENNY EDKINS AND NICK VAUGHAN-WILLIAMS This book looks at democracy promotion as a form of foreign policy. Elliott asks why democracy was seen to be the answer to the 7/7 bombings in London, and why it should be promoted not in Britain, but in Pakistan. The book provides a detailed answer to these questions, examining the logic and the modes of thinking that made such a response possible through analysis of the stories we tell about ourselves: stories about time, history, development, civilisation and the ineluctable spread of democracy. Elliott argues that these narratives have become a key tool in enabling practices that differentiate selves from others, friends from enemies, the domestic from the foreign, civilisation from the barbarian. They operate with a particular conception of time and constitute a British, democratic, national identity by positing an “other” that is barbaric, alien, despotic, violent and backward. Such understandings are useful in the wake of disaster, because they leave us with something to do: danger can be managed by bringing certain people and places up-to-date. However, this book shows that there are other stories to be told, and that it is possible to read stories about history against the grain and author alternative, less oppressive, versions. Providing a genealogy drawing on material from colonial and postcolonial Britain and Pakistan, including legislation, political discourse, popular culture and government projects, this book will be of interest to scholars and students focusing on democracy promotion, genealogy, critical border studies, poststructural IR, postcolonial politics, discourse analysis, identity/subjectivity, and “the war on terror”.

  • Cathy Elliott Thesis Final Version Mar 2013
    The Blackmail of Democracy: A Genealogy of British/Pakistani Democracy Promotion by Catherine Elliott A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 1 Declaration 2 Acknowledgements Any doctoral thesis is the product of a relational, radically ordinary, experience of collaboration, talk, mutual support and sometimes rather intense emotion. I have long been grateful to Mark Ferrigan for first introducing me to the ideas of Michel Foucault and other French “theory”. I still use his explanations and examples with my students. The idea of writing about the strange business of promoting liberal democracy first came to me when talking to Jack Elden one hot night in my garden in Islamabad. I am grateful not only to him but to all my other brilliant colleagues, too numerous to name, at the British Council in Pakistan and Manchester. Particular thanks to Jo Seaman for being a great boss, as well as all my friends and colleagues in Pakistan, particularly Parveen Hasan, Rehana Sheikh, Umbreen Baig, Aalya Gloeckler, Roohi Afrooze, Javed Akhtar, Aziz Ahmed, Hajji Mohammed Akhtar, Supriya Madhavan, Zarin Khan and, above all, Asghar Soomro for showing me so much about this beautiful and fascinating country. I am also deeply grateful to the extraordinary Tomáš Daňhel for teaching me, amongst many other things, that what should be is less important than what is. David Hudson and Sherrill Stroschein at University College London gave me a huge amount of support in taking this project from an idea to a research proposal and have been brilliant supervisors throughout.
