SUMMARY:Film Screening: Io sono Li (Shun Li & the Poet)
DESCRIPTION:Crossings Film Series \nOver 2017-18\, the CLRC and the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics is proud to present “Crossings\,” a quarterly film series about migration and the Mediterranean. We open with the 2014 documentary\, “Io sto con la sposa\,” winner of the Human Rights Nights Award at the Venice International Film Festival. All films are subtitled and screenings are free and open to the public. \nIo sono Li (Shun Li & the Poet\, 2013) \nTwo outsiders become unlikely friends in this drama from filmmaker Andrea Segre. Shun Li (Zhao Tao) is a thirtysomething single mother from China who has come to Italy in the hope of providing a better life for herself and her son. However\, Shun Li has partnered with an unscrupulous employment agency that shifts her from job to job and makes it difficult for her to pay her fees so she can make enough money to bring her son to Italy. She works as a barmaid in a shabby waterfront tavern in the fishing village of Chioggia; there\, she meets Bepi (Rade Serbedzija)\, an exile from Eastern Europe who has a fondness for poetry and pens doggerel verse himself. Shun Li shares with Bepi stories of Qu Yuan\, China’s most celebrated poet\, and the two strike up a friendship that has the potential to become something more. However\, the Chioggia natives make it clear that they don’t approve of Shun Li and Bepi’s budding relationship\, especially given their suspicions about her Chinese heritage. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics

SUMMARY:Non-citizenship Fellows Forum with Emily Mitchell-Eaton\, Claudia Lopez\, and Tsering Wangmo
DESCRIPTION:  \nWith support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the CLRC awarded two outstanding UC Santa Cruz graduate students year-long fellowships and hired a postdoctoral scholar as part of our 2016-17 Sawyer Seminar on non-citizenship. In this free\, public forum\, our three Mellon fellows will discuss their research and tell us a bit about what their awards allowed them to achieve and their plans for the future. \n  \n Geographies of Imperial Citizenship\nEmily Mitchell-Eaton\, Postdoctoral Scholar\, Chicano Latino Research Center \nThis talk addresses the modes of imperial citizenship and non-citizenship that have emerged for subjects of non-sovereign U.S. territories. An examination of the legal statuses held by these subjects reveals the margins of formal legal citizenship to be quite blurry. As imperial subjects attempt to cross U.S. borders\, pursue employment\, access public benefits and services\, and resist deportation\, these practices often result in precarious mobility and different forms of exclusion. Drawing on a case study of Marshall Islanders who have migrated to Arkansas\, Dr. Mitchell-Eaton explores how Marshallese immigrants’ unique legal status is produced through their encounters with three groups: law enforcement and legal actors; social service providers; and activists. \n  \nThe Life-Cycle of Forced Migration: Partial Citizenship and Internally Displaced Peasants in Medellín\, Colombia\nClaudia Lopez\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of Sociology \nIn this presentation\, Claudia discusses the dynamics of internal and forced migration of rural peasant farmers\, focusing on their urban resettlement and integration into the city of Medellín\, Colombia. Using this case study of conflict-induced displacement in Colombia—which has the largest population of internally displaced persons in the world—her research brings new attention to internal and forced migration\, viewing the resulting displacement as a serial process that constitutes what she calls the life­cycle of forced migration. She draws from ethnographic interviews and surveys with rural internally displaced persons\, as well as interviews with representatives of government agencies and NGOs\, to argue that\, across the lifecycle\, the state marginalizes displaced peasants and does not consider them capable urban citizens due to their rural origin and inability to contribute through formal labor practices in the city\, thereby rendering them Partial Citizens. Ultimately\, Claudia contends that this research demonstrates the limits of integration and national citizenship\, offers a more nuanced lens for examining citizenship as a spectrum\, and prompts us to examine belonging beyond the binary categories of citizen/non-citizen and included/excluded. \n  \nBelonging in Exile: The Exclusionary Agenda of Unity\nTsering