“1848 Beyond the 19Th Century: Border Fictions, Peripheral “1848 Beyond the 19 th Century: Border Fictions, Peripheral Modernities” Gibran Escalera A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Monika Kaup, Co-Chair Gillian Harkins, Co-Chair Robert Abrams Jessica Burstein Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English ©Copyright 2015 Gibran Escalera ii University of Washington Abstract “1848 Beyond the 19 th Century: Border Fictions, Peripheral Modernities” Gibran Escalera Co-Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Monika Kaup English Associate Professor Gillian Harkins English This dissertation analyzes 20 th and 21 st century border fictions that recreate the meaning of 1848 by disrupting the legacies of colonial modernity, in particular the territorial preoccupation of U.S. expansionism. The dissertation demonstrates that while the consequent border asymmetries have since dictated material formations and social imaginaries of the U.S.- Mexico border these are also challenged via what the dissertation names “trans-temporality.” This term refers to the crucial difference between the border deployed by colonial modernity in terms of a territory to be seized and administered, replete with its own unitary and self-affirming temporality, versus the ways that local border communities imagine and experience time. In order to make this argument, the dissertation reads counter-narratives that are border adaptations of four major modern literary formations, modernism, neopoliciaco detective fiction, postmodern metafiction and neorealism. The stakes in doing so are not only that these distinct re- iii conceptualizations of 1848 result in unique border adaptions of mainstream literary styles but also how these create the possibility of examining the non-territorial dimensions of space. In arguing for the significance of 1848 in the present within the context of the literary, this dissertation builds on and moves beyond the Chicano/a nationalist and post-nationalist fiction and scholarship, which pioneered the anti-colonial critique of 1848 by re-imagining the annexed territories as the Chicano/a homeland Aztlán. Further, this dissertation engages borderlands criticism, in particular Debra Castillo and María Socorro Tabuenca Córdoba, Claire Fox, and Jaime Javier Rodríguez. Significantly, the dissertation’s contribution is developed by fully exploring the link between the anti-colonial critique of the legacy of 1848 and literary style. Specifically, the dissertation demonstrates that an interrogation of the colonialist logic underpinning the U.S.-Mexico border can actually be gleaned through an analysis of modern fiction. The dissertation shows that the selected border fictions are not only counter-narratives to the U.S. expansionist narrative but in fact generate new aesthetics. This process is revealed through comparative analyses between borderlands fiction—that is written by U.S. and Mexican- American authors—and fronterizo texts, written in and about Northern Mexico. Chapter One examines border modernism by comparing two works that narrate the clash between projects of colonial modernity, imperial modernization, and mexicano anti-colonial revolutions of the 1910s, John Dos Passos’s The 42nd Parallel (1930) and Américo Paredes’s George Washington Gómez (1990). In George Washington Gómez , set in a small-scale border region (South Texas), the conflict is between agricultural modernization and traditional border corrido culture, resulting in sharply defined inter-ethnic conflict. Conversely, in The 42nd Parallel the focus is hemispheric. Mexico appears as central rather than peripheral to the U.S. as its modernizing project undergoes a qualitative and geographic shift towards trans-American iv scale, defined as much by imperial economic hierarchies as by cartography. Linking these texts is border modernism’s adaptation of modernist representational techniques, in particular shifting narrative modes and non-chronological structures. Chapter Two examines Gabriel Trujillo Muñoz’s neopoliciaco detective fiction Mezquite Road (1995) and “Tijuana City Blues” via what this dissertation terms the “Neo-Private Eye:” a product of the neoliberal border setting of the late 1990s, who is not an autonomous detective but rather a figure for the grassroots pursuit of justice and its necessarily conditional relationship to the neoliberal blurring of the private-public dichotomy. Neopoliciaco border fiction thus challenges the core dichotomy of neoliberalism that private interest is the highest public good. In addition to exposing the state as a criminal apparatus the border neopoliciaco’s critique of ratiocination counters the legacies of 1848 by showing how border asymmetries are as much a question of discourse and policy as they are territory. By detailing the private eye Morgado’s investigation of fifties era urban legends, “Tijuana City Blues” foregrounds how the discursive ruse that private individualism is the highest public good effectively re-produces the border beyond the purely territorial. If “Tijuana City Blues” critiques economic progress narratives, Mezquite Road shows how U.S. and Mexican state law enforcement agencies protect and thus sustain neoliberal ideologies. By delineating the complex network of state agencies and border citizens in Mexicali, Mezquite Road illuminates how the persistence of the border as a state- sanctioned, and thus legal, geopolitical divider is reinforced, paradoxically, by flouting the law. Chapter Three analyzes Instrucciones para cruzar la frontera (2011) in which Luis Humberto Crosthwaite adapts the postmodern strategies of parody, metafiction and pastiche in order to show how the normalization of borders as unobstructed transit points conceals the racialized logic of securing border zones. Using the array of strategies noted above, the chapter v shows that while the text portrays conditions in which the geographic space of multinational capital is flattened out and borders are less barriers than metaphors, it does so in the service of a historical critique. Thus the accent falls on border in “border postmodernism” not only because, as important as it is, Crosthwaite’s text emphasizes the difficulties of south-to-north crossing from the perspective of Tijuanenses . Rather, it is the way in which the metafictional strategies in Instrucciones para cruzar la frontera mediate a historical context where the very presence of human life is perceived as a threat so imminently real, however imagined it may be in reality, that capital punishment actually becomes a rational measure precisely because of the U.S. claim to “security.” Chapter Four analyzes the use of neorealism in Paul Flores’s Along the Border Lies (2001) and Ana Castillo’s The Guardians (2007) to show that analyses of border violence are flawed in perceiving the U.S.-Mexico borderline as a stable territorial referent. In defining neorealism, the dissertation draws on Kris Versluys, who identifies “mimetic prose” and “verisimilitude” as characteristic features, as well as Robert Rebein, who emphasizes the centrality of character experience. Specifically, the dissertation shows how the historical circumstances of border militarization and narco-trafficking are mediated by each text’s implementation of the neorealist lack of closure in order to critique geographically based explanations of border violence. In Along the Border Lies , narco-trafficking occurs between San Diego and Tijuana, yet as the text foregrounds this traffic is less about physical borders than the non-spatial dimensions of border violence, registered stylistically through multi-perspectival narrative accounts. By rendering the character experience of drug trafficking on an increasingly militarized border without resolving a single plotline, the text suggests that border violence cannot be plotted exclusively through geography. Similarly, The Guardians portrays a series of vi abductions in the borderlands of New Mexico, Texas and Cd. Juárez. The difference however is that resistance to closure is not about unresolved plotlines but a limited interpretive capacity. By constructing an imagined world inhabited by characters where the object of their description, abduction, is in excess of their descriptive and analytic capacity, Castillo suggests an alternative vocabulary with which to revisit the paradigm that border violence is intertwined at both the individual and state levels. vii Table of Contents Chapter Page Introduction………………………………………………………………………..1 I.

