Threatening others: Nicaraguans and the formation of national identities in Costa Rica
This short book by New Orleans anthropologist David Beriss is part of the Westview “Case Studies in Anthropology” series. This is a contemporary version of the long-established
and similarly named “Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology,” originally published by Holt, Reinhart, and Winston.
The latter series was a staple of the undergraduate curriculum and provided many of the ethnographies that students actually read. Like so much of the anthropology of
its period, the series tended to have a “tribal” and rural focus: Many of the books were accounts of the Navaho, or the Banyoro, and so on, though other contributions went
beyond that conventional remit. The Westview series is also concerned with “particular communities,” as its author guidelines put it, but as in much modern anthropology, the
studies are not confined to a particular rural or urban locality. Indeed, Beriss’s excellent book is a wide-ranging account of transnational migrants from the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe who, over the last forty years in increasing numbers (perhaps a third of the island population), have gone to live and work in France.UCR::Investigación::Unidades de Investigación::Ciencias Sociales::Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales (IIS

“It does not go as well as it could”: The Views of Melanesian Migrant Farm Workers of the Cultural, Economic and Social Benefits and Costs of Seasonal Work in New Zealand
New Zealand‟s Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme (RSES), launched in 2007, is an example of international short-term labour migration schemes that have been developed to solve labour shortages in the destination countries, especially in the agricultural sector, and to contribute to the economic development of the labourers‟ home countries. A review of the literature identifies four main issues that have been investigated: the strengthening of the economic base of the labourers‟ home countries, how schemes contribute to adult farmer education and the transfer of technology and skills, links between migrant workers and other development strategies, and the economic and social costs of workers‟ participation in schemes. Much of this literature highlights benefits to both countries from such schemes but there are a small number of critics who question the costs of schemes to the labourers and their home countries. Little information is available on the workers‟ own views of the costs and benefits of schemes for them. This thesis focuses on the experiences of a group of labourers from Vanuatu who came to work in New Zealand under the RSES in 2009. It asks: What are the views of fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) Melanesian seasonal migrant farm workers on the cultural, economic, and social benefits and costs of working in New Zealand under the RSES? Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted in Bislama with 12 Vanuatu RSES workers in Northland in August 2009. Thematic analysis of the interview transcripts identified four benefits recognised by the interviewees: earning monetary income for family and community back home, gaining useful knowledge and skills that could be applied back home, personal satisfaction from the work, and personal experiences of a new country and society. Four costs recognised by the interviewees were also identified: difficult working conditions, earning less money than expected, lack of freedom and choice with respect to aspects of their time in New Zealand, and the emotional difficulties of missing home and family along with implications for gender roles of being away from home. The interviewees lacked information and understanding about a number of important aspects of the RSES, and there were no effective mechanisms for them to raise and solve the problems they were encountering. This thesis offers a number of policy recommendations that not only support the effective operation of such a scheme from the host country‟s perspective but also seeks to ensure that such schemes are of genuine value to the participating workers, their families and their home countries
Energy transfer in lanthanide complexes
This thesis details investigations into the photophysical properties of lanthanide ions in a number of different systems. The preparation and characterisation of lanthanide containing surfactant salts of the type Ln(A0T)(_3) (Ln = Tb, Nd, Eu, AOT = bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate) is described. Small angle neutron scattering experiments have been used to determine the size and shape of reverse micelles formed by these surfactants in water/cyclohexane microemulsions. The luminescence lifetimes of the lanthanide ions have been used to investigate the solvation environment within reverse micelle systems as a function of water content. The use of lanthanide complexes based on 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane bearing phenanthridine antenna in luminescence microscopy has been explored. Samples such as silica particles, onion skin cells and guinea pig heart cells have been imaged. Time- resolved measurements have allowed time gating of the sample from a fluorescent background and lifetime maps of the images have been obtained. The preparation and characterisation of deuteriated complexes of dota (1,4,7,10- tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) with lanthanide ions is described. Selective deuteriation of both the ring and arm sites allow the relative quenching effects of C-H/D oscillators to be determined for various lanthanides in a series of structurally well defined complexes. Finally, investigations into the distance dependence of the energy transfer between aromatic chromophores and lanthanide ions have been undertaken. The synthesis of a model system linking a phenanthridine donor to a europium complex by poly(valine) spacer units is described. Preliminary photophysical results show that the quantum yield of emission by europium decreases as the distance between the donor acceptor pair is increased
“Desde cómo comer un taco hasta cómo comer un mole”: experiencia migratoria y difusión de la cocina mexicana en los restaurantes étnicos de Montreal
This article examines both the migratory experience and entrepreneurial initiativesof Mexican restaurant owners who have settled in the city of Montreal (Quebec, Canada). By describing narratives of diffusion and authenticity of Mexican cuisine, the author analyzes the stereotypes around Mexican immigrants as an ethnically subordinate group in the American society imagination and how restaurant owners confront it. New study eins are addressed in different l abor niches than those commonlyexplored for the migration of Mexicans. The empirical evidence presented arises frompostdoctoral research that aims to contribute to the studies on migration of Mexicans to new destination cities.Este artículo muestra la experiencia migratoria y de emprendimiento de negocios de mexicanos dueños de restaurantes que se han establecido en la ciudad de Montreal (Quebec, Canadá), con el fin de explorarlos como espacios estratégicos donde se generan narrativas de enseñanza y difusión de la cocina mexicana. Se revisan estas narrativas como construcciones que surgen debido a la circulación de estereotipos que designan a los inmigrantes mexicanos como un grupo étnicamente subordinado en el imaginario de la sociedad estadounidense. Se abordan nuevas vetas de estudio en nichos laborales distintos a los comúnmente analizados en relación con la migración de mexicanos. La evidencia empírica presentada surge de una investigación posdoctoral que pretende contribuir a los estudios sobre migración de mexicanos a nuevas ciudades de destino
Measurement of R between 1.84 and 3.05 GeV at the KEDR detector
Using the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e+e− collider, we have determined the values of R at thirteen points of the center-of-mass energy between 1.84 and 3.05 GeV. The achieved accuracy is about or better than 3.9% at most of the energy points with a systematic uncertainty less than 2.4%