Wangmo\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of Literature \nTsering Wangmo’s dissertation\, “From the Margins of Exile: Democracy and Dissent within the Tibetan Diaspora\,” juxtaposes the external struggle for international recognition of the Tibetan government-in-exile with the internal struggle to command Tibetan unity since the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1950. It presents a nuanced understanding of how the project of nation building within the conditions of exile must be seen as a constant negotiation between deference and dissent and between unity and difference. In her talk\, Tsering argues that unity was presented simultaneously as the moral and political responsibility of the modern Tibetan “refugee-citizen\,” as well as the traditional duty of a Tibetan Buddhist\, and that\, ultimately\, unity was an exclusionary discourse. \n  \nThis free\, public forum is co-sponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:The Fluidity of Status: Non-citizenship\, Deportation\, and Indentured Mobility: A Conversation with Tanya Golash-Boza and Rhacel Parreñas
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos: by Steve Kurtz\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nPresented by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\nIn two Ted-style talks\, Tanya Golash-Boza (UC Merced) and Rhacel Parreñas (University of Southern California) help close UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon John E. Sawyer Seminar on non-citizenship by discussing what they see as some of the key issues framing debates around migration in our time: gender\, deportation\, incarceration\, slavery\, human trafficking\, structural violence\, and global apartheid. The evening begins with a reception at 6:30pm\, followed by presentations at 7:00pm and a Q&A moderated by Felicity Amaya Schaeffer (UC Santa Cruz). \n“Deported without Due Process: Ryan’s Story”\nTanya Golash-Boza\, Professor of Sociology\, University of California\, Merced \nSince 1996\, five million people have been deported from the United States – 98% of them Latin American and 90% men. Laws passed in 1996 made it easier to deport legal permanent residents\, even those eligible for citizenship. In immigration proceedings\, you have no right to legal representation. You can be detained without bond. You can be deported without a full hearing. In this talk\, Tanya Golash-Boza will explain how legal permanent residents can be deported from the United States with minimal or no due process. \n“The Unfree Labor of Migrant Domestic Workers”\nRhacel Parreñas\, Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies\, University of Southern California \nAcross the globe\, migrant domestic workers are unfree workers whose legal residency is contingent on their continued employment as live-in workers with a designated sponsor. Rhacel Parreñas’ talk gives a global overview of the exclusionary terms of their belonging. It then interrogates dominant theoretical frameworks for thinking about contemporary unfreedoms – slavery\, human trafficking and structural violence – and proposes the alternative concept of “indentured mobility\,” which sees migration as simultaneously constituting of financial mobility from a life of poverty in the sending society but at the cost of servitude vis-à-vis a sponsoring employer in the receiving society. The concept of indentured mobility foregrounds not only the severe structural constraints that limit the options of domestic workers but also their agentic negotiations for improving their work conditions and maximizing thepossible gains in their state of unfreedom. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but attendees are kindly asked to register in advance. \n \nSpeakers \nTanya Golash-Boza is the author of five books\, including Deported: Immigrant Policing\, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism (New York University Press\, 2015)\, which explains mass deportation in the context of the global economic crisis; Due Process Denied (Routledge\, 2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; and Immigration Nation (Paradigm\, 2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that US immigration policy has on human rights.  