Contesting the Politics of Culture, Rewriting the Boundaries of Inclusion: Working for Social Justice with Muslim and Arab Communities
No full textThis article calls on anthropologists of education to assert a more public voice attacking the ideological purposes to which the concept of “culture” has been deployed following the September 11 attacks. We must support schools, communities, and the media to address the power and politics of race and religion in contemporary social and political contexts, rather than focus primarily on multicultural education about Islamic and Arab “culture.” Finally, this article urges us to expand our knowledge of the processes of social incorporation for Muslim and Arab immigrant youth to include a deeper understanding of how global politics contribute to young people's sense of emerging identities.This is an electronic version of an article published in Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 33: 308–316. doi: 10.1525/aeq.2002.33.3.308, available online at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1525/aeq.2002.33.3.308/abstrac
Imagining Postnationalism: Arts, Citizenship Education,and Arab American Youth
No full textThis article explores an Arab American community arts organization as a site for promoting youth civic participation and social activism. Studying a citizenship education project outside the school walls, and focusing on the arts as a medium for this work, foregrounds the role of the symbolic for engaging youth as active participants in democratic society. The article also examines the symbolic political argument for postnational citizenship that the young participants articulated through a film they produced. The original version of the article is published in Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 40(1):1-19, 2009, March. doi: 10.1111/j.1548-1492.2009.01025.x, available online at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1548-1492.2009.01025.x/abstractThis research was largely funded by a National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Becoming Citizens in an Era of Globalization and Transnational Migration: Re-imagining Citizenship as Critical Practice
No full textThis article examines how the perspectives and experiences of Arab American youth from immigrant communities can help educators think about what it means to teach young people to become active participants in the social, civic, and political spheres within and across the boundaries of nation-states. Arab American youths' perspectives are reflective of the transnational nature of their life experiences, as well as the unfortunate ways they have been positioned as enemy-outsiders to the United States in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Listening closely to the experiences and perspectives of these young people yields concrete implications for designing citizenship education that reflects the changing nature of belonging and citizenship. This article proposes that we stop thinking about citizenship primarily in relation to national identifications and begin to see it as a set of critical practices—practices that give young people the tools to work for social change within and across the boundaries of nation-states.This is an electronic version of an article published in Abu El-Haj,T. R., Becoming Citizens in an Era of Globalization and Transnational Migration: Re-imagining Citizenship as Critical Practice. Theory Into Practice. 48(4):274-282, 2009.

'Geef me de ruimte':Het eigenzinnige leven van Thea Beckman
No full textThe biography Make Way for Me recounts the life story of the Dutch children’s author Thea Beckman and the development of her writing within the socio-historical context of her time. Her political, educational and literary perspectives serve as the framework for portraying Thea Beckman’s two lives: the writer in the public eye and the woman she was behind closed doors. The meaning and significance of her contributions to the realm of children’s literature are also explored here through inquiry into the reception of Beckman’s works

(ANSP 157724).</p> <p> <b>Range and habitat.</b> W Florida (Okaloosa Co. and southward); Florida Keys; E Florida (Palm Beach Co. and southward); Bahama Is. (Grand Bahama I., Bimini Is., Abaco I.; Eleuthera I.); Cuba (north coast of Matanzas Prov.). Localities appearing in the published literature that are just outside this range and have yet to be confirmed are: North Carolina; E Florida (north of Palm Beach Co.); Alabama (Gulf coast); Louisiana; and Cuba (west and south of its NW coast). Reports of specimens from further afield are unlikely to be <i>C. thea</i>. Habitat reports are from the littoral zone to 27 m depths, from locations around sand bars of inside waters (Perry, 1940b: 165), in tide pools at low tide, bays, and from shallower waters offshore. Substrates range widely from mud flats, to sand and rubble bottoms in grass.