We explore two alternative interpretations. The first is that the regime underwent a series of incremental transitions along an initially democratic but progressively more authoritarian trajectory, largely as a result of pressures from its environment. The alternative interpretation is that authoritarianism was inherent in the regime’s origin and composition and emerged endogenously, albeit gradually. Using a theoretical framework that builds on the work of Robert Dahl, Guillermo O’Donnell, Juan Linz, and Alfred Stepan, we develop indicators of democracy and authoritarianism and trace the evolution of the regime through three periods. We conclude that endogenous and exogenous forces interacted and were mutually reinforcing across these periods, repeatedly foreclosing possibilities for democratization, but authoritarian tendencies were present from the start and reflected in critical political decisions by regime actors involving the design of new institutions.","PeriodicalId":42747,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal American and Caribbean Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47447421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we investigate whether Albergue Tochán contains elements of an empowering setting in which claimants can gain some control over their lives as they wait for permission to stay in Mexico. The paper is based on interviews, participant observation and follow-up conversations with ten men, who, at the time of research in 2018–2019, were staying at Albergue Tochán (an all-men’s shelter) while awaiting decisions on their asylum cases. All of the men had intended to migrate to the United States, but, for a variety of reasons, ended their journeys in Mexico City. The paper demonstrates how the stay at Albergue Tochán stabilized the conditions of life for these men, at least temporarily. Through acquiring meaningful roles and relationships during their stay at the shelter, the men were empowered to the extent that they built agency, trust, skills, identity and hope.","PeriodicalId":42747,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal American and Caribbean Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59725274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Com base na sociologia das emoções e os conceitos de engajamento e vínculos, analisamos como o envolvimento na NINJA implica em um laço emocional com um conjunto de práticas e com outros membros, estabelecendo um engajamento em relação ao midiativismo e com o estilo de vida desse coletivo. Adotamos um conjunto de metodologias qualitativas, incluindo duas observações de campo, um acompanhamento sistemático das publicações da NINJA, e 15 entrevistas em profundidade com jornalistas/midiativistas. Laços entre os ativistas da NINJA são formados na relação com o outro, e são marcados por diferentes emoções e os vínculos que emergem quando as vidas dessas pessoas convergem. É possível ver os ninjas como membros de uma comunidade outsider que busca construir uma utopia realizázxzxvel, uma vida alternativa, utilizando-se das emoções como força motriz.

To do so, it will emphasize a particular aspect of precariousness: the precariousness of the time of labor. Besides, the analysis encompasses Richard Sennett’s theory about craftsman and craftsmanship. In this regard, it suggests the consideration of teaching as a job and, as such, exhibiting typical features thereof, such as methodical curiosity, material consciousness of the activity and permanent self-involvement in its improvement. Given the nature of teaching, it suggests the hypothesis that the phenomenon of precariousness of labor affects teaching, distorting its original nature (the search for academic excellence as fundamental motivation of the professor) and using it even to enhance the very movement of precariousness of university work.","PeriodicalId":42747,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal American and Caribbean Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59725330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of strong repression by the police, different artistic manifestations appeared as an expression of opposition to the government. This included concerts, performances, street theater and dance as political action. In this article, we present the case of a community of Lindy Hop dancers to explain the meaning given to dancing in public spaces as a protest action during this Chilean social crisis. Using an auto-ethnographic approach, we show that hoppers redefined their dance practices in public spaces as an act of resistance to state violence, from a political and an emotional perspective. However, these actions generated conflict within the hopper community, and the legitimacy of such practice was brought into question.","PeriodicalId":42747,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal American and Caribbean Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48072992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, intergenerational dynamics (IGDs) would appear to be a good perspective from which to both reflect and reinforce different approaches to this phenomenon within an Indigenous community when dealing with powerful outsiders. This article assesses the degree to which the Indigenous Community of Chiu-Chiu is internally differentiated according to IGDs, with a focus on the perceived costs and benefits of any outcomes of community negotiations, and how community inequalities regarding water resource outcomes drives the “resistance” to external actors like mining companies. Through IGDs, this article analyzes how the neoliberal market-structured 1981 National Water Code has challenged the development of the Indigenous Community of Chiu-Chiu, and the way the younger generation use music to represent their ancestral claims and fight to enforce the 1993 Indigenous Law and the International Labor Organization 169 Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples.","PeriodicalId":42747,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal American and Caribbean Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59725526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Las yolas son embarcaciones frágiles construidas antes de la salida o pequeños botes de pescadores. Hasta el presente, miles de dominicanos y dominicanas han cruzado el Canal de la Mona buscando una mejor vida. Las estadísticas y la documentación oficial no exponen las complejidades de este movimiento poblacional y la historia oral constituye una forma excepcional de comprender estos procesos migratorios. A través de la memoria de la travesía de los y las migrantes entrevistados, podemos encontrar sustantivos como \"el reclutador\", \"el capitán\", \"el organizador\" y \"el dueño del viaje\". Este artículo tiene como objetivo reconstruir un viaje en yola por medio de entrevistas orales realizadas en Puerto Rico a migrantes que llegaron después de 1986 y que continúan como residentes hasta el presente. El estudio se complementará con noticias sobre la migración indocumentada en los periódicos Listín Diario, El Caribe, El Mundo y El Nuevo Día. Las reformas migratorias fallidas en Estados Unidos han demostrado que no entendemos la migración indocumentada. Una manera de afrontar este \"problema\" es estudiar las características de las migraciones desde la perspectiva individual.Abstract:This research focuses on undocumented Dominican migration to Puerto Rico in yolas from 1970 to the 21st century. The yolas are fragile boats built before departure or small fishing boats. Until now, thousands of Dominican men and women have crossed the Mona Passage to seek a better life. Statistics and official documentation do not expose the complexities of this population movement, and oral history is a unique way of understanding these migratory processes. However, through the memory of the journey of the interviewed migrants, we can find nouns such as \"the recruiter,\" \"the captain,\" \"the organizer,\" and \"the owner of the trip.\" This article aims to reconstruct a yola trip through oral interviews conducted in Puerto Rico with migrants who arrived after 1986 and continue as residents to the present. The study will be complemented with news about undocumented migration in the newspapers Listín Diario, El Caribe, El Mundo, and El Nuevo Día. The failed immigration reforms in the United States have shown that we do not understand undocumented migration. One way to deal with this \"problem\" is to study migration characteristics from an individual perspective.Résumé:Cette recherche se concentre sur la migration dominicaine sans papiers vers Porto Rico dans les yolas de 1970 au 21e siècle.
