Immigrants From Cabo Verde In Italy: History And Paths Of Socio-Educative Integration, Clara Silva
Immigrants From Cabo Verde In Italy: History And Paths Of Socio-Educative Integration, Clara Silva
Journal of Cape Verdean Studies
Cape Verdean migration to Italy started in the early sixties of the nineteenth century as an exclusively female one, mostly caused by the demand for domestic workers by bourgeois families. In the late eighties, the Cape Verdean community migrated to Italy was still composed of more than 90% of women. In 1990, the introduction of a legislation setting forth the right to family reunification allowed many women to reunite with their husbands and children remained in their homeland. In Italy, the gradual social inclusion process and the creation of a network of Cape Verdean migrants’ association, allowed to overcome all …
Ending Slavery In Cabo Verde: Between Manumission And Emancipation, 1856-1876, Lumumba H. Shabaka
Ending Slavery In Cabo Verde: Between Manumission And Emancipation, 1856-1876, Lumumba H. Shabaka
Journal of Cape Verdean Studies
This article explores the ending of slavery in Cabo Verde by using the Committee of Protection of Slaves and Freed-person. Rather than just following the directives from Lisbon, it shows that local leaders were reluctant to establish the institution and cautiously approached the abolition of slavery in the colony. Nevertheless, enslaved Africans and their descendants fully exploited the new laws to gain nominal freedom. Like other parts of the Atlantic world, being freed was a state between manumission and emancipation, because there were struggles over payments, ‘rights’ for the manumitted individuals and mandatory seven years services were required by law.
“This Country Does Not Have My Back!”: Youth Experiences With A Parent Threatened By Deportation, Leila Rosa
“This Country Does Not Have My Back!”: Youth Experiences With A Parent Threatened By Deportation, Leila Rosa
Journal of Cape Verdean Studies
Using exploratory case study methodology and a critical theoretical perspective, this study examined the impact of parental deportation on three Cape Verdean youths, in one of the largest Cape Verdean immigrant communities in Southeast New England. A particularly focus is given to their schooling experiences following parental deportation as well as their understanding of the event of parental deportation. Participants expressed feeling isolated and disconnected in school and from extended family following their parents’ involvement with Immigration services. They questioned or denied their American identity despite being citizens by birth. They described fears and feelings of uncertainty about their future. …
Cape Verde And Its Diaspora: Economic Transnationalism And Homeland Development, João Resende-Santos
Cape Verde And Its Diaspora: Economic Transnationalism And Homeland Development, João Resende-Santos
Journal of Cape Verdean Studies
This study examines the historical role of the diaspora in Cape Verde’s socioeconomic development. It analyzes the prospects and limitations of its diaspora as a transnational economic development resource. While it is policy oriented, the study offers a conceptual framework to analyze its diaspora engagement policies and efforts since 1975. Cape Verde has emerged as a success story. The diaspora’s contribution was one of the four essential factors behind this relative success: migration and remittances, overseas development assistance, large scale public investments, and reasonably sound policies and stewardship of public finances. Today Cape Verde confronts an adverse set of conditions …

Cabo Verde: Do Babel Inicial À Emergência De Uma Ordem Linguística, Manuel Veiga
Cabo Verde: Do Babel Inicial À Emergência De Uma Ordem Linguística, Manuel Veiga
Journal of Cape Verdean Studies
O contacto de línguas, em Cabo Verde, evoluiu de um babel inicial, para a emergência de um crioulo, estruturalmente uno, mas com actualizações regionais e matizes fonéticas, morfológicas, lexicais e sintácticas que enriquecem a nossa língua materna, sem comprometer a sua "superior unidade".
As diferenças são devedoras de factores como: as línguas matrizes originárias; o peso demográfico dessas línguas; o aparecimento cedo de mestiços e do crioulo como respectiva língua materna; a tolerância linguística imposta pelas circunstâncias (número reduzido de dominadores brancos; a iliteracia prevalecente; a Carta Régia de 1472 que impunha o comercio escravocrata com "novidades da terra"; a …
Elitizados, Dinâmicas De Transformação Da Moderna Elite Política Administrativa Cabo-Verdiana, Crisanto Barros
Elitizados, Dinâmicas De Transformação Da Moderna Elite Política Administrativa Cabo-Verdiana, Crisanto Barros
Journal of Cape Verdean Studies
Diversos estudos sobre dinâmicas de configuração das elites políticas na África subsariana (Daloz, 1999; Daloz e Chabal, 1999; Augé, 2005) e no leste europeu (Bauquet, 2006) tendem a enfatizar processos de reprodução da velha elite política que se recicla e se renova no interior de sistemas políticos formalmente competitivos graças à sua capacidade de reconversão o seu capital político em capital económico e vice-versa. Outras vezes, procura-se evidenciar processos de formação de elites em que o Partido e o Estado desempenham um papel preponderante na emergência de novas elites com alguma dimensão de artificialidade (Farmer, 1999).

