The Capital Insurrection And The Puerto Rican Summer Uprising, Pedro Caban
The Capital Insurrection And The Puerto Rican Summer Uprising, Pedro Caban
Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship
The Capital insurrection in Washington DC was not an anomaly in American Politics. It was the latest instance of a history of violence by white supremacists to preserve their power and status at the cost of democracy. The uprising in Puerto Rico in Summer 2019 was a massive social movement to restore democracy by removing a corrupt government that was unaccountable to the people,

Robert H. Pruyn: An Albany Yankee In The Tycoon's Court, Susanna Fessler
Campus Conversations in Standish
Robert H. Pruyn (1815-1882), a "good Dutchman" of Albany, served as the second American foreign minister to Japan, 1861-1865. This was a time of civil war in the States, and a time of great civil unrest in Japan. Pruyn prided himself both on his diplomacy and his appreciation of Japanese culture. This talk will focus on some of the lesser-known details of his experience as revealed in his many personal letters home, held by the Albany Institute of History and Art.

Promesa, Puerto Rico And The American Empire, Pedro Caban
Promesa, Puerto Rico And The American Empire, Pedro Caban
Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship
As the United States ascended to hyper-power status during the late 1970s, it changed colonial policy in Puerto Rico. The change, which included the elimination of favorable tax legislation and demilitarization, devastated Puerto Rico’s economy. Puerto Rico borrowed heavily in a failed effort to offset the dramatic decline in capital inflows. The federal government enacted PROMESA after Puerto Rico announced it could not repay the debt. The law was designed to restore Puerto Rico to financial solvency by imposing oppressive austerity measures. PROMESA was a watershed event because it stripped Puerto Rico of the limited sovereignty the federal government had …
Puerto Ricans As Contingent Citizens: Shifting Mandated Identities And Imperial Disjunctures, Pedro Caban
Puerto Ricans As Contingent Citizens: Shifting Mandated Identities And Imperial Disjunctures, Pedro Caban
Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship
In 1917 the United States Congress imposed citizenship on the inhabitants of Puerto Rico. It was a contingent citizenship subject to legal redefi nition and tailored to Puerto Rico’s colonial status within the U.S. empire. Many scholars have argued that racism was determinative in the decision to consign Puerto Ricans a diminished citizenship. But it is necessary to point out that the U.S. had crafted an adaptive racial narrative that distinguished among racialized people under its sovereignty in terms of their capacities for self-government and ability to comprehend Anglo-Saxon political and legal institutions. Moreover, in addition to racism, strategic considerations …

Puerto Rican Studies: Changing Islands Of Knowledge, Pedro Caban
Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship

It also traces the trajectory of Puerto Rican Studies scholarship. It summarizes the diverse research priorities and competing intellectual currents in the prevailing scholarship. …

From Challenge To Absorption: The Changing Face Of Latino Studies, Pedro Caban
From Challenge To Absorption: The Changing Face Of Latino Studies, Pedro Caban
Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship
Over the last three decades Latino studies scholarship has gained increased academic acceptance. However, many administrators continue to doubt the wisdom of sustaining autonomous Latino studies departments, and are devising alternative approaches for incorporating Latino-based knowledge into the university’s mission. This article discusses the academy’s response to the emergence of Latino studies and explores a range of consequences for the field of two institutional arrangements that universities appear to privilege: the horizontal fusion with Latin American Studies, and a vertical absorption into centers for the study of race and ethnic or absorption into American studies.
Common Origins/"Different" Identities In Two Kaqchikel Maya Towns, Walter E. Little
Common Origins/"Different" Identities In Two Kaqchikel Maya Towns, Walter E. Little
Anthropology Faculty Scholarship
Kaqchikel Maya residents of San Antonio Aguas Calientes and Santa Catarina Barahona (neighboring towns in Guatemala) tell the same origin story. This story is used to root historically their concepts of collective identity and community. However, residents in each town hold that those in the other town have no real claim to the story. Both towns can equally claim this origin story, but the debate between residents of these towns offers an opportunity to discuss how the meaning of place is related to the historical and ethnographic contexts of which that place's residents are part. By weighing the story and …

Puerto Rico: State Formation In A Colonial Context, Pedro Caban
Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship
This article examines U.S. Puerto Rico relations during the American century through the prism of the colonial state and identifies eight periods of fundamental political and economic change that altered the conduct of U.S. colonial practice in Puerto Rico. These periods witnessed the emergence, ascendancy and decline of local political coalitions that competed for control of the control state. The coalitions articulated distinct economic projects and pursued different strategies to resolve Puerto Rico's status as an unincorporated territorial possession. Each period was also marked by insular economic restructuring precipitated by shifts in U.S. fiscal policies and changes in the economy, …

Home As A Place Of Exhibition And Performance: Mayan Household Transformations In Guatemala, Walter E. Little
Anthropology Faculty Scholarship
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the town of San Antonio Aguas Calientes, Guatemala, has been incorporated into transnational movements of people, commodities, and ideas through tourism, development, and religious evangelism. The Kaqchikel Mayas living there have long looked outward from their community as they embraced, ignored, or criticized these global flows. Contemporary Kaqchikel Mayas have incorporated these global flows into the organization and maintenance of their households, while giving them a local interpretation. Some families have made their homes a place to enact their culture through exhibitions and performances for tourists. Such performances are indicative of the strategies …
