Construir, Destruir Y Escribir La Ciudad: Iglesia, Industria Y Guerra En Querétaro (1839-1881), Alexander Montoya Prada Nov 2007

Construir, Destruir Y Escribir La Ciudad: Iglesia, Industria Y Guerra En Querétaro (1839-1881), Alexander Montoya Prada

Alexander Montoya Prada

A mediados del siglo XIX en la ciudad mexicana de Querétaro, las fábricas de Cayetano Rubio, el proceso de desamortización de bienes de la Iglesia y el sitio militar de 1867 contra las tropas del emperador Maximiliano, cambiaron su paisaje urbano y la forma en que lo vivían e interpretaban los lugareños y visitantes. La industria, la iglesia y la guerra, se constituían en tres dimensiones fundamentales de la historia y la vida de la ciudad, que son tratadas en la “Guía del viajero en Querétaro. Apuntes históricos, geográficos y estadísticos de la ciudad”, escrita por Celestino Díaz. Sobre este …


The Descendants Of Enslaved Africans, Gloria Gordon Phd May 2007

The Descendants Of Enslaved Africans, Gloria Gordon Phd

Gloria Gordon PhD

This paper discusses the implications for British culture of superimposing on enslaved Africans and Europeans black and white cultures as a means of establishing power differentials between members of the two groups from the 16th century onwards. The personal and collaborative experiential action research and inquiry research methods used to surface the data are shared. The black-white duality is defined and discussed in terms of how it works to hold blacks and whites in a dysfunctional symbiotic oppositional relationship to one another. The social distance strategies embedded in British culture to maintain and perpetuate these power differentials are crystallised as …


Undermining Individual And Collective Citizenship: The Impact Of Felon Exclusion Laws On The African-American Community, S. David Mitchell Apr 2007

Undermining Individual And Collective Citizenship: The Impact Of Felon Exclusion Laws On The African-American Community, S. David Mitchell

S. David Mitchell

Felon exclusion laws are jurisdiction-specific, post-conviction statutory restrictions that prohibit convicted felons from exercising a host of legal rights, most notably the right to vote. The professed intent of these laws is to punish convicted felons equally without regard for the demographic characteristics of each individual, including race, class, or gender. Felon exclusion laws, however, have a disproportionate impact on African-American males and, by extension, on the residential communities from which many convicted felons come. Thus, felon exclusion laws not only relegate African-American convicted felons to a position of second-class citizenship, but the laws also diminish the collective citizenship of …


Introduction: Movement Politics And Chicano Studies, Anna O. Oleary Jan 2007

Introduction: Movement Politics And Chicano Studies, Anna O. Oleary

Anna Ochoa OLeary

For most students currently entering post-secondary education institutions, El Movimiento is little studied outside classes that specifically focus on topics related to the history and culture of Chicanos/as. Perhaps even less studied is the movement’s most enduring legacy: the establishment of Chicano Studies as an academic field. Indeed, Chicano/a Studies today provides scholars with the academic infrastructure and scholarly communities to advance the research and teaching of topics important to Chicanas and Chicanos.

Predicting Transition And Adjustment To College: Minority Biomedical And Behavioral Science Students’ First Year Of College, Sylvia Hurtado, June Chang, Victor Saenz, Lorelle Espinosa, Nolan Cabrera, Oscar Cerna

Nolan L. Cabrera

The purpose of this study is to explore key factors that impact the college transition of aspiring underrepresented minority students in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, in comparison with White, Asian students and non-science minority students. We examined successful management of the academic environment and sense of belonging during the first college year. Longitudinal data were derived from the Higher Education Research Institute’s (HERI) 2004 Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Freshman Survey and the 2005 Your First College Year (YFCY) Survey. Using a reformulation of the integration model (Nora, Barlow, and Crisp, 2005), we find concerns about college financing, negotiating …

Breaking Their Silence: Mizrahi Women And The Israeli Feminist Movement, Henriette Dahan Kalev Jan 2007

Breaking Their Silence: Mizrahi Women And The Israeli Feminist Movement, Henriette Dahan Kalev

henriette dahan kalev

Political scientists tend to examine the impact of grass roots activism in terms of visible output in the public sphere: for instance, how many laws were legislated, which desired policies came about, and whether decision-makers changed their minds as a result of grass roots pressure. In this fashion, feminist movements are often evaluated on the basis of the impact they make, even though changes in women's status are the outcome of many factors -- not all of them visible in the public sphere. Social changes most often begin with a shift in consciousness reinforced by economic and political factors, although …
