  • Mapping Second Generation Cape Verdean Youth Identity in the Greater Boston Area
    “WE EAT CACHUPA, NOT CLAM CHOWDER:” MAPPING SECOND GENERATION CAPE VERDEAN YOUTH IDENTITY IN THE GREATER BOSTON AREA A dissertation presented by Paul Khalil Saucier Submitted to The Department of Sociology and Anthropology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Sociology Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts September, 2008 1 “WE EAT CACHUPA, NOT CLAM CHOWDER:” MAPPING SECOND GENERATION CAPE VERDEAN YOUTH IDENTITY IN THE GREATER BOSTON AREA by Paul Khalil Saucier ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate School Arts and Sciences of Northeastern University, September 2008 2 ABSTRACT On the basis of fieldwork conducted in the Greater Boston area from May 2007 to May 2008, this dissertation explores the ways in which second-generation Cape Verdean youth in the Greater Boston area negotiate their identity as Cape Verdean and, by extension, as black through multiple articulations of diaspora. Using the ethnographic method this dissertation attempts to understand processes of racialization of “blackness.” My objective is to examine how racialization works to create black identities and to challenge the assumptions that black people do not actively participate in the discourses and practices of racial identity formation. I argue that Cape Verdean youth identities are constructed out of a process of negotiation and contestation, but the negotiation and contestation is stunted by the racial logic of the U.S.; a logic that configures blacks one- dimensionally. In doing so, I examine how North American ascriptions of blackness and forms of black popular culture inform processes of identity formation and negotiation among Cape Verdean youth.

Among the Lusophone texts that are available in translation, those from Cape Verde are few and far between. This lack can be attributed to multiple factors. First, creative publications from Cape Verde do not have wide circulation. Many Cape Verdean works are published in the islands and do not have a large international market, even among other Portuguese-speaking countries.

A content analysis of these blogs showed that missionaries use their own cultural and religious frame to make observations, some good and some bad, about cultural habits and beliefs foreign to their own. Through the medium of blogging, we see how missionaries use self-narratives to understand and make sense out of differences in culture and beliefs that ultimately impact how they identify themselves.

Email: [email protected] Abstract Contemporary international politics are characterized by a diversity of actors, ranging from the human person as the subject of international law, to international organizations, national states. In addition to these international subjects, which are based on a judicial-legal system, international politics are characterized by the existence of several international sectors, which are not subjects of international law, but their behavior can influence and shape contemporary international politics. We can list some examples such as mafia organizations, international terrorism and other emerging sectors. Given the characteristics of international politics described above shows that the national states, have to face enormous challenges, which concern not only its international profile, but also the fight against transnational organized crime.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Theatre in Circulation: Performing
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Theatre in Circulation: Performing National Identity on the Global Stage in Cape Verde, West Africa A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Theatre and Drama By Christina S. McMahon EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2008 2 © Copyright by Christina S. McMahon 2008 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT Theatre in Circulation: Performing National Identity on the Global Stage in Cape Verde, West Africa Christina S. McMahon This study examines how Cape Verdean theatre artists construct transformative performances of race, gender, language, and colonial history at the Mindelact International Theatre Festival on the Cape Verde Islands. The aim is to understand how international theatre festivals participate in the production and shaping of new social imaginaries about nationhood. Drawing on my sustained ethnographic work with Cape Verdean performers and archival research into the festival’s media coverage, I analyze three trends that featured prominently at Mindelact from 2004-06: dramatizations of oral histories about colonial-era rebellions and drought, theatre and dance performances foregrounding Cape Verdean women’s labor and sexuality, and adaptations of Western plays. I argue that when Cape Verdean artists circulate this theatre to a festival context, they rewrite central narratives about their country’s national identity. By analyzing how festivals operate as mechanisms of circulation, I expand globalization theories that reassess how
