Gray Zones Of Modern Genocide, Megan Dale Lee
Gray Zones Of Modern Genocide, Megan Dale Lee
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Italian-Jewish chemist and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi wrote in his work The Drowned and the Saved about the "Gray Zone," or holding place for all things difficult to categorize about his experiences in the Nazi camp Auschwitz. Because human tendency is to divide things in a rigid dichotomy, he argued, anything without a set role is brushed aside. I have extended this Gray Zone to include mutually shared situations from modern genocide including: the relationship of race/land to genocide, the "Forced Victim-Perpetrator" (victim forced to commit atrocities against his or her own people), and the complex international reaction to genocidal …
Intern At The Harriman-Nielsen Farm: Where To Begin?, Nana Mikkelsen
Intern At The Harriman-Nielsen Farm: Where To Begin?, Nana Mikkelsen
The Bridge
During the months of October and November 2008, I interned on the Harriman-Nielsen Farm in Hampton, Iowa. The Danish American Heritage Society was looking for a Danish intern to assist the Harriman-Nielsen Farm board in the process of creating an interpretive exhibition, which would tell the stories of the estate. I immediately thought it would be a good place for me to apply my professional training in a combination of dramaturgy and museology. I find it interesting to introduce theatre elements into a museum context.

When New York is mentioned, it seems that thoughts inevitably tum to a very large city, tall buildings, and with sidewalks and streets crowded with unfriendly people. The latter is only partially true, but it fits the common understanding, or perhaps one should say, misunderstanding, of the city and, more importantly, the state.

An American Presidential Election In The Eyes Of A European Observer, Louis Christensen

After "election fever" ran rampant in the United States throughout the year 2008 and Europe was also "running a temperature," it might raise a few eyebrows to read what a European observer wrote home after having attended the presidential election in 1848.

On an earlier occasion, I have written that there is only one political party in America, the only one possible in a republic: the Democratic [in the original sense of the term, i.e. rule by the people]. It is a party that has many branches with the same political viewpoints. Nevertheless, they differ from each other on several points, which they defend in their various newspapers. They try to promote their opinions, views, and political creeds with the public through candidates whom they nominate for office in elections--first and foremost, the presidential election.
Three Short Stories By Carl Hansen, J. R. Christianson
Three Short Stories By Carl Hansen, J. R. Christianson
The Bridge
Translator's Note. The Danish-American author, Carl Hansen, was born in Jonstrup near Holbcek in 1860, emigrated to America in 1885, taught for a number of years at Danebod Folk School in Tyler, Minnesota, and died in Seattle in 1916. Enok Mortensen once described him as follows:
"[He] had attended university classes in Denmark and studied at the state agricultural school. He knew something about pharmacology, a lot about veterinary medicine, and much about literature and philosophy ... He was a popular teacher. Each Saturday he gave a lecture-often on classics of Danish literature, and the students sat spellbound as he …

Danishness is flourishing in the U.S.A. at the dawn of the twenty-first century, and it is not difficult to find this Danishness, or rather, to find what Americans consider to be Danishness. When the Danish media focus on Danishness in the U.S., they tend to highlight two areas: Solvang, California, the so-called "Danish Capital of America," and the two "Danish Villages," Elk Horn and Kimballton, Iowa. Today, Solvang has a population of around 5,000 and Elk Horn/ Kimballton around 1,000. However, estimates have 1.5 million tourists visiting Solvang and 80,000 visiting Elk Horn/Kimballton annually. Dannebrog waves on high in both …

Digging Paradise: Historical And Archeological Miscellany Of The U.S. Virgin Islands, Kenneth Baumgardt
The Bridge
During the 1980's and 1990's, the firm of MAAR Associates of Newark, Delaware, conducted more than thirty archeological investigations of the prehistoric sites and Danish Plantations of the U. S. Virgin Islands. These studies were conducted to fulfill the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act prior to proposed hotel construction there. However, after the islands were devastated by Hurricane Hugo in 1987, many of these projects were never built. Nonetheless, a great volume of information about the history and prehistory of the Virgin Islands was collected. This study will provide a compilation of some of the discoveries made during …

Excerpts From The Course Of My Life, Jens Hansen, Edward A. Hansen

Jens and Maren Stine Rasmusdatter came from the small island of Mom, Denmark. On a larger map of Denmark, Mon is a scarcely discernible plot of separated land, with chalk cliffs on its eastern seaboard and sandy beaches on the other. Stege is its chief town, set by an inlet called Noret and surrounded by verdant fields and forests. It is an idyllic spot, with its own culture and legends. Residents love it. Present day tourists are charmed by it.
From this fabled island, Jens Hansen made his first journey to America. He remembers it as happening in the winter …

Managing The American Tourist Experience In Ireland: An Emotional Context, Angela Wright
Dept. of Organisation & Professional Development Publications
The special relationship that exists between the United States of America and the island of Ireland has its origins predominantly in emigration. Through several centuries, the interaction generated by familial ties has steadily developed into a strong and lasting bond irrevocably linking both nations. The relationship between the United States of America and Ireland has provided the impetus for a continual flow of traffic across the Atlantic. This movement of people and vessels to and fro, engaged in the varied tasks of commerce, family interaction, and leisure, created a new energy for the tourism industry sector in Ireland which continues …
