Housing Equity In Golden Gate Village, Nicole White
Social Justice | Senior Theses
For generations, the African American community has faced many forms of housing discrimination that have created major inequalities in their everyday lived experiences (Lockwood, 2020). This study explores the long-lasting effects of discriminatory housing policies in creating disparate housing conditions within the public housing community in Marin City called Golden Gate Village, as well as the role of the Marin Housing Authority in practices of displacement and neglect. The methodology for the study included seven different interviews with Golden Gate Village residents to obtain knowledge about the community as well as grasp an understanding of the lived experiences of the …
Han-Nationalism Throughout The Ages,

Han-Nationalism Throughout The Ages, Weiying Wu
Swarthmore Undergraduate History Journal
Beginning in the 1980s, a trend of traditional studies known as “guo xue,” (国学) meaning national studies, proliferated in the wake of socioeconomic changes in China. In particular, it encompassed the revival of Confucianism, giving rise to related activity such as the establishment of “national studies institutes” (国学院) and “Han study centers”. Yet despite its popularity, the legitimacy of “national studies” came under the critical scrutiny of historians who argue that that contemporary “national studies” have either consciously or subconsciously co-opted Han traditions and practices over other ethnic cultures that made up the social fabric of past and present China, …

(Derrida, 2000, p.131)
This research project is an attempt to bridge the gap between the philosophical ideals of hospitality and the hospitality industry, by examining how a carefully considered hospitality operation impacted an educational institution over the course of eight years. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the application of the philosophical ideals to a commercial hospitality setting yielded profoundly positive results. The primary research was compiled by the author conducting a case study of her own food business, Luncheonette which was located in the National College of …

Dancers Of The Book: Yemenite, Persian, And Kurdish Jewish Dance, Quinn Bicer
Anthós
Despite the cultural significance of dance in Jewish communities around the world, research into Middle Eastern Jewish dance outside of the modern nation-state of Israel is sorely under-researched. This article aims to help rectify this by focusing on Yemenite, Persian/Iranian, and Kurdish Jewish dance and explores how these dancers have functioned and been received within the societies they have been a part of. The methods that have gone into this article are a combination of analyzing primary source recorded dances and existing secondary source research into the dance of these communities. Through these methods, this article reveals how Yemenite, Iranian, …

Racist Or Radical? The Strange Case Of Robert Moses And The Building Of New York City's Aquatics Infrastructure, Steven N. Waller Ph.D., James H. Bemiller J.D., Jason L. Scott Ph.D.
International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education
Who was Robert Moses? In this article, we want to cast a bright light on Robert Moses as a visionary urban planner, which included the comprehensive planning of the outdoor and indoor aquatic infrastructure for New York City. Second, we want to highlight some of his administration's significant accomplishments and challenges in providing aquatics opportunities for diverse populations, including people of color. Finally, we aspire to illustrate what happens when officials with power and authority in local government are permitted to operate without scrutiny and are unbeholden to a meaningful series of checks and balances. Robert Moses’ tenure as a …

Vainuku, T., & Duffy, R. (Directors). (2022). Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’T Exist [Documentary]. Netflix., Ashley P. Ferrell
Feminist Pedagogy
Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist (2022) revisits the complicated fame and misfortune of former college football player Manti Te’o. The documentary traces the arc of Te’o’s athletic career at the University of Notre Dame alongside his relationship with his girlfriend that resulted in intense public scrutiny and gendered ridicule in 2013. Untold offers feminist pedagogues a catalyst for engaging students in critical discourse around the relationships between collegiate sport and race, gender, and sexuality. In this review, I provide a summary of the documentary’s main points and framing, and then discuss at least two ways in which this media …

Symposium Review: Exiled Among Nations: German And Mennonite Mythologies In A Transnational Age—John P.R. Eicher, Kenneth Burkholder, Nathan N. Zook, John P.R. Eicher
Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies
In his book Exiled Among Nations: German and Mennonite Mythologies in a Transnational Age, historian John P.R. Eicher chronicles the stories of two Mennonite colonies transplanted during the rise of nationalism. As the introduction makes clear, though, the book is more than a mere record of history; it aims to show how “mobile populations fashion collective narratives as nations, religions, and diasporas.” The book can therefore be understood on two different levels. It acts as a straightforward history from 1874 to 1945, of the migrant Menno Colony’s (from Canada) and the refugee Fernheim Colony’s (from Russia) inception in Paraguay. As …

Tariqa Shattariyya (Ts) And Spiritual Tourism In Pariaman, Indonesia, Ziaulhaq Hidayat
International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
Tariqa Shattariyya (TS) is a transnational spiritual flow that has become part of the Pariaman community’s culture in Indonesia. This movement exists at all levels of the people, and is exemplivied in the Basapa ceremony, which is an example of spiritual tourism in the TS tradition. The Basapa ceremony has succeeded in engaging the local community and visitors in a range of spiritual activity performances. This study aims to evaluate Tariqa Shattariyya (TS) in Pariaman, Indonesia. A qualitative approach is used to explore, understand, and interpret the data obtained. The data collected were sourced from pilgrims, grave managers, traders, and …

Towards An Experimental Bibliography Of Hemispheric Reconstruction Newspapers, Joshua Ortiz Baco, Benjamin Charles Germain Lee, Jim Casey, Sarah H. Salter
Criticism
Digital collections of newspapers have drawn broader attention to the fragmented and scattered print histories of minoritized communities. Attempts to survey these histories through bibliography, however, quickly meet with a fundamental problem: the practice of bibliographic description calls for creating a static record of social affiliations. Given the overwhelming scholarly consensus that categories such as race, ethnicity, and language are socially constructed, this article introduces an experimental bibliographic method for mapping the vast landscape of historical newspapers. This method extends the machine learning affordances of a recent project called Newspaper Navigator to enumerate the newspapers in Chronicling America according to …
International Student Orientations: Indian Students At American Universities Around The Turn Of The Twentieth Century,

