The Colored Girl In The Ring: A Guyanese Woman Remembers By Brenda Chester Doharris (Book Review), Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

Brenda Chester DoHarris's The Colored Girl in the Ring: A Guyanese Woman Remembers joins the company of some of the most memorable works of Caribbean literature, those classic accounts of coming-of-age, such as George Lamming's In the Castle of My Skin, V. S. Naipaul's A House for Mr. Biswas, Michael Anthony's The Year in San Fernando, Merle Hodge's Crick Crack, Monkey, Erna Brodber's Jane and Louisa Will Soon Come Home, Zea Edgell's Beka Lamb, Jamaica Kincaid's Annie John, and Beryl Gilroy's Sunlight on Sweet Water. Like most of the bildungsromans - and …


Identity Politics In Search Of Community-Based Development: A Case Study Of The Indigenous Movement In Costa Rica, Susanna Francesca Schaller May 1998

Identity Politics In Search Of Community-Based Development: A Case Study Of The Indigenous Movement In Costa Rica, Susanna Francesca Schaller

Latin American Studies ETDs

Since the early 1980's the Indigenous Movement in Costa Rica has made extraordinary strides toward resolving its demands for political, economic and cultural autonomy. The leadership that has emerged at the forefront of the Movement has been adept at recognizing political opportunities and at utilizing the national and international system in order to build a national movement that maintains its base within the local and regional setting.

This thesis examines the processes by which the Indigenous Movement has begun to transform the inequitable political, social and economic relations that have historically marginalized and oppressed indigenous peoples. The Movement represents an …

My Brother By Jamaica Kincaid (Book Review), Daryl Cumber Dance Feb 1998

My Brother By Jamaica Kincaid (Book Review), Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

In Jamaica Kincaid's six previous autobiographical novels and essays (At the Bottom of the River, 1984; Annie John, 1985; A Small Place, 1988; Annie, Gwen, Lily, Pam and Julie, 1989; Lucy, 1990; and The Autobiography of My Mother, 1996), her readers have the feeling that she has told all about her troubled life in Antigua and her painful emotional conflicts with her family (especially her mother). We discover with her new memoir, My Brother, however, that some things have been just too painful to tell - until now. Clearly the most obvious …

Beryl Gilroy: A Bio-Literary Overview, Daryl Cumber Dance Jan 1998

Beryl Gilroy: A Bio-Literary Overview, Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

In 1992 when I joined the faculty at the University of Richmond, I taught a class in black women's literature to a group of mainly white students who had previously read little or nothing in this body of literature. One young senior--a white male--did a paper comparing the sympathetic portrayal of the white male character in Beryl Gilroy's Stedman and Joanna and Bebe Moore Campbell's Your Blues Ain't Like Mine. His enthusiasm for the rich body of literature to which I had introduced him continued after he graduated, and he often wrote to me about books he was reading …

Heterodoxy, Gender, And The Brazilian Inquisition: Patterns In Religion In The 1590s, Carole A. Myscofski Dec 1997

Heterodoxy, Gender, And The Brazilian Inquisition: Patterns In Religion In The 1590s, Carole A. Myscofski

Carole Myscofski

In 1591, the Portuguese Inquisition visited Salvador, the colonial capital of Brazil. In the course of that and the following year, 80 men and 38 women confessed their sins during two periods of grace, before the tribunal of Visitor General, Notary, and Bailiff (and their Secretary). While the men and women who came before the tribunal to confess shared an understanding of public shame and personal responsibility, they nonetheless diverged in the crimes they admitted and in their attitudes toward their moral duty. This article analyzes the pattern of similarities and differences in men's and women's confessions and relates that …

Masculinidad Y Nación En La Narrativa Decimonónica: El Caso De Sab Y Aves Sin Nido, Cesar Valverde Dec 1997

Masculinidad Y Nación En La Narrativa Decimonónica: El Caso De Sab Y Aves Sin Nido, Cesar Valverde

Cesar Valverde

En las novelas Sab (1841) y Aves sin nido (1889) podemos ver movimientos contrastantes en sus intentos de establecer parámetros para el ser nacional: la primera privilegia la mirada hacia el interior de Cuba, de la ciudad al campo, hacia aquello que es "propio" y que distingue a Cuba de otros espacios, mientras que la segunda mira hacia afuera, del poblado rural hacia la ciudad, desde el interior del Perú hacia más allá de las fronteras. Contrastan también los modelos genéricos y raciales que utilizan: además de tener una mirada "centrípeta" hacia lo raigal de Cuba, Sab problematiza los papeles …


We Speak And Write This Language Against Our Will’: Jews, Hispanics, And The Dilemma Of Ladino-Speaking Sephardim In Early 20th Century New York", Aviva Ben-Ur Dec 1997

We Speak And Write This Language Against Our Will’: Jews, Hispanics, And The Dilemma Of Ladino-Speaking Sephardim In Early 20th Century New York", Aviva Ben-Ur

Aviva Ben-Ur

This article explores interactions of Puerto Ricans and Spanish expats with Ladino-speaking Ottoman Jews (Sephardim) in New York during the first half of the twentieth century, as reported in the U.S. Ladino press. These immigrant periodicals demonstrate that Ladino and Spanish were for the most part mutually intelligible languages. Yes, Sephardim did not always welcome the overtures of Puerto Ricans or Spaniards,


The Role Of The Nossa Senhora Aparecida Festival In Creating Brazilian American Community, Adam Arenson Dec 1997

The Role Of The Nossa Senhora Aparecida Festival In Creating Brazilian American Community, Adam Arenson

Adam Arenson

Once a year, the Brazilians who live in the Boston area come together at St. Anthony Church in Cambridge to celebrate the festival of Nossa Senhora Aparecida (Our Lady who has Appeared), view the statue of the Virgin Mary that has brought miracles to the people of Brazil, and honor to this patroness. The festival, attended by hundreds, is primarily religious but also seems to have important cultural aspects. Is there a Brazilian community? If so, what role does this festival play? The researcher attended the festival in 1997, providing questionnaires in Portuguese and English, taking photographs, and arranging to …
