Book Synopsis Asylum Speakers by : April Ann Shemak
Download or read book Asylum Speakers written by April Ann Shemak and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering the first interdisciplinary study of refugees in the Caribbean, Central America, and the United States, Asylum Speakers relates current theoretical debates about hospitality and cosmopolitanism to the actual conditions of refugees. In doing so, the author weighs the questions of "truth value" associated with various modes of witnessing to explore the function of testimonial discourse in constructing refugee subjectivity in New World cultural and political formations. By examining literary works by such writers as Edwidge Danticat, Nik l Payen, Kamau Brathwaite, Francisco Goldman, Julia Alvarez, Ivonne Lamazares, and Cecilia Rodr guez Milan s, theoretical work by Jacques Derrida, Edouard Glissant, and Wilson Harris, as well as human rights documents, government documents, photography, and historical studies, Asylum Speakers constructs a complex picture of New World refugees that expands current discussions of diaspora and migration, demonstrating that the peripheral nature of refugee testimonial narratives requires us to reshape the boundaries of U.S. ethnic and postcolonial studies.
Book Synopsis Postcolonial Literary Studies by : Robert P. Marzec
Download or read book Postcolonial Literary Studies written by Robert P. Marzec and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally recognized for its superior scholarship, Modern Fiction Studies was one of the first journals to publish articles on postcolonial studies. Since postcolonialism's inception, scholars have defined, clarified, and enriched its conceptions and theoretical development in the pages of MFS. This anthology collects the best and most important articles on postcolonial literary studies published in MFS in the past thirty years. Postcolonial Literary Studies brings together groundbreaking scholarship focusing on significant works of fiction by such writers as Chinua Achebe, J. M. Coetzee, Jamaica Kincaid, V. S. Naipaul, Arundhati Roy, Salman Rushdie, Bapsi Sidhwa, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and more. The essays feature ideas that helped shape the discipline from its earliest stages to the present and represent some of the finest examples of literary, theoretical, historical, and cultural criticism. With its focus on literary figures and texts, rather than solely on theory, this volume fills a significant gap in the fields of postcolonialism, global studies, and literary criticism in general. This rich collection of essays by the field’s leading scholars will prove indispensable to instructors and students across a broad spectrum of humanistic studies. It not only highlights the development and transformation of postcolonial literary study but also, by mapping out new directions of study, considers its continual significance and expansion.

Book Synopsis The Struggle for Democratic Politics in the Dominican Republic by : Jonathan Hartlyn
Download or read book The Struggle for Democratic Politics in the Dominican Republic written by Jonathan Hartlyn and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, the Dominican Republic has experienced striking political stagnation in spite of dramatic socioeconomic transformations. In this work, Jonathan Hartlyn offers a new explanation for the country's political evolution, based on a broad comparative perspective. Hartlyn rejects cultural explanations unduly focused on legacies from the Spanish colonial era and structural explanations excessively centered on the lack of national autonomy. Instead, he highlights the independent impact of political and institutional factors and historical legacies, while also considering changes in Dominican society and the influence of the United States and other international forces. In particular, Hartlyn examines how the Dominican Republic's tragic nineteenth-century history established a legacy of neopatrimonialism, a form of rule that found extreme expression in the brutal dictator Rafael Trujillo and has continued to shape politics down to the present. By examining economic policymaking and often conflictual elections, Hartlyn also analyzes the missed opportunity for democracy during the rule of the Dominican Revolutionary Party and the democratic tensions of the administrations of Joaquin Balaguer.

Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. Haiti proclaimed its independence from France on January 1, 1804 following the only successful slave evolution in the Americas. As a result of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), Haiti became the first independent Latin American nation and the second independent nation in the Western Hemisphere, after the United States. Throughout its history it has suffered political violence, and a devastating earthquake which killed over 300,000 people. Historical Dictionary of Haiti, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.

Book Synopsis A Troubled Year by : Mary Jane Camejo
Download or read book A Troubled Year written by Mary Jane Camejo and published by Human Rights Watch. This book was released on 1992 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Introduction to this report focuses on the expulsion of Haitians and Dominico-Haitians from the Dominican Republic between the months of June and September 1991, coercive labour practices on sugarcane plantations, progress since the 1991 harvest, and the stance of the United States. The first section of the report deals with forced 'repatriations', including the Presidential Decree 233-91 which promised reforms in the treatment of sugarcane workers, the arbitrariness of expulsions, the failure to recognize Dominican citizenship, and the widespread abuses during roundups of Haitians. Individual case studies are presented of the abuses as well as information on detention centres and testimony of deportees. The report then examines forced recruitment at the border and in Haiti. Individual case studies are again used. A separate section of the report concerns forced labour. The report argues that the practices of restriction of freedom of movement, confiscation of personal belongings and detention and physical mistreatment combined to form a system of coercion that continued to underlie the state sugar industry in 1992. The report states that the Dominican Government continues to reject and to try to discredit international criticism of its human rights practices. The report defends many of the criticisms put forward by the Dominican Government against Americas Watch and the National Coalition for Haitian Refugees. The final section of the report deals with US policy and the decision of the Administration to maintain trade benefits to the Dominican Republic. The attitude of the US State Department and the US Congress towards the Dominican labour practices are also evoked. The report concludes with various recommendations for the Dominican Government.
