Voices Of Haitian Women:Letters Of Dislpaced Camp Dwellers In Port-Au-Prince, Nicki Fraser Ms.
Nicki Fraser Ms.
Introduction: On January 12, 2010, an earthquake of unprecedented scale shook the small Caribbean nation of Haiti. The epicenter of the earthquake, which measured 7.0 on the Richter scale, was approximately 25 kilometers west of Port-au-Prince. The earthquake killed an estimated 222,570 people and left 3.7 million people affected one way or the other.1In the summer of 2010, 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) were in camps distributed across Port-au-Prince.2That summer, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), an intergovernmental organization dedicated to the humane and orderly migration, undertook a project in Haiti which involved placing suggestion boxes in IDP camps …

Book Review: Forced Federalism: Contemporary Challenges To Indigenous Nationhood By Jeff Corntassel And Richard C. Witmer Ii, 2012 American University
Book Review: Forced Federalism: Contemporary Challenges To Indigenous Nationhood By Jeff Corntassel And Richard C. Witmer Ii, Ezra Rosser
Ezra Rosser
Rather than having the exclusive U.S.-tribal relationship respected, Indian nations are wrongly forced to deal with state governments that are often hostile to Indian interests. This is the provocative thesis of Forced Federalism. For the last 20 years, from 1988 to the present, tribes have been increasingly seen as emerging contenders vying for resources and playing an expanding role in state economies and politics. The gaming success of some tribes has also subjected Indians to what the authors call “rich Indian racism” that relies upon stereotyping and the categorization of tribes as interest groups rather than independent nations. Though acknowledging …
Government Documents On Rare Earth Minerals, 2012 Purdue University
Government Documents On Rare Earth Minerals, Bert Chapman
Libraries Faculty and Staff Presentations
Rare earth minerals contain unique chemical and physical properties such as lanthanum, are found in small concentrations, need extensive precise processes to separate, and are critical components of modern technologies such as laser guidance systems, personal electronics such as Blackberries, and satellites. The U.S. has some rare earth resources, but is heavily dependent on access to them from from Afghanistan, Bolivia, and China. Losing access to these resources would have significant economic, military, and political implications. This presentation will highlight government information resources on rare earth minerals from agencies such as the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense (DOD), …

Setting The Agenda: Asia And Latin America In The 21st Century, Ariel C. Armony
Center for Latin American Studies Publications
Latin America and Asia are among the world’s fastest growing regions. Trade between Asia and Latin American and Caribbean countries has risen dramatically in recent years. It is undeniable that Asia now plays a formidable role in the economic development of the region. This publication emerges out of the University of Miami’s 2012 “Asia and Latin America in the 21st Century” conference, where leaders from academic, policy, business, and media communities from around the world convened to address the macroeconomic trends, trade relations, and sociopolitical trends that have emerged as the links between Asia and Latin America strengthen.

Book Review: Fragile States, Lohar Brock, Hans-Henrik Holm, Georg Sorensen, Michael Stohl, Hakim Mohandas Amani Williams
Africana Studies Faculty Publications
In an era when good governance features prominently on the global development agenda, there seems to be a corollary spotlight on state fragility. In this book - a quick read that covers much ground - the authors wade into the conceptual waters of state fragility with the following aims: (i) sketching more clearly its conceptual parameters, including its core characteristics; (ii) dissecting its connection to violent conflict; (iii) analyzing the role that international society has played in relation to fragile statehood; and (iv) laying out two proposals for tackling its intractability. These analyses are conducted through the prism of three …

Promoting And Developing Oromummaa, 2012 University of Tennessee - Knoxville
Promoting And Developing Oromummaa, Asafa Jalata
Sociology Publications and Other Works
As any concept, Oromummaa has different meanings on conventional, theoretical, and political, and ideological levels. Although the colonizers of the Oromo deny, most Oromos know their linguistic, cultural, historical, political, and behavioral patterns that have closely connect together all of their sub-identities to the Oromo nation. There is a clear conventional understanding among all Oromo branches and individuals on these issues. The Oromo national movement has gradually expanded the essence and meaning of Oromummaa. The colonization of the Oromo and the disruption of their collective identity and the repression and exploitation of Oromo society have increased the commitment of some …