In addition\, she has published over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, and human rights and has written on contemporary issues for Al Jazeera\, The Boston Review\, The Nation\, Counterpunch\, The Houston Chronicle\, Racialicious\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, and Dissident Voice. \nRhacel Parreñas‘ book\, Illicit Flirtations: Labor\, Migration and Sex Trafficking in Tokyo(Stanford University Press\, 2011)\, won the Distinguished Book Award in the Labor and Labor Movements Section of the American Sociological Association. Probing the intersections of human trafficking and labor migration\, her current research analyzes the constitution of unfree labor among migrant domestic workers in Dubai and Singapore. Her other books include Human Trafficking Reconsidered: Migration and Forced Labor (Open Society Institute\, 2014)\, The Force of Domesticity: Filipina Migrants and Globalization (New York University Press\, 2008)\, and Servants of Globalization: Migration and Domestic Work (second edition\, Stanford University Press\, 2015). Her current research focuses on the unfree labor of migrant contract workers in Asia and the Middle East. \nFelicity Amaya Schaeffer is Associate Professor of Feminist Studies and Co-principal Investigator of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar.  She is the author of Love and Empire:  Cybermarriage and Citizenship across the Americas (New York University Press\, 2013)\, an exploration of the relationship between global shifts and intimate circuits of desire\, love\, and marriage.  Her current research is on surveillance technologies and the sexual criminalization of migrant bodies on and beyond the US-Mexico border.  Other research interests include borderlands and transnationalisms; affect and capitalism; race\, technology\, and subjectivity; and Chicana and Latin American cultural studies. \n  \nThis free\, public event is co-sponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nAbout Non-citizenship\nNon-citizenship is part of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture. Linking citizenship\, migration\, border\, labor\, and carceral studies\, and juxtaposing spatial and social mobility and immobility\, this year-long series of events explores what it means to be a citizen and non-citizen in a world made by migrants\, refugees\, guest workers\, permanent residents\, asylum seekers\, slaves\, prisoners\, detainees\, the stateless\, and denizens (residents who do not hold the same rights as citizens). Non-citizenship is organized around three themes: “Forced Migration” (fall 2016)\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity” (winter 2017)\, and “Fluidity of Status” (spring 2017). Click here to learn more.

SUMMARY:The Fluidity of Status: A Seminar with Tanya Golash-Boza & Rhacel Parreñas (Non-citizenship Series)
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on gender\, deportation\, and labor\, the third and final session of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, approaches citizenship\, denizenship\, and mobility as fluid statuses—as formal (in other words\, documented) positions that are in flux and as practices of belonging that morph as people of various statuses interact with each other. \nPlease join us for this free\, public seminar with Tanya Golash-Boza\, Professor of Sociology at UC Merced\, and Rhacel Parreñas\, Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at the University of Southern California.  To reserve your lunch and to access the pre-circulated readings\, please register here: \n \nFollowing the seminar\, Professors Golash-Boza and Parreñas will take part in The Fluidity of Status: Non-citizenship\, Deportation\, and Indentured Mobility\, a public conversation at the Museum of Art & History at 705 Front Street in downtown Santa Cruz.\n\n \nTanya Golash-Boza is the author of five books\, including Deported: Immigrant Policing\, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism (New York University Press\, 2015)\, which explains mass deportation in the context of the global economic crisis; Due Process Denied (Routledge\, 2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; and Immigration Nation (Paradigm\, 2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that US immigration policy has on human rights.  In addition\, she has published over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, and human rights and has written on contemporary issues for Al Jazeera\, The Boston Review\, The Nation\, Counterpunch\, The Houston Chronicle\, Racialicious\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, and Dissident Voice. \nRhacel Parreñas‘ book\, Illicit Flirtations: Labor\, Migration and Sex Trafficking in Tokyo (Stanford University Press\, 2011)\, won the Distinguished Book Award in the Labor and Labor Movements Section of the American Sociological Association.