    Annual Report Of the Town of Brookfield, Massachusetts 2017 BROOKFIELD COMMON NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT A WALKING GUIDE A Guide to the Architectural Highlights of the District Early English travelers between Massachusetts Bay and the Connecticut River Valley noted the fine agricultural Indian lands of the Quaboag Valley. A group of business minded colonists, predominantly from Ipswich, obtained a grant for a plantation in 1660, known as Quaboag, and began to settle five years later. The settlement was spread across what is known today as Foster Hill and down the eastern slope along Devil’s Elbow Road and past Hovey Brook. In 1673 the plantation was incorporated as the town of Brookfield. The isolated town grew until 1675, when it was attacked and burned in the “Seige of Brookfield” during the King Philip’s War. The town lay almost abandoned until a resettlement grew cautiously in the 1680s. In 1701 Brookfield was expanded to an eight-mile square entity, and in 1718 became self-governing. There is much to be told of the early history and the many personages who lived here, made their mark and moved on. As a member of the “Quaboag Towns” we look at the large landscape that was once Brookfield and the many divisions that came about from the original eight square miles. With well over 350 years of history and hundreds of archived pages, we hope you will enjoy the walking guide through highlights of the district as you learn of our truly fascinating past.

  • LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.

It argues that a policy of open borders and free migration would create massive poverty reduction while helping to improve the lives of most of the native born, and that any adverse consequences could be made up for with “keyhole solutions” that leave massive migration flows intact while tweaking policy to deal with specific consequences. It provocatively argues that given the evidence surveyed in the earlier chapters, every major moral theory recommends open borders. Keywords: open borders, free migration, moral theory, keyhole solutions 1 Introduction Suppose you get laid off in Oklahoma.1 Local opportunities are sparse, so you find a job in California, rent a new place, and go. Voilà, your move is done. You need not get permission from a government official or convince anybody that your presence is a net positive for California.2 That’s because the member states of the United States have open borders. This chapter argues in favor of global open borders. In an open borders world, you don’t need permission to move from Lahore to London or Montreal to Mumbai any more than you need permission to move from Oklahoma to California.
