  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • Zvi Gitelman
    ZVI GITELMAN Reconstructing Jewish Communities and Jewish Identities in Post- Communist East Central Europe The communist era left the Jews of East Central Europe with a varied legacy, but what they have had in common since 1990 is the ability to choose whether and how to identify as Jews and to reconstruct public Jewish life. They do not do so in isolation, but are influenced both by the societies and states in which they live and by world Jewry and Israel. Ultimately, the choices are theirs, but they are shaped by these external actors. The major issues to be resolved are the nature of Jewish identity and its meaning; how to relate to the post- communist states, their neighbors, world Jewry and the State of Israel; how to deal with the communist past and those who shaped public Jewish life in that period; the restitution of public and private Jewish properties; and the seemingly perennial issue of anti-Semitism. In the course of half a century (1939–1989) the great majority of Jews in East Central Europe were murdered, and the majority of those who survived were deprived of their Judaism and Jewishness. Unlike the Nazis, the communists did not try to destroy Jews, but their policies of official atheism and forced acculturation seriously eroded Judaism and Jewish identity, though the latter was kept alive in most East Central European societies by social and governmental anti-Semitism. Unlike the Soviet state, communist states in Eastern Europe did not identify Jews officially as such on their internal passports, but they kept records which allowed them to identify Jews.

Publication Date 2015-08-01 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California FLAG RESEARCH QUARTERLY REVUE TRIMESTRIELLE DE RECHERCHE EN VEXILLOLOGIE AUGUST / AOÛT 2015 No. 7 ARTICLE A research publication of the North American Vexillological Association / Une publication de recherche de Drapo Vodou: Sacred l‘Association nord-américaine de vexillologie Standards of Haitian Vodou By ANNE M. PLATOFF* Introduction The field of vexillology is, by nature, a multidisciplinary one. It is difficult to understand the significance of an individual flag or group of flags without exam- ining the context within which those objects were created and are used. This paper will present a case study of a multidisciplinary investigation of one type of flags. Haitian Vodou flags (drapo Vodou) are little known to vexillologists, but have been studied by scholars in the fields of art, anthropology, African-American studies, and other disciplines. An investigation of prior scholarship from these areas demon- strates that this category of flags is not only significantly different than the flags usually examined by vexillologists, but they also have much to teach us about the study of flags as a multidisciplinary exercise. There are several books that are focused on Vodou flags. Patrick Arthur Polk, a prolific researcher on the topic, has produced a colorful and informative book titled Haitian Vodou Flags (1999). In his book, Polk summarizes information compiled in the preparation of his Ph.D.

    Using marine debris, painted silk, Creative Flow and paper, artist Pam Longobardi, Linda Gass, and Lauren Rosenthal Three Activist Artists advocate for greater consciousness by Sally Hansell of our fragile water systems. owerful new work by three activist artists addresses one of the nation’s most critical issues—the steady degradation of our precious water supply. Pam Lon- gobardi uses plastic trash collected on beaches to Pmake provocative art that points to the devastating dangers of plastic in our environment. Linda Gass creates vibrant paint- ed-silk quilt works depicting specific ecological hazards in San Francisco Bay. Lauren Rosenthal turns watershed data into cut- paper sculptures to demonstrate the interconnectedness of riv- ers and earthly organisms. Through their chosen media, these diverse artists advocate for a heightened global ecological con- sciousness. In 2006, Pam Longobardi launched an ongoing project called Drifters after encountering mounds of consumer waste on the beach at South Point, the southernmost tip of the Hawaiian Islands. The project includes photography, sculp- ture, public art, and installations made from the debris that washes up on shores around the world. The Atlanta artist creates “driftwebs” from abandoned drift nets, the miles-long fishing nets that wreak havoc on sea life, killing fish, mammals, turtles, and birds. She cuts and ties pieces of the nets to make installations resembling spider webs. Her intent is not only to draw attention to the dan- gerous plastic nets, but more importantly, to use their woven colorful forms as a dual metaphor for the predatory, destruc- tive behavior of humankind and the interconnectedness of the web of life.

  • FINAL REPORT International Commission on the Holocaust In
    FINAL REPORT of the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania Presented to Romanian President Ion Iliescu November 11, 2004 Bucharest, Romania NOTE: The English text of this Report is currently in preparation for publication. © International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania. All rights reserved. DISTORTION, NEGATIONISM, AND MINIMALIZATION OF THE HOLOCAUST IN POSTWAR ROMANIA Introduction This chapter reviews and analyzes the different forms of Holocaust distortion, denial, and minimalization in post-World War II Romania. It must be emphasized from the start that the analysis is based on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s definition of the Holocaust, which Commission members accepted as authoritative soon after the Commission was established. This definition1 does not leave room for doubt about the state-organized participation of Romania in the genocide against the Jews, since during the Second World War, Romania was among those allies and a collaborators of Nazi Germany that had a systematic plan for the persecution and annihilation of the Jewish population living on territories under their unmitigated control. In Romania’s specific case, an additional “target-population” subjected to or destined for genocide was the Romany minority. This chapter will employ an adequate conceptualization, using both updated recent studies on the Holocaust in general and new interpretations concerning this genocide in particular. Insofar as the employed conceptualization is concerned, two terminological clarifications are in order. First, “distortion” refers to attempts to use historical research on the dimensions and significance of the Holocaust either to diminish its significance or to serve political and propagandistic purposes. Although its use is not strictly confined to the Communist era, the term “distortion” is generally employed in reference to that period, during which historical research was completely subjected to controls by the Communist Party’s political censorship.