</p> <p> <b> Description. <i>Shell</i></b> small (to 16.9 mm), narrowly to stoutly fusiform; truncate anteriorly, body whorl about 60% of length, and surface glossy; sculpture of axial ribs; whorls convex, suture impressed. <i>Protoconch</i> of approximately 1½–1¾ smooth, semi-translucent whorls, the first partially immersed in the second at its tip. <i>Axial sculpture</i> of well-spaced ribs, 7–9 on penultimate, 4–8 on last to varix, interspaces about twice their width, ribs run from suture-to-suture on spire whorls, evanesce early on shell base, straight to oblique, broadest and highest, sometimes knob-like, at shell periphery, lower, narrower, sometime obsolete on last whorl, and hooked to the left in sulcal area; rib profile convex, periphery below mid whorl on spire whorls; rib crests round at periphery and ridged on shoulder. Spiral sculpture limited to faint spiral ridges on shell base, below periphery, and distinct ridges on anterior fasciole. Sulcus obscure in some, marked by the presence of curved growth striae, to well-marked by reduced ribs, narrowed and curved, or obsolete ribs as in the later whorls of larger specimens. <i>Vari x</i> cup handlelike, ¼-turn from edge of outer lip. <i>Outer lip</i> thin, with a strengthening rib very close to lip edge in mature specimens; edge forming an arc from and congruent with anal sulcus to the stromboid notch; stromboid notch shallow. <i>Anal sulcus</i> deep, U-shaped, located on shoulder slightly set off from suture; sides of sinus divergent. <i>Inner lip</i> margined, thick along anterior canal, wider but thinner on parietal wall, and forming a lobe at junction with outer lip. <i>Anterior canal</i> very short, bent slightly to the right viewed ventrally, open and unnotched. <i>Color</i> light to dark caramel; usually rib crests just white, but sometimes a continuous mid-whorl white band present, and rarely a second, thin white band on shell base.</p> <p> <b> Remarks. <i>Nomenclatural.</i></b> Some references site the year of authorship of this name as 1883, but Dall’s description was published in 1884 (Jan), not 1883, as stated on the original publication (Rosenberg, 2009). <i> <i>Taxonomy.</i> Cerodrillia thea</i> is typical for <i>Cerodrillia</i> in possessing ribs from suture-to-suture, a cup-handle-like varix, and spiral sculpture limited to the shell base. <i>Cerodrillia thea</i> was included in <i>Cerodrillia</i> by Bartsch & Rehder (1939: 128–129) in their original description. Some specimens do exhibit characteristics of <i>Douglassia</i>, namely the significant reduction of ribs in the sulcus, even absent on the last whorls of older specimens. <i>Variability.</i> The average length of 68 specimens is 11.28 mm (5.3–16.9 mm), and their average W/L is 0.390. <i>C. thea</i> is narrow for <i>Cerodrillia</i>, most members of the genus have a W/L> 0.40. Individual specimens are uniformly colored, ranging from very dark brown to fairly light (Plate 35, Fig. 4). The color of the syntype depicted in Plate 34, Fig. 1 is typical of the species. Geographic variation is exhibited by this species and may be due to population isolation and habitat influences. Specimens from the Bahama Is. have more angular varices; those from the Florida Keys are smaller and darker, and from the central western coast of Florida are largest and generally colored like the types. <i> <i>Identification.</i> Cerodrillia thea</i> has a shell that is high-spired and uniformly light to dark caramel in color with lighter ribs that are noticeably oblique, traits that distinguish it from species with which it is often confused. <i>C. thea</i> is most similar to <i>C. harryleei</i>, new species and <i>C. sanibelensis</i>, new species, both from W Florida. From <i>C. harryleei</i> it differs in possessing slightly more ribs that are more oblique and less nodulose (7–9 versus 5–6 on the penultimate whorl). Also, <i>C. harryleei</i> has a faint brown spiral stripe in specimens examined so far, which is absent in <i>C. thea</i>. From <i>C. sanibelensis</i> it differs in possessing a narrower shell (average W/ L ratio = 0.390 versus 0.405), slightly more ribs that are more oblique (7–9 versus 6–7 on the penultimate whorl of individuals with varices), and darker color (light to dark caramel versus white to light orange brown).</p>Published as part of <i>Fallon, Phillip J., 2016, Taxonomic review of tropical western Atlantic shallow water Drilliidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Conoidea) including descriptions of 100 new species, pp. 1-363 in Zootaxa 4090 (1)</i> on pages 80-84, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4090.1.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/263299">http://zenodo.org/record/263299</a>