“Free Men Name Themselves”: U.S. Cape Verdeans & Black Identity Politics In The Era Of Revolutions, 1955-75, Aminah Pilgrim
“Free Men Name Themselves”: U.S. Cape Verdeans & Black Identity Politics In The Era Of Revolutions, 1955-75, Aminah Pilgrim
Journal of Cape Verdean Studies
Contrary to widely held assumptions about Cape Verdean immigrants in the US – based on oral folklore and early historiography - the population was never "confused" about their collective identity. Individuals and groups of Cape Verdeans wrestled with US racial ideology just as they struggled to make new lives for themselves and their families abroad. The men and women confronted African-American or "black" identity politics from the moment of their arrivals upon these shores, and chose very deliberate strategies for building community, re-inventing their lives and creating pathways for survival and resistance. One exceptional tool for providing others with a …

D'Nos Manera - Gender, Collective Identity And Leadership In The Cape Verdean Community In The United States, Terza Alice Silva Lima-Neves
Journal of Cape Verdean Studies
This study examines the role of gender relations in modern diaspora communities by presenting Cape Verdeans in the United States as an understudied case within African diasporic experiences. Cape Verdean communities and their organizations have existed in the United States since the 1800s. The levels of intensity with which these organizations operate have shifted over time based on the realities of the host country and the homeland. As a labor diaspora, it will take the Cape Verdean community in the US several generations to shift from labor to skilled diaspora. This study argues that three factors impact the progress of …

Closer Than You Think: The Influence Of Border Bias On Perceptions Of Mapped Hazards, Sarah D. Gardiner
Closer Than You Think: The Influence Of Border Bias On Perceptions Of Mapped Hazards, Sarah D. Gardiner
Undergraduate Review
In a replication and extension of “border bias” research conducted by Mishra and Mishra (2010) and Molloy and colleagues (2012; 2013), who found that mapped threats within state borders were judged to be a greater risk than equidistant out of state threats, the effects of color (added to indicate zones of potential exposure) and a “double border” (on maps and in the lab) were measured. Support was found for border bias in that state boundaries appeared to influence risk perception. As hypothesized, there was also a significant effect for color boundaries, and participants avoided a location shown at an equidistant …
Personality Traits In Parkinson's Disease, Lindsey Clark
Personality Traits In Parkinson's Disease, Lindsey Clark
Undergraduate Review
Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been associated with certain personality characteristics, including low novelty seeking and high harm avoidance, but examination of the literature reveals mixed results. One limitation of studies to date is their failure to examine gender differences or to even include both male and female participants in their studies. The aim of the present study was to examine gender differences in personality traits among individuals with and without PD. Twenty-three non-demented PD patients (12F/11M) and 21 age and education matched normal control adults (NC; 11F/10M) were administered the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), a 240-item self-report questionnaire assessing …
From Goal-Striving To "Right Intention": A Grounded Theory Analysis Of Interviews With Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Participants, Julia Field
Undergraduate Review
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) helps people to manage stress reactivity through contemplative practices such as meditation. The creator of the program, Kabat-Zinn, (1994) defines mindfulness as “…paying attention in a particular way; on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally” (p. 4). Shapiro et al. (2006) clarified this definition as consisting of three mechanisms of mindfulness. In particular, their mechanism “intention” captures Kabat-Zinn’s phrase “on purpose.” Historically, mindfulness practices were intended to cultivate compassion and enlightenment; thus, these should be included in a psychological model of mindfulness (Shapiro & Schwartz, 2000). In keeping with their approach, this project explored the …
Is The U.S. Missing Out? The Effects Of Parental Leave Benefits On Business, Katharine J. West
Is The U.S. Missing Out? The Effects Of Parental Leave Benefits On Business, Katharine J. West
Undergraduate Review
The United States has the fewest mandatory parental benefits of all the leading nations in the world. However, it would be economically beneficial to both employers and employees if a more comprehensive leave program were to be offered in the United States. Data from European countries, that do have paid leave programs, shows an increase in the labor force and no economic loss after the mandated policies went into effect. Turnover is quite costly to a firm and studies of paid leave programs show that paid leave is associated with higher retention rates. Firms that have implemented paid leave policies …
The Online Sex Sting, Michael Cryan
The Online Sex Sting, Michael Cryan
Undergraduate Review
The Youth Internet Safety Surveys are indicative of a small subset of minors who have had contact with sexual offenders in person. Internet sex stings serve to target these adults through the use of police deception, but their use has been on the decline. Sexual offenders are a heterogeneous group; laws often mistakenly lump these various members together. This paper discusses different sources that can take responsible action to prevent online predators from reaching minors and the issue of vigilantism against offenders. Our current laws on sexual predators do not reflect the deeper, more prevalent issue of acquaintance rape.
