Show moreDemocratic leaders Representative Nancy Pelosi (CA) and Senator Charles Schumer (NY) meet with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Trump talks about legislation pending in Congress and declares that his proposed border wall will be built. Pelosi offers to work with Trump and suggests that he should expect the House to pass his budget and provide funding for the border wall. Schumer says that there are compromises that could be made to accomplish Trump's legislative objectives and still keep the government from shutting down.

Trump says that if the borders are not secured, he will shut down the government.

Title: Belonging beyond boundaries : constructing a transnational community in a West African borderland
Creator: Glovsky, David Newman
Date: 2020
Collection: Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Description: By treating colonial and postcolonial borders as suggestions rather than firm dividers, this dissertation argues that Fulbe people in West Africa built a cross-border community that questioned the relationship between citizenship, territory, and national belonging. In the borderlands of southern Senegal, the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea (southern Senegambia), Fulbe created a semi-autonomous, transnational community outside of states. In the late nineteenth century, the French, British,...
Show moreBy treating colonial and postcolonial borders as suggestions rather than firm dividers, this dissertation argues that Fulbe people in West Africa built a cross-border community that questioned the relationship between citizenship, territory, and national belonging. In the borderlands of southern Senegal, the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea (southern Senegambia), Fulbe created a semi-autonomous, transnational community outside of states. In the late nineteenth century, the French, British, and Portuguese colonial governments drew borders between the colonies of Senegal, the Gambia, and Portuguese and French Guinea to divide and separate the peoples of these countries. This work, based on oral histories and archival research in six countries, argues that colonial governments never successfully controlled these borders, and that precolonial territorial strategies and networks have continued to the present. Thus, this research calls for a rethinking of conceptions of territoriality and space in Africa by focusing on Fulbe concepts of space and territory rather than those of colonial and postcolonial states. This study shows how Fulbe people made and remade spatial networks for a variety of reasons, adjusting their geographies in the face of state efforts to control and monitor movement. Throughout the colonial and postcolonial periods, Fulbe concepts of space and place superseded those of local governments, who exercised little control over borders, and thus, movement. This study shows how Fulbe people made and remade spatial networks for a variety of reasons, adjusting their geographies in the face of state efforts to control and monitor movement. From the late nineteenth century, Fulbe people regularly moved between Senegal, the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea for a variety of social, religious, political, and economic reasons. As a result of this movement, Fulbe citizenship came into question on a national level in Guinea and Guinea-Bissau during the 1960s and 1970s, leading to massive levels of emigration to neighboring countries like Senegal and the Gambia.Fulbe people often treated citizenship as fluid and flexible, laying claim to the rights of citizenship in multiple states. Through cross-border networks and ideas of belonging, they were able to mitigate some of the challenges of both the colonial and postcolonial periods. Their movement and refusal to categorize themselves along national lines subverts ideas that people belong to individual nation-states and offer a window for rethinking territorial belonging outside of the boundaries of modern states.

Show moreThis dissertation studies the early history of radio in Mexico by analyzing the complex ways in which border stations, Mexico City national networks and the Mexican government interacted and competed over the Mexican audience in the United States between 1923 and 1946.Following the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), the government implemented an extensive reconstruction project which sought to unify Mexico and transform its people through cultural and educational reform. Radio, along with rhetoric, art and educational policy were enlisted by the government to inculcate literacy, nationalism, notions of citizenship, sobriety, hygiene and hard work. My research shows that as early as 1923 commercial and official stations in Mexico targeted the Mexican population in the rural areas of the nation and in the United States through powerful transmitters. To station owners, the airwaves were intended to project the true national folklore of Mexico, display the best manifestations of Mexican culture through music, and, through advertisements and songs, create consumers.The study of radio in Great Mexico proves that the U.S.-Mexico border region had not accounted for a border since the 1920s due to the absence of legislation banning these transmissions and the power of radio to send signals across great distances. This dissertation argues that the interests of the Mexican government concerning its radio industry went beyond the national boundaries of Mexico. Situating radio within the industrialization, urbanization and mass communications technological innovations of the 20th century redefines the role of mass media and industry growth and development within Mexico. What is more, by mid-century the results were unforeseen: the government's plan failed to materialize and singers and artists migrating back and forth between Mexico and the United States along the circuit provided by radio realized they had to leave Mexico in order to become true cultural ambassadors.
