A Tale of Two Cities
Author: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691188394
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
In the second half of the twentieth century Dominicans became New York City's largest, and poorest, new immigrant group. They toiled in garment factories and small groceries, and as taxi drivers, janitors, hospital workers, and nannies. By 1990, one of every ten Dominicans lived in New York. A Tale of Two Cities tells the fascinating story of this emblematic migration from Latin America to the United States. Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof chronicles not only how New York itself was forever transformed by Dominican settlement but also how Dominicans' lives in New York profoundly affected life in the Dominican Republic. A Tale of Two Cities is unique in offering a simultaneous, richly detailed social and cultural history of two cities bound intimately by migration. It explores how the history of burgeoning shantytowns in Santo Domingo--the capital of a rural country that had endured a century of intense U.S. intervention and was in the throes of a fitful modernization--evolved in an uneven dialogue with the culture and politics of New York's Dominican ethnic enclaves, and vice versa. In doing so it offers a new window on the lopsided history of U.S.-Latin American relations. What emerges is a unique fusion of Caribbean, Latin American, and U.S. history that very much reflects the complex global world we live in today.

Cultural Activism
Author: Begüm Özden Firat
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 904202982X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This volume addresses contemporary activist practices that aim to interrupt and reorient politics as well as culture. The specific tactics analyzed here are diverse, ranging from culture jamming, sousveillance, media hoaxing, adbusting, subvertising, street art, to hacktivism, billboard liberation, and urban guerilla, to name but a few. Though indebted to the artistic and political movements of the past, this form of activism brings a novel dimension to public protest with its insistence on humor, playfulness, and confusion. This book attempts to grasp both the old and new aspects of contemporary activist practices, as well as their common characteristics and internal varieties. It attempts to open up space for the acknowledgement of the ways in which contemporary capitalism affects all our lives, and for the reflection on possible modes of struggling with it. It focuses on the possibilities that different activist tactics enable, the ways in which those may be innovative or destructive, as well as on their complications and dilemmas. The encounter between the insights of political, social and critical theory on the one hand and activist visions and struggles on the other is urgent and appealing. The essays collected here all explore such a confrontational collaboration, testing its limits and productiveness, in theory as well as in practice. In a mutually beneficial relationship, theoretical concepts are rethought through activist practices, while those activist practices are developed with the help of the insights of critical theory. This volume brings scholars and activists together in the hope of establishing a productive dialogue between the theorizations of the intricacies of our times and the subversive practices that deal with them.

Author: Xuanxi Li
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9789811236914
Category : Chinese language
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book introduces the Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology to develop a pedagogy named Wiki-based Collaborative Process Writing Pedagogy (WCPWP). Through this, teachers can enrich their teaching knowledge and orchestrate collaborative writing activities by using Wiki to help primary school students with their Chinese writing. The results of this study have theoretical implications for applying Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and design principles for implementing Wiki-based collaborative process writing in the Chinese context. It is an example of capitalizing on computer and Wiki technologies to support collaborative writing among upper primary school students in Mainland China.
