“Even If You Have Food In Your House, It Will Not Taste Sweet”: Central African Refugees’ Experiences Of Cultural Food Insecurity And Other Overlapping Insecurities In Tampa, Florida, Shaye Soifoine
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In the United States, resettled African refugee populations experience food insecurity at rates up to seven times higher than those of the general population. In Tampa, Florida, anthropologists have documented high levels of food insecurity among Central African refugee households since members of this population began to be resettled in the area in 2016. Utilizing an intersectional lens and drawing upon theoretical concepts such as cultural food security, navigational capital, and social reproduction, this thesis examines how Central African refugees, particularly women, experience food (in)security and other overlapping forms of (in)security as they integrate into US systems of structural inequality …
Baseball, With A Southern Accent: The Urban Game In The Post-Reconstruction South, Paul Dunder
Baseball, With A Southern Accent: The Urban Game In The Post-Reconstruction South, Paul Dunder
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Numerous scholars and historians have illuminated the importance of baseball within American society from the end of Reconstruction to the Great Depression. Yet their gaze has often been turned to the northern professional game. Very little has been written about how the game played a role in the South in the aftermath of the Civil War. This study considers how baseball in the South helped to reflect and underscore some of the tensions within a society marked by racial, class, and gendered conflicts. Baseball played an instrumental role in shaping aspects of Southern society and community identity in new urban …

“We Developed Solidarity”: Family, Race, Identity, And Space-Time In Recent Multiethnic U.S. American Fiction, Kimber L. Wiggs
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In Diversity in Families, sociologists Maxine Baca Zinn, D. Stanley Eitzen, and Barbara Wells assert, “At a very personal level, families are crucial shapers of who we are and what our opportunities have been and will be” (xvii). The novels in this dissertation—Octavia Butler’s Kindred (1979), Karen Tei Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange (1997), and Rosaura Sánchez and Beatrice Pita’s Lunar Braceros 2125-2148 (2009)—examine the role of family in the development of individual identity and the practice of social justice. These authors foreground characters from various ethnic backgrounds and depict how the characters form new, multiethnic families. My dissertation explores the …
Civic Engagement Amid Civil Unrest: Haitian Social Scientists Working At Home, Nadège Nau
Civic Engagement Amid Civil Unrest: Haitian Social Scientists Working At Home, Nadège Nau
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Unlike many of the autoethnographic accounts in world anthropologies discourse, this study employs critical educational ethnography to both address the geopolitics of Haitian anthropology while also spotlighting an understudied group: university faculty. This study addresses: What are the conditions of academic labor for anthropology professors working in Haiti? Moreover, what is the price of being an anthropology professor at the School of Ethnology at the State University of Haiti (UEH), and how do professors add meaningful value to their labor through sacrifice, ingenuity, and civic engagement? Despite professors’ work-related challenges and Haiti’s severe “brain drain” levels, for many professors, their …
Wikistorming Novel Exercise, James Mcadams
Wikistorming Novel Exercise, James Mcadams
All Digital Pedagogy Resources
Wikipedia provides an excellent repository for students in class to collaborate together on creating a living, scholarly, document on the web. Not only does this reinforce standards of public, professional writing, as outlined by the Wikipedia editing protocols, but more importantly it teaches younger students that the Internet is not just something that they can consume, but something that they can control and talk back to. Therefore, the purpose of this assignment was to adjust student attitudes towards writing on the Internet while making them proud that their work could be seen by others.
Migration, Labor Scarcity, And Deforestation In Honduran Cattle Country, David C. Griffith, Raquel Isaula, Pedro Torres, Manuel Villa Cruz
Migration, Labor Scarcity, And Deforestation In Honduran Cattle Country, David C. Griffith, Raquel Isaula, Pedro Torres, Manuel Villa Cruz
Journal of Ecological Anthropology
Large scale labor migration from Olancho, Honduras to the United States, accelerated after 1998, when Hurricane Mitch devastated the region and resulted in the United States offering Temporary Protective Status (TPS) to affected Hondurans. As growing numbers left for the United States, the loss of productive youth to migration and the development of new local economic opportunities combined to create shortages of labor available for traditional uses of local natural resources in rural communities. Remittances from abroad and sentimental factors also contributed to the erosion of local labor supplies, leading some rural producers to phase back on mixed crop-and-livestock strategies …
The Effect Of Neoliberalism On Capabilities: Evaluating The Case Of Mexico, James Paul Walker
The Effect Of Neoliberalism On Capabilities: Evaluating The Case Of Mexico, James Paul Walker
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The goal of this thesis is to examine the effect of neoliberalism on developing nations. Specifically it will look at how neoliberalism has affected Mexico via the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mexico was chosen because since its depression in 1982 it has adopted continuing neoliberal policy, which according to its leaders, United States leaders, and international governmental bodies, is the path to development and the improvement of the standard of living for all people. This work begins by examining the historical path of neoliberalism to provide context for choosing Mexico for the focal point of this thesis, as well …
Latino Immigrant Workers’ Search For Justice After Occupational Injury, Carla Gabriela Castillo
Latino Immigrant Workers’ Search For Justice After Occupational Injury, Carla Gabriela Castillo
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Latino immigrants encounter an entanglement of rights and policies after occupational injury or illness. In collaboration with an immigrant worker center, ethnographic research and a survey are used to analyze injured workers’ experiences. The center uses survey results to identify common threads and systematic problems, and to explore potential direct action. Through interviews with workers and medical and legal professionals, I investigate the barriers Latino immigrants face following occupational injury or illness, how their lived experiences relate to the greater medicolegal frameworks that demarcate most formal processes of compensation and treatment, and the experiences of professionals who mediate these structures. …

A Philosophical Analysis Of Intellectual Property: In Defense Of Instrumentalism, Michael A. Kanning
A Philosophical Analysis Of Intellectual Property: In Defense Of Instrumentalism, Michael A. Kanning
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This thesis argues in favor of an instrumental approach to Intellectual Property (IP). I begin by reviewing justifications for IP that have been offered in recent literature, including Lockean labor theory, Hegelian personality theory, Kantian property theory and utilitarianism. Upon a close and careful analysis, I argue that none of these justifications suffice to ground contemporary IP practice. I review some recent works that offer `pluralist' justifications for IP, which draw from multiple theories in order to account for the diverse field of IP-related laws and practices in existence. I argue that these pluralist theories are also insufficient, because there …
A Marriage Of Convenience: Batista And The Communists, 1933 - 1944, Charles Clayton Hollenkamp
A Marriage Of Convenience: Batista And The Communists, 1933 - 1944, Charles Clayton Hollenkamp
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This paper examines the relationship between Fulgencio Batista and the Communist Party of Cuba. At odds during the first several years of Batista's rule, when strikes and repression were the topics of the day, the two sides eventually saw in each other a means to an end. In efforts to understand the Cuban Revolution of the late 1950's, historians often portray Batista as a dictatorial puppet of American business and policy. Contrary to this image, in his first regime (1934 until 1944), Batista presided over the creation of a nominal constitutional democracy. To do this he needed the support and …
