February 14, 2018 the Honorable Ricardo Rosselló Governor La
February 14, 2018 The Honorable Ricardo Rosselló Governor La Fortaleza P.O. Box 9020082 San Juan, PR 00902-0082 Dear Governor Rosselló, I write as president of the American Statistical Association to respectfully urge you to keep Puerto Rico’s statistical agency, El Instituto de Estadísticas de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, PRIS), and its board of directors fully independent. I also draw your attention to the 2,800 individuals—and still growing—who have signed a petition with this same request.1 At this critical historical juncture, Puerto Rico needs accurate, objective, and timely statistics. Government statistics empower the economy, serve the health and welfare of citizens, improve governance, and inform decisions and policies in the public and private sectors, among many other vital functions. Government statistics are also fundamental to evidence-based policymaking, the engagement of which is on a rapid rise in local, state, and federal governments. To address the challenges posed by its decade-long economic recession and the devastation of back-to-back hurricanes, Puerto Rico must chart its path toward sustainable recovery using reputable and reliable data and statistical methods. Because of their broad and profound importance, it is imperative that government statistics be produced through rigorous scientific processes and analyses performed by experts that can function without improper outside influence. Government statistics must be independent, objective, accurate, and timely and be perceived as such. It is just as important to have adequate statistics on a variety of topics. PRIS has demonstrated repeatedly it has the expertise to function independently to produce rigorous, objective, and accurate statistics for the benefit of Puerto Rico and its people. -
Reflecting on Caregiving
Our Immigrant Fathers: Reflecting on Caregiving Laurens Van Sluytman and Halaevalu Vakalahi Abstract: This article explores the experiences of two immigrant fathers. One is from Guyana, geographically in South America, but culturally in the Caribbean. One is from the Pacific, of Tongan ancestry but living in Hawai’i. Each father is an older adult with a chronic condition, who has been primarily cared for by their spouses. The story is told from the perspective of their two social work educator children, one male and one female, who provided support from a distance. Explored in this reflection are the complexities in the intersection of traditional cultural expectations, immigrant experience and cultural duality, and sustaining forces for the spousal caregivers and children who are social work professionals. Practice would benefit from tools that initiate narratives providing deeper awareness of environment and embeddedness within communities, both communities of origin and new communities and the implications for caregiving. Treatment planning must be inclusive of caregiving (shared with all parties) for older adults while striving to keep the family informed and respecting the resilience and lives deeply rooted in a higher. Keywords: caregiving, immigration, cultural duality, community-based writing, autoethnography, cultural context Many scholars of diverse communities tie their scholarship to their communities of origin and those communities’ relationship to larger social structures. At times, these scholars find their research interests deeply intertwined in their personal biographies. In these cases, community-based writing offers an opportunity to add deeper rich context to the lives of communities being studied or with whom professionals seek to intervene. -

Crafting Colombianidad: Race, Citizenship and the Localization of Policy in Philadelphia
CRAFTING COLOMBIANIDAD: RACE, CITIZENSHIP AND THE LOCALIZATION OF POLICY IN PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Diane R. Garbow July 2016 Examining Committee Members: Judith Goode, Advisory Chair, Department of Anthropology Naomi Schiller, Department of Anthropology Melissa Gilbert, Department of Geography and Urban Studies Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas, External Member, City University of New York © Copyright 2016 by Diane R. Garbow All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT In contrast to the municipalities across the United States that restrict migration and criminalize the presence of immigrants, Philadelphia is actively seeking to attract immigrants as a strategy to reverse the city’s limited economic and political importance caused by decades of deindustrialization and population loss. In 2010, the population of Philadelphia increased for the first time in six decades. This achievement, widely celebrated by the local government and in the press, was only made possible through increased immigration. This dissertation examines how efforts to attract migrants, through the creation of localized policy and institutions that facilitate incorporation, transform assertions of citizenship and the dynamics of race for Colombian migrants. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Colombians’ articulations of citizenship, and the ways they extend beyond juridical and legal rights, are enabled and constrained under new regimes of localized policy. In the dissertation, I examine citizenship as a set of performances and practices that occur in quotidian tasks that seek to establish a sense of belonging. Without a complex understanding of the effects of local migration policy, and how they differ from the effects of federal policy, we fail to grasp how Philadelphia’s promotion of migration has unstable and unequal effects for differentially situated actors. -

Firpo ii ABSTRACT The Orlando Metropolitan Statistical Area became the fastest growing Puerto Rican population since 1980.1 While the literature has grown regarding Orlando‘s Puerto Rican community, no works deeply analyze the push and pull factors that led to the mass migration of Puerto Ricans to Central Florida. In fact, it was the combination of deteriorating economies in both Puerto Rico and New York City (the two largest concentrations of Puerto Ricans in the United States) and the rise of employment opportunities and cheap cost of living in Central Florida that attract Puerto Ricans from the island the diaspora to the region. -

Abstract This qualitative study examines multiple facets of motherhood among thirty Indo- Caribbean immigrant mothers living in Queens and Schenectady, New York, in the United States. These women belong to a growing Indo-Caribbean population that immigrated over the last forty years to the U.S. Indo-Caribbean families share a unique historical and cultural footprint that combines experiences, traditions, and practices from three distinct locations: India, Caribbean nations, and the United States. Despite the complex socio-cultural tapestry of this group, currently, little information is available about this group, including a lack of research on motherhood. Using the tenets of Social Feminism Perspectives, Gender Identity, and the Cultural-Ecological Framework, Indo-Caribbean immigrant mothers were interviewed using open-ended questions concerning their conceptions and practices of motherhood and the socio- cultural values influencing their schemas about motherhood within the context of life in the U.S. -

CHAPTER TWO THE RHETORIC OF THE MARKET The crucial criterion for successful participation in the seventeenth- century Dutch public debate was the establishment of authority. Con- front ed with the limits imposed by convention and censorship, authors had to search for powerful patronage to support their publications and overcome potential opposition. The history behind the œuvre of the brothers De la Court reveals that this was no easy task: though he was initially backed by De Witt and the political establishment, De la Court quickly lost this support after the publication of the Interest van Holland, he was scorned by the public and his works were banned by the church. Yet apart from offfijicial patronage, there was also a second, more powerful way to establish one’s authority and thereby undermine the authority of others: the power of language.1 With their humanist education, the broth- ers De la Court, like all seventeenth-century authors, knew how to apply that power most efffectively thanks to the study of rhetoric. Since antiquity, the teaching and practice of rhetoric had played a cen- tral role in public life, offfering the foremost comprehensive system for the creation and evaluation of speech – and thus, for society’s most important feature: human communication. Famous Roman orators and theorists such as Cicero and Quintilian, who elaborated on a rich Greek rhetorical legacy, left hugely influential treatises that would dominate discussions on the subject for centuries. With the advent of humanism, this rhetorical tradition received new attention and emphasis. In line with the teachings of the classics, rhetoric came to be seen as an essential element of the ideal of a vir bonus dicendi peritus, the virtuous citizen who engages actively in the public life of the polity by eloquently advising his sovereign and instructing his fellow citizens to pursue truth and reason.2 1 See Kevin Sharpe, Reading Revolutions. -