International Student Orientations: Indian Students At American Universities Around The Turn Of The Twentieth Century, Param S. Ajmera
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation examines the writings and experiences of five Indian international students in the United States during late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By drawing attention to these students, I attend to the ways in which notions of freedom, progress, and inclusivity associated with American higher education, and liberalism more generally, are related to structures of racialized and colonial dispossession in India. I build these arguments by reading archival sources such as university administrative records, student publications, personal and official correspondence, as well as understudied aesthetic works, such as memoirs, travel narratives, essays, doctoral dissertations, and public lectures. These historical …

Does Political Advertising Persuade? A Quantitative Assessment Of The Effects Of Campaign Contact In The Context Of Race, Ethnicity, And Immigrant Origin In New York City Council Primary Elections From 2001 Through 2017, Laura M. Tamman
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Through a quantitative analysis of the relationship between New York city council campaigns’ spending and election results between 2001 and 2017, controlling for key factors such as incumbency, I find substantial and statistically significant positive effects for radio advertising on election outcomes. I find small but significant effects for mail, and smaller sized effects for canvassing. My findings underscore the need for further study of the role of ethnic and community media outlets, such as radio, in shaping voter behavior. Moreover, I argue that the fixation of the current persuasion literature on television ads in presidential general elections misses critical …

El calentamiento global y sus devastadores efectos a escala planetaria se coloca cada vez más en la agenda pública y en la atención de gobiernos y actores sociales involucrados en la materia. Las más recientes discusiones han asumido el término Antropoceno para nombrar el rol central de la actividad humana en los cambios geológicos y climáticos que está experimentando el planeta. Bajo la premisa que dichos cambios no se experimentan de manera uniforme en las distintas regiones del mundo, este artículo propone una discusión sobre las formas de comprensión del cambio climático y la intervención humana localmente situadas. Se argumenta …

La aceleración e intensidad de los actuales procesos migratorios en diversas partes del mundo nos reta a hilar fino para poder distinguir las particularidades de las diferentes maneras en que se producen las movilidades humanas. La migración por causas económicas, políticas, sociales y por los altos índices de violencia ha acaparado la mayor atención en nuestros análisis. Si bien los desplazamientos ambientales forzados están sobre la mesa de los debates, hoy es más importante que nunca continuar discusiones y propuestas que posibiliten la formulación de acciones y políticas que los atiendan. Este artículo se acerca, en la primera parte, a …

Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
El artículo parte de la pregunta ¿los jóvenes de la Reserva de la Biósfera Pantanos de Centla (RBPC) se han formado con el objetivo de garantizar la conservación del Área Natural Protegida (ANP)? El análisis muestra que la inquietud por el cuidado del medio ambiente y, por ende, de la RBPC depende de la relación entre el Estado de Tabasco, la industria del petróleo y la educación. Instituciones que, como se evidencia en el caso de los jóvenes de Quintín Arauz, se encuentran desvinculadas. Esta falta de comunicación impide consolidar una educación media superior que forme sujetos en busca de …

La persistencia en la degradación ambiental global no es una cuestión exclusiva de potencias y bloques económico-políticos. Es también un problema (trouble) que nos perturba y nos interpela. Bajo este contexto, el presente trabajo reflexiona sobre cómo específicamente la antropología está siendo interpelada por los expertos que han hablado del antropoceno, como categoría que señala la responsabilidad de ‘la humanidad’ en el cambio climático. Lejos de incorporar irreflexivamente tal perspectiva, ratificamos la necesidad ofrecer análisis que permitan comprender la producción de diferencias y desigualdades entre las sociedades humanas y los ejercicios de poder que median la regulación …

En este artículo analizaré los vínculos creados entre las políticas de conservación ambiental, las aseveraciones sobre una crisis civilizatoria y ambiental global, y la oferta ecoturística en Chiapas, sur de México, bajo la categoría de utopía ecológica. Se analiza a partir de una revisión documental, audiovisual, de literatura especializada y una investigación etnográfica en la comunidad lacandona de Nahá, en la Selva Lacandona. Este territorio fue gestionado como Área Natural Protegida, por petición local y estrategia de mitigación gubernamental; es un espacio propicio para que el ecoturismo sea expuesto como recurso laboral rentable, aunque también es considerado una plataforma para …

Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Mario Payeras (Chimaltenango, Guatemala 1940 – México, D.F. 1995) fue poeta, narrador, ensayista y militante revolucionario guatemalteco. Fue uno de los fundadores del Ejército Guerrillero de los Pobres, uno de los principales movimientos revolucionarios de las décadas del conflicto armado en Guatemala (1960-1996). Su permanencia en las selvas del Ixcán (al norte de Guatemala) durante ese periódo inspiró gran parte de su obra poética y literaria que, en una parte, da cuenta de reflexiones y vivencias de la militancia en clandestinidad. Tal es el caso del poemario Poemas de la Zona Reina (1997) y el relato testimonial Los días …

¿Cómo se siente el cambio climático? Personal, acechante, indiscriminado. Es una sombra de tiempo que nos cubre poco a poco, consumiendo la luz, pero dejándonos ver lo que todavía recordaremos de nuestro planeta, de cuando teníamos paisajes naturales. O quizás es una resonancia ascendente que asecha a una sociedad sorda. Aunque sentimos las vibraciones del cambio, seguimos adelante, hacia el desarrollo, mientras el eco absoluto del pasado nos envuelve. Este fotoensayo reúne 9 fotografías con breves comentarios para mostrar visualmente las formas del cambio climático en Chiapas y la frontera sur de México.
