Immigrant Farmworker Youth's Right to Aspire: A Review of Two Films
Peace, Justice and Nation-Building: Lessons from the Past
The tale of “how peace was made” in the 1950s and 60s suggests the fragility of any attempt to move beyond violence, but to an even greater extent its potential. (14)How a nation grapples with a hi
Reimagining the Strange and Familiar in National Belonging: Memory, Heritage, and Exclusion in the Dominican Republic
Recent constitutional reforms and high court decisions in the Dominican Republic made an estimated 200,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent stateless when rulings retroactive to 1929 invalidated their birthright citizenship. Some social actors-including diasporic Dominicans and Haitians-connect the crisis of exclusion to the nation’s difficult heritage-namely, the 1937 massacre of thousands of Haitians and other black bodies in the Dominican Republi…
The Familiar and the Strange in Heritage and Tourism Encounters
Through our scholarly representations, as well as our teaching, anthropologists illustrate how our common human heritage includes a rich variety of social and cultural practices as well as other culturally relative markers of our diverse humankind. Through our research, some anthropologists endeavor to combat ethnocentrism, or to illuminate and better understand the effects of racism and other systems and structures of inequality, and through eng…
Turcos' and 'Chinos' in El Salvador: Orientalizing Ethno-Racialization and the Transforming Dynamics of National Belonging
In the immediate aftermath of El Salvador’s civil war (1980–1992), there arose fresh attention to questions of national culture, history, and identity. Postwar official textbooks and museums emphasized mestizaje (defined here as the historical mixing of Spanish and Indigenous populations that accompanied the colonial experience). The discourse of mestizaje, based on an idealized vision of an integrated national population, not only eclipsed the o…
Museums, Memory, and the Just Nation in Post-Civil War El Salvador
In 1992 El Salvador ended a 12-year civil war infamous in part for the high level of state violence against innocent civilians. A United Nations Truth Commission report, which detailed these and other excesses, recommended that state and society commemorate the war and its violence to advance the establishment of a more just nation. The postwar government did construct an impressive new National Museum of Anthropology to actively promote national…
Growing Community-University Research Partnerships in the San Joaquin Valley
If great agricultural wealth represents the visible front of the San Joaquin Valley, the costs of producing that wealth remain hidden backstage in the form of multiple environmental problems. Despite its history of political activism, the Valley remains an area beset by social inequity and environmental problems. In this context, a new collaborative research paradigm developed, which came out of a symposium that brought together members of grassr…
Commemorating from the Margins of the Nation: El Salvador 1932, Indigeneity, and Transnational Belonging
Recent public commemorations in the US and El Salvador for the 1932 state-sanctioned killing of thousands of indigenous Nahuat in western El Salvador involve Native communities and diasporic Salvadorans who thereby bring attention to the continued marginalization of Native people and cultures. Salvadorans in the US express personal and collective indigeneity while contributing to memory and justice efforts in Izalco, the epicenter of the 1932 vio…

Indigeneity across borders: Hemispheric migrations and cosmopolitan encounters
The increasing migration of indigenous people from Latin America to the United States signals a new horizon for the study of indigeneity-complexly understood as subjectivities, knowledge, and practices of the earliest human inhabitants of a particular place and including legal and racial identities that refer to these people. Focusing on indigenous migration to San Francisco, California, I explore how government, service providers, and community …
Census, Map, Museum (Revisited): El Salvador's Postwar Trans-National Imagination
Massive emigration and transnational realities affect postwar El Salvador. While the civil war (1980–1992) displaced vast numbers of people, the steady flow of citizens out of national territory continues today. As emigrants who remain connected to El Salvador demonstrate their increased economic and political capital, the government of El Salvador, elites, and media respond by re-shaping ideas about the nation and national belonging. This articl…
"South of the Border" at the NMAI
South of the Border" at the NMAI Robin Maria Delugan (bio) The National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) stands in nearly unobstructed proximity to the U.S. Capitol building, arguably the grandest symbol of U.S. political power. The fluid, organic, warm-toned architecture of the NMAI contrasts sharply with the staid monumentality and winter-white hue of the Capitol. As the latest addition to the Smithsonian's cluster of national museums, the …

Peace, Culture, and Governance in Post–Civil War El Salvador (1992–2000)
In postwar El Salvador, high levels of violence and social polarization continue to destabilize a fragmented society. In an effort to combat this instability, projects have emerged to foster social reconstruction by promoting national culture and identity. The goal of international humanitarian intervention in these projects is to link national cultural campaigns to universally accepted values and the practice of democratic citizenship (including…
