Why Is Boston University Still In Chelsea?, Glenn Jacobs
Why Is Boston University Still In Chelsea?, Glenn Jacobs
New England Journal of Public Policy
In the face of obdurate social, educational, and political failures, problems, and obstacles, Boston University persists in its management of the Chelsea public schools. It also persists in its refusal to share power with such Chelsea citizenry as the resistant Latinos whose leadership the university seeks to discredit. Jacobs examines the historical background of the city and its schools to decipher Chelsea's economic dependency and repeated fall into receivership and privatization.

Social Change In Rural Alaska: Attitudes, Sense Of Belonging, And Migration Intentions Of High School Students, Lisa R. Carley
Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations
Using 1992 survey data collected from high school students in 15 Alaskan towns and villages, this study investigated migration intentions of adolescents. Previous studies on adolescents' migration intentions have concentrated on comparing youth in areas experiencing natural resource development with youth in other areas. However, these studies have found few differences based on rapid resource development. Previous analysis of the Alaska survey data shows few. if any, differences in migration intentions of students in an area with recent mineral development and students in a traditional fishing area. Differences were found between boys and girls and between town and village students. …
An Immigrant Story Of Peter Petersen Thisted: Itinerant, Maverik Danish Lutheran Pastor, 1859-1915, Paul A. Thisted
An Immigrant Story Of Peter Petersen Thisted: Itinerant, Maverik Danish Lutheran Pastor, 1859-1915, Paul A. Thisted
The Bridge
This is the story of my Danish grandfather whom I never
knew except through infrequent stories from my father. I
asked my father Aaron to write a family history about his
dad, but he never did. I never found out why he wouldn't. I
wondered about my Thisted grandparents before and after
both my parents died, so I decided to piece the puzzle
together as best I could, while several uncles and aunts were
still alive.
To Have Revenge On The Self-Righteous University: Pietism And Religious Doubt In Sophus Keith Winther's Beyond The Garden State, John M. Nielsen
To Have Revenge On The Self-Righteous University: Pietism And Religious Doubt In Sophus Keith Winther's Beyond The Garden State, John M. Nielsen
The Bridge
In the spring of 1978, Arizona Quarterly published what
was to be the last of Sophus Keith Winther's scholarly
articles. Entitled, "The Emigrant Theme," this essay in many
ways was a summation of Winther's thoughts, not only regarding
the experience of Scandinavian-Americans as told in
literature, but more importantly of his reflections regarding
the whole of human experience. For him, emigration was the
great human story, stretching from the dawn of humankind
in the Olduvai Gorge to a foreboding present. It was the
story of the Israelites wandering in the wilderness; it was the
myth of the American westward movement. …
Recollections From Our Voyage To America, Soren Pedersen
Recollections From Our Voyage To America, Soren Pedersen
The Bridge
We departed from Limskov in Norup Sogn May 6, 1862,
to visit my sister, my brother-in-law, and my mother on my
home farm, and were there a couple of days before we took
leave of the whole family never to see them again in this life.
It was both a serious and a sad time.

More On Modes Of Production: A Synthesis Of Some Debates Contextualized For The Philippines, Kathleen Nadeau
Anthropology Faculty Publications
A look into modes of production is one of many possible entry points for the study of society and economy. It was not well developed by Marx who only alluded to it here and there in his works. He introduced the idea in Capital. (1977, Vols. 1, 1974 II, and III), A Contribution to a Critique of Political Economy (1970), and in Pre- Capitalist Economic Formations (1964). While one can read this concept in his other texts, for example in German Ideology (1970), it is from the previously mentioned ones that others, most notably Althusser and Balibar in their Reading …

Sentenced To Be Hanged: The Tragic Story Of A Danish Immigrant, Peter D. Thomsen
Sentenced To Be Hanged: The Tragic Story Of A Danish Immigrant, Peter D. Thomsen
The Bridge
Several years ago, Thorvald Hansen who was then in
charge of the Danish Immigrant Archives at Grand View
College, Des Moines, Iowa, asked if I would be interested in
writing the Peter Mathiasen story. I had previously told him
that in my childhood home I had heard bits and pieces of this
tale and that what I remembered most was how intensely it
was discussed by some of the immigrant people with whom
my parents associated. Little did I realize they were talking
about something that happened fifteen years before my
birth.

Carl Hansen's Concept Of Christmas, David Iversen
The Bridge
As one of the major Danish-American immigrant writers
of the early 20th century, Carl Hansen wrote short stories,
sketches, and one novel, co-founded (with Oscar W. Lund)
The Christmas journal Julegranen, and published Dansk Jul i
Amerika in 1909. This paper will focus on three stories,
published in Landmrend: Fortrellinger by Dansk Boghandel
in Cedar Falls, Iowa in 1908, which have Christmas as a
theme. The three stories are: For 30 aar siden (30 Years
Ago"), Bowlegged Joe ("Bowlegged Joe"), and Gamle Hans