Review Of The Cowgirls, 2012 University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Review Of The Cowgirls, Karen Morin
Karen M. Morin
If this book suffers from anything it's too much enthusiasm for its subject. Joyce Roach sets out to prove that the cowgirl is our "foremost genuine American heroine," and while this is at least arguable, she tends to overstate her case at the expense of the early suffragists (cowgirls, not they, were the "advance guard of the feminist movement") and in particular at the expense of other western women: "Other frontier women were more or less forgotten with the passing of the frontier. The life of the farm woman, for instance, was never heroic, just miserable . . . and …
Trains Through The Plains The Great Plains Landscape Of Victorian Women Travelers, 2012 Bucknell University
Trains Through The Plains The Great Plains Landscape Of Victorian Women Travelers, Karen M. Morin
Karen M. Morin
The young British novelist Iza Hardy, during her travels to America in 1881-83, anticipated the American West as terra incagnitae, a place completely beyond civilization. Like many other British tourists to America in the late nineteenth century, Hardy traveled extensively throughout the East Coast and South, and took a transcontinental journey to the Pacific Coast by train (Fig. O. Out of her American travels Hardy produced Between Two Oceans: Or, Sketches of American Travel (1884) and a book about Florida. Hardy's coverage of the western portion of her American journey followed the transect the railroad did, with chapters of …
Review Of The Frontiers Of Women's Writing: Women's Narratives And The Rhetoric Of Westward Expansion By Brigitte Georgi-Findlay, 2012 Bucknell University
Review Of The Frontiers Of Women's Writing: Women's Narratives And The Rhetoric Of Westward Expansion By Brigitte Georgi-Findlay, Karen M. Morin
Karen M. Morin
Georgi-Findlay takes on the seemingly impossible task of synthesizing one hundred years of women's writing about American westward expansion. While focusing each chapter on just a few key texts, she draws widely on the works of Anglo-American novelists, journalists, settlers, travelers, tourists, army officers' wives, missionaries, and teachers, writing about a geographical area extending from Mackinaw Island to Puget Sound to Santa Fe. The author constructs a female counterpoint to male renditions of frontier adventure and conquest, but at the same time explores how white women's cultural practices existed in complicity with American territorial acquisition.
The book's three parts are …
Review Of Forgotten Places: Uneven Development In Rural America Edited By Thomas A. Lyson And William W. Falk, 2012 University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Review Of Forgotten Places: Uneven Development In Rural America Edited By Thomas A. Lyson And William W. Falk, Karen Morin
Karen M. Morin
The editors and authors of this fine collection of articles, though mostly sociologists, demonstrate how geography is in a sense destiny to the rural poor. By focusing on nine regions spanning the country from New England to the Rio Grande Valley to the Pacific Northwest, they show how social as well as spatial isolation has created common problems among a rural underclass that is "forgotten" by mainstream America.
Socio-spatial isolation may take many forms, but the outcome for all the places studied is the same: lack of full participation in American economic life. Educational isolation in the Black Belt of …
Review Of Relations Of Rescue: The Search For Female Moral Authority In The American West, 1874-1939, 2012 University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Review Of Relations Of Rescue: The Search For Female Moral Authority In The American West, 1874-1939, Karen Morin
Karen M. Morin
If plenary speeches at the Coalition for Western Women's History conference in the summer of 1992 in Lincoln, Nebraska, are any indication, the 1990s have begun with an apparent methodological consensus by women's historians: that race and class conflict and cooperation, as well as gender differences, must serve as organizing themes for a genuine history of western women. In Relations of Rescue, Peggy Pascoe, professor of history at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, delivers an excellent model for framing such multicultural research. Her starting point for the history of Protestant missionary women in the late nineteenth …
