Els Tristos Tròpics De Joan Bordoy, Emigrant A Amèrica I Terrorista Accidental, Antoni Pizà
Els Tristos Tròpics De Joan Bordoy, Emigrant A Amèrica I Terrorista Accidental, Antoni Pizà
Publications and Research
El 7 de novembre del 1933, Joan Bordoy va intentar cometre el que seria el darrer acte d’heroïcitat en la seva peripatètica vida. Aprofitant l’entusiasme d’una insurrecció popular a l’Havana, va unir-se a un grup de revolucionaris del grup ABC, considerats per alguns com a terroristes, per assaltar i ocupar la Jefatura de Policía de l’Havana. Si bé, l’atac en principi va tenir èxit, en qüestió d’una hora els militars van recuperar la caserna.
Leaking Women: A Genealogy Of Gendered And Racialized Flow, Michelle Fine
Leaking Women: A Genealogy Of Gendered And Racialized Flow, Michelle Fine
Publications and Research
Through a feminist and critical race analytic, this paper theorizes the disruptions evoked by leaky women—actually doubly leaky women—those whose nipples, peri-menopausal uterus’ and mouths have “leaked” in ways that rupture/stain/expose the white-patriarchal-capitalist enclosure of work, home and the streets and then dared to leak again by suing for justice in court. In a closing coda, I address the race/class policing dynamics between she who leaks and the “respectable” [usually white] women recruited to plaster up the hole and cauterize the leaker.

Populations are often divided categorically into distinct racial/ethnic groups based on social rather than biological constructs. Genetic ancestry has been suggested as an alternative to this categorization. Herein, we typed over 450,000 CpG sites in whole blood of 573 individuals of diverse Hispanic origin who also had high-density genotype data. We found that both self- identified ethnicity and genetically determined ancestry were each significantly associated with methylation levels at 916 and 194 CpGs, respectively, and that shared genomic ancestry accounted for a median of 75.7% (IQR 45.8% to 92%) of the variance in methylation associated with ethnicity. There was a …

Chinese Americans searched for their identities and strove for achievement in the United States. Respect for the elders is considered as one of the outstanding virtues of Chinese culture. The importance of this trait is underscored via its record-keeping traditions and clan genealogies called Jiapu which was fostered by centuries of Confucian philosophy. Some of the history of Chinese in America can in fact be found not only in China but also internationally around the globe. In this paper, the author will share her experiences and ideas on building and enhancing family history research through understanding the major components in …

The accomplishments and interests of the villa’s owners are discussed; and the current status and use of the surviving eleven villas are …