SUMMARY:Engaging Precarity: A Seminar with Marcel Paret
DESCRIPTION:Inaugurating Session II of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, labor scholar Marcel Paret of the University of Utah and University of Johannesburg leads a seminar on Guy Standing’s concept of the precariat. Professor Standing of the School of Oriental and African Studies takes part in a half-day symposium on labor mobility and precarity with Alejandro Grimson of Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires and Biao Xiang of the University of Oxford on Tuesday\, February 7\, 2017\, at the Merrill Cultural Center. \nSession II of Non-citizenship focuses on global labor mobility and rising precarity\, two concepts that highlight the broad and tiered spaces between citizen and non-citizen and their consequences. Linking labor mobility and precarity and holding them in dynamic tension is the notion of denizenship (residence without citizenship). Precarity—the experience of insecurity and constant risk of exclusion—is also central to the experience of many labor migrants and citizen-workers in our time. Today’s labor migrants are new denizens\, something short of full members. They are differentially incorporated into host societies that desire their labor\, but reject their presence. From Irish helots\, to Chinese “coolies\,” to Mexican Braceros\, to Silicon Valley’s high-tech guest workers\, mobile laborers with limited rights face new opportunities abroad\, along with new forms of vulnerability\, contingency\, and expendability. Meanwhile\, citizen-workers are exposed to new forms of labor precarity as social rights (for example\, education\, health care\, and retirement protection) and access to their benefits are increasingly privatized and made contingent. \n*Steve McKay\, Associate Professor of Sociology and director of the Center for Labor Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, will moderate the seminar with Professor Paret. \n  \n\nMarcel Paret is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Utah and Senior Research Associate with the South African Research Chair in Social Change at the University of Johannesburg. His research examines the politics of class formation and how they vary over time and across space. He is especially interested in globalization and marketization\, race and migration\, labor and social movements\, protest and community politics\, and the causes and consequences of precarity. He is the author of numerous articles and editor of “Politics of Precarity: Critical Engagements with Guy Standing\,” a speical issue of Global Labor Journal (Vol. 7\, No. 2 [2016]). \nSteve McKay is an internationally renowned scholar of labor\, migration\, globalization\, and race; and author of the award-winning Satanic Mills or Silicon Islands: The Politics of High-tech Production in the Philippines (Cornell University/ILR Press\, 2006) and co-editor with Sukanya Bannerjee and Aims McGuinness of New Routes for Diaspora Studies (Indiana University Press\, 2012). He is the principal investigator of Working for Dignity\, a project on low-wage labor in Santa Cruz County\, and is now working on a study of the affordable housing crisis in Santa Cruz County. In addition to serving on the CLRC Steering Committee\, he directs the Center for Labor Studies and is also a co-principal investigator of Non-citizenship. \n  \n\nPlease make sure to register here by Monday November 21\,2016.  \nAttendees are also asked to read the following essays prior to the seminar: \nGuy Standing\, “Denizens and the Precariat\,” in A Precariat Charter:  From Denizens to Citizens (London:  Bloomsbury Academic\, 2014)\, 1-32. \nMarcel Paret\, “Politics of Solidarity and Agency in an Age of Precarity\,” Global Labor Journal Vol. 7\, No. 2 (2016): 174-188. \nJudith Butler\, “Performativity\, Precarity and Sexual Politics\,” AIBR Vol. 4\, No. 3 (2009): 1-13.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels" (Non-citizenship series)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present an event in the series on Non-citizenship\nHistorians and filmmakers Philip Misevich and Konrad Tuchscherer of St. John’s University join UC Santa Cruz’s David Anthony and Greg O’Malley in a conversation about forced migration at this free\, public screening of “Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels\,” 2016 winner of the American Historical Association’s John E. O’Connor Film Award. \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Allison Garcia\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nAbout the Film\nGhost of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels by Tony Buba is based on Marcus Rediker’s The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom (Viking-Penguin\, 2012). It chronicles a trip to Sierra Leone in 2013 to visit the home villages of the people who seized the slave schooner Amistad in 1839\, to interview elders about local memory of the case\, and to search for the long-lost ruins of Lomboko\, the slave trading factory where their cruel transatlantic voyage began. The film uses the knowledge of villagers\, fishermen\, and truck drivers to recover a lost history from below in the struggle against slavery. \n“This film is an ambitious and imaginative attempt to explore the impact of the Amistad Mutiny and the repatriation of the brave Africans to their homes in Sierra Leone. It is of great interest to any student of slavery and the slave trade.” – Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, Harvard University \nLocation:\nDel Mar Theatre\, 1124 Pacific Avenue\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nEvent details:\nFilm at 7:00pm\nQ&A Discussion at 8:00pm \nGreg O’Malley\, Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Cruz\, moderates the Q&A with Professors Misevich and Tuchscherer immediately following the screening.

