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:María en tierra de nadie: Screening & Q&A with Marcela Zamora
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free\, public film screening to kickoff Borders and Belonging: A Series of Events on Human Migration \nTo foster a conversation about migration\, LALS and the CLRC are jointly hosting a special screening of Marcela Zamora’s María en tierra de nadie (María in No Man’s Land)\, 2010. This is the story of three Salvadoran women and their journey to the United States. The film has been called unprecedented and a critical addition to the global migration conversation. The journalists and filmographers involved in creating this unique documentary spent months riding the trains and sleeping in the same shelters as they followed immigrants from El Salvador and Mexico\, attempting to make the harrowing crossing to the United States. \nImmediately following the screening\, Professors John J. Leaños (Film & Digital Media) and Cecilia Rivas (LALS) will moderate a Q&A with the director\, Marcela Zamora. \nMarcela Zamora is a documentary filmmaker and journalist. She has made 14 films about gender and human rights\, including María en tierra de nadie and El cuarto de los huesos / The Room of Bones (2015)\, a documentary about the quest to unearth and identify the disappeared in El Salvador. She studied journalism in Costa Rica and documentary filmmaking in Cuba and has worked for Al Jazeera\, Tele Sur\, and Elfaro.net\, Latin America’s first online newspaper. \nClick here for more info and to register for the event. \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).