SUMMARY:Bridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present\nLeading labor and migration scholar\, Bridget Anderson\, for the inaugural event in a series of events on Non-citizenship\, our 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture.. \n \nBridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series) 10.6.16 from IHR on Vimeo \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Steve Kurtz\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nIn her keynote address\, “The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly:  Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion\,” Professor Anderson explores citizenship as both a legal status and moral claim. She examines what attention to debates about migration exposes about the nature of the “good citizen” and the rise of the worker citizen. Rather than seeing migrants and citizens as competitors for the privileges of membership\, she argues for the importance of politics that are attentive to the connections between the non-citizen migrant and the “failed citizen” on welfare or with a criminal record.  This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nSylvanna Falcón\, associate professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, will facilitate the discussion following Professor Anderson’s remarks. \nPhoto exhibit Expulsion: Stories of Displacement from Colombia\, India\, Mexico and the United States\, co-curated by Claudia Maria Lopez\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar Graduate Student Fellow. \nBridget Anderson is Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director at the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford. She is the author of numerous publications\, including Us and Them? The Dangerous Politics of Immigration Controls (Oxford University Press\, 2013) and Doing the Dirty Work? The Global Politics of Domestic Labour (Zed Books\, 2000). Exploring the tension between labor market flexibilities and citizenship rights\, she has pioneered an understanding of the functions of immigration in key labor market sectors. Her interest in labor demand has meant an engagement with debates about trafficking\, modern day slavery\, state enforcement\, and deportation. She is particularly concerned with the ways immigration controls increasingly impact citizens and migrants alike. \nLocation:\nSanta Cruz Museum of Art and History (705 Front Street\, Santa Cruz) \nEvent details:\nReception at 6:30pm / Lecture at 7:00pm \nAdmission:\nFree and open to the public\, but attendees are asked to register in advance. \nREGISTER HERE \nOther Events with Bridget Anderson\nFriday\, September 16\, 11:00am-1:00pm\, Charles E.

SUMMARY:Linking Citizenship\, Migration\, Labor\, Border\, and Carceral Studies: A Seminar with Bridget Anderson
DESCRIPTION:How\, when\, where\, and why do citizenship\, migration\, labor\, border\, and carceral studies converge? What happens when we put these fields in dialogue with one another? Why the distinction between migration studies and refugee studies? When do forced migration and labor migration overlap and when are they different? Who is a “migrant\,” “refugee\,” “citizen\,” and “worker”? What is the difference between prisoner and detainee? Between citizen and denizen? Over 2016-17\, scholars at UC Santa Cruz involved with Non-citizenship\, our Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, will grapple with these questions as we reflect on and link our Sawyer Seminar’s 3 themes: forced migration\, labor mobility and precarity\, and the fluidity of status. Bridget Anderson\, Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director of the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford\, helps kick off our discussion by leading a seminar for UC Santa Cruz faculty\, staff\, and students on key and emerging questions and concerns in citizenship\, migration\, labor\, border\, and carceral studies. \nEmily Mitchell-Eaton\, Andrew W.

SUMMARY:The Jungle and the Beast: A Conversation with Lewis Watts and Óscar Martínez
DESCRIPTION:The Jungle and the Beast: A Conversation with Lewis Watts and Óscar Martínez is the second event in the Borders and Belonging Series hosted by the CLRC. In The Beast (Los migrantes que no importan\, in the original Spanish)\, intrepid Salvadoran journalist Óscar Martínez accompanies migrants on “the Beast\,” the train that travels from Central America through Mexico to the United States. Meanwhile\, UCSC Professor Emeritus Lewis Watts has captured some of the stasis of migration in his recent photos of “the Jungle\,” the makeshift migrant camp in Calais\, France. Mr. Martínez discusses the migrant trail and Professor Watts shares some of his recent photos from Calais.\nClick here for more info and to register for the event. \nThe title of Martinez’s celebrated book comes from la Bestia\, the old and decrepit train thousands of migrants cling to every day in the hopes of crossing from Central America heading north. Intimately familiar with this scene from his days of on-the-ground reporting in El Salvador\, Martinez compiled his short briefs into one searing look at the crisis of those who many call the “invisible people.” Martinez also is a staff writer for El Faro out of San Salvador and runs “Sala Negra\,” a project with fellow journalists\, investigating the challenging questions addressing and concerning gang violence in Central America. Launched in 2011\, la Sala Negra cover Nicaragua\, Honduras\, El Salvador and Guatemala; four of the most volatile regions in the world today. The consortium works on issues mostly related to organized crime\, prison systems and the culture of violence in the region. Martinez is widely considered a leading voice on these topics and migration related concerns throughout Latin America \nLewis Watts’ photos of “La jungle\,” the makeshift migrant camp in Calais\, France\, describe an intimate and profound look at one of the most dangerous and heavily-trafficked migrant crossings in the world. As the Syrian refugee crisis continues to unfold in the news\, Professor Watts’ imagery shows the universal face of the immigrant and forced migration struggle. The conversation will also be joined by Jennifer González\, Professor of History of Art and Visual Culture\, who will moderate the morning’s conversation about migrants and migration in different regions of the world. \nÓscar Martínez is the author of Los migrantes que no importan: En el camino con los centroamericanos indocumentados en México (Icaria/El Faro\, 2010)\, which was translated by Daniela Maria Ugaz and John Washington as The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail (Verso\, 2013). The New York Times has described Mr. Martínez’s writing as “graceful” and “incisive.” His second book\, A History of Violence\, is forthcoming from Verso in 2016. Based in El Salvador\, he writes for Elfaro.net\, Latin America’s first online newspaper. \nLewis Watts joined the Art Department at UC Santa Cruz in 2001 after having taught at UC Berkeley for 23 years. He is a photographer of cultural and urban landscapes\, with a focus on the African diaposora. He has photographed African and Afro-descent communities in the United States\, Latin America\, and Europe and is the co-author (with Elizabeth Pepin) ofHarlem of the West: The San Francisco Jazz Fillmore Era (Chronicle Books\, 2005) and (with Eric Porter) New Orleans Suite: Music and Culture in Transition (University of California\, 2013). \nFor questions\, please contact Catherine Ramírez at cathysue@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Carmen Boullosa: “Texas: The Great Theft”
DESCRIPTION:Carmen Boullosa is one of Mexico’s leading novelists\, poets\, and playwrights\, whose works interweave speculative\, historical\, and psychological themes with a powerful feminist point of view and a sharp satirical wit. She has published fifteen novels\, among them El complot de los románticos (winner of the Premio de Novela Café Gijón in 2008)\, Las paredes hablan\, La virgen y el violin\, and perhaps most famously\, Llanto. Her works in English translation include They’re Cows\, We’re Pigs; Leaving Tabasco; and Cleopatra Dismounts\, all published by Grove Press\, and Jump of the Manta Ray\, with illustrations by Philip Hughes\, published by The Old Press. Her novels have also been translated into Italian\, Dutch\, German\, French\, Portuguese\, Chinese\, and Russian. A prominent essayist and journalist\, she writes a regular column for El Universal in Mexico City. She has taught at Georgetown\, Columbia\, and New York University\, as well as at universities in nearly a dozen other countries. She is currently Distinguished Lecturer at the City College of New York. \nIn her latest novel\, Texas: The Great Theft (Deep Vellum\, 2014)\, originally published as Tejas: La gran ladronería en la frontera norte (Editorial Alfaguera\, 2013)\, Carmen Boullosa challenges US versions of the romantic origins of Texas. Set on the eve of the US Civil War in the fictional twin border cities of Bruneville and Matasanchez\, the novel depicts relations among gringos\, German immigrants\, Mexican landowners and laborers\, escaped slaves\, Apaches\, and Comanches. In the words of the Dallas Morning News’ Roberto Ontiveros\, it “sardonically explodes and seductively reins itself back in with a panoptic prose that stares down hard into the absurd and uncomfortable prejudices that have historically split this region.” \nFor an advance PDF copy of the novel in Spanish and/or in English\, please contact Kirsten Silva Gruesz (ksgruesz@ucsc.edu).
