Colombia made an appearance in tonight's presidential debate - Obama, unlike McCain, committed to ensuring protection for Colombia's brutalized labor organizers before signing a deal. McCain, unlike Obama, made this funky eyebrow gesture.

A group of distinguished scholars and activists from both Mexico and from various institutions in the United States will meet at Texas A&M University (College Station), October 22 & 23, 2008, for a symposium of unprecedented importance, “The African Presence in Mexico.”
“The African Presence in Mexico” will begin Wednesday night, October 22, with the keynote address by Fr. Glyn Jemmott, a Roman Catholic priest currently serving the Parish of St. John of the Cross in El Cirelo, Pinotepa Nacional, Mexico. This address will be held in the MSC’s Stark Gallery beginning at 6:00PM
The morning and afternoon schedule for Thursday, October 23, features brief presentations by Herman L. Bennett, Juan Manuel de la Serna, Maria Elisa Velázquez and Arturo Motta on “Slavery and Freedom in Colonial Mexico” and “’Where Did the Blacks Go?’ Post-Slavery Mexico.” Respondents to these scholarly lectures will include Joan Bristol, Patrick J. Carroll, Nicole von Germeten, Frank “Trey” Proctor III, and Marisela Ramos. These two lectures will be held in Rudder Tower, Room 302 at 10:00AM and 1:00PM.
The symposium will close Thursday night, October 23, with “Contemporary Afro-Mexicans,” a group conversation, led by Ben Vinson III, in exchange with Naya Jones, Laura Lewis, Jean-Philibert Mobwa Mobwa N’Djoli, Fr. Glyn Jemmott, Bobby Vaughn, Anita Gonzalez and Maria Elisa Velázquez. The last conversation will be held in the MSC’s Stark Gallery beginning at 6:00PM.
During these two days of national and international intellectual and political exchange, “Afro-Mexican Faces from the State of Veracruz, Mexico,” an exhibition of photographs by Marcus D. Jones, will be mounted in The Flag Room of the MSC at Texas A&M University Monday through Thursday, October 20 – 23, 2008.
The symposium and exhibition are co-sponsored by Texas A&M University’s Callaloo and by the Center for Africana Studies at Johns Hopkins University.

CFP: IASPM Canada - "Peripheries and Centres in Popular Music"
Call for Papers
International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM) Canada
Presents:
Going Coastal: Peripheries and Centres in Popular Music
Dalhousie University, Halifax
June 12-14, 2009
IASPM-CA is pleased to call for proposals, panels and roundtables for this
special interdisciplinary conference on the theme of "Peripheries and
Centres." We also welcome submissions on any aspect of popular music.
We are aiming for as broad a representation of disciplinary and
interdisciplinary perspectives as possible and hope for a conference that
will provide perspectives on and (re)evaluations of the periphery/centre
relationship as it relates to popular music. What changes are affecting the
concepts of centre and periphery and related notions like mainstream and
fringe, heartland and hinterland, privileged and marginal, mass culture and
subculture? How should they be rethought? Is there still a "centre"
(generically, geographically, economically, ideologically) in popular music
in the 21st century? We would be especially interested in proposals that
deal with issues such as:
*Questioning centre-periphery models
*Shifting centres (in terms of styles, genres, markets, geographies, social
identities)
*Centres and peripheries as they structure artistic labour (stars vs. backup
performers; engineers; producers; videographers; road personnel, etc.)
*Centres and peripheries in digital and web-based music cultures
*Ways in which centre-periphery models entrench or challenge dominant
formations of popular music canons, histories, genres, pedagogies
*Centres and peripheries in our academic work (in our choices of
methodologies, research topics, ideologies)
*Centres and peripheries in the ways of disseminating our work (journals,
books, on-line publishing, blogs, etc.), and in the communication between
'scholarly' and 'non-scholarly' audiences
*The excluded middle: how well have we gotten over the taboo of studying
"mainstream music?"
*How fringes become centres (country, reggae, punk, rap, etc.); how centres
become fringes (heavy metal, disco, kitsch/camp, etc.)
We would especially encourage papers, panels and roundtables dealing with
Canadian popular music scenes that are regionally specific, including those
of Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, the West Coast and
Northern regions.
Proposals may be submitted by email to iaspm-halifax@hotmail.com
iaspm-halifax@hotmail.com> . They will be read blind by the program
committee. Abstracts for individual papers and roundtables should be no
longer than 300 words; proposals for panels should include an abstract of
no more than 300 words for the panel as a whole, as well as abstracts of no
more than 300 words for each paper proposed for the panel. The program
committee reserves the right to accept a panel but reject an individual
paper on that panel.
For questions about the conference, contact conference chair Jacqueline

¿Icono o Mito?
Raúl Manzano plasma la experiencia inmigrante/americana, a través de pinturas de la Estatua de la Libertad celebrando Latin American Cultural Week
NUEVA YORK, 1 de octubre de 2008 Esperanza, libertad y justicia para todos es el tema central de la exposición de Raúl Manzano ¿Icono o Mito? que se inaugura en la galería de Empire State College celebrando Latin American Cultural Week en la ciudad de Nueva York. La recepción es el jueves 23 de octubre, de 5:30 pm a 7:30 pm, en el 325 Hudson Street, 5 piso (entrada sobre la calle Van Dam).
La exposición presenta y pone en duda el significado de la Estatua de la Libertad como un símbolo de libertad y democracia. Con colores vibrantes y un lenguaje visual personal, sus pinturas estimulan las emociones, invitan al dialogo y reflexión acerca de los eventos importantes mundiales. El artista estará presente durante la apertura para hablar sobre su obra. La exposición estará abierta desde el 20 de octubre hasta el 20 de diciembre. La entrada es gratuita. La información de prensa esta disponible en www.raul-manzano.com.
Sus obras representan e incorporan el ideal de la Estatua de la Libertad en diferentes formas para envolver al observador introspectivamente o como a alguien que ha sido observado. Su trabajo provoca discusiones apasionantes acerca del verdadero significado de la libertad, haciendo que estos reflejen en los diversos aspectos de indentidad o se encuentren atraidos por las visions de otros. Esta interacción y discurso, en imagen y significado, es el mensaje intrínsico de Manzano,? dijo la Dr. Cynthia L. Ward, decana interina del centro metropolitano.
La obra de Manzano a contribuido a la educación y dialogo de temas controversiales. Sus exhibiciones incluye ?Campaña de alerta contra el SIDA?, en 1996, en el Broadway Mall Community Center, ?en América?, en 2003, en la cual represento la experiencia del inmigrante, en la galería William Edwards, en la Fairleigh Dickinson University, y ?América al Borde de un Ataque de Nervios?, en 2007, en St. Francis College, Brooklyn, en donde Manzano ofrecio a los observadores una forma de reflejar sobre sus percepciones acerca del futuro de la nación.
Raúl Manzano, un inmigrante de origen colombiano, ha tenido una carrera desafiante durante sus veintiocho años en los Estados Unidos pero su obra y filosofía esta comprometida a una causa, crear conciencia, provocar pensamiento y promover el valor del arte para cambios sociales. Manzano obtuvo su maestría en artes de Empire State College y su BFA, de la School of Visual Arts, ambas instituciones en la ciudad de Nueva York. El es director del programa de verano de la SVA ?Pintando en Barcelona?, en Barcelona, España y mentor en las artes en Empire State College.

Indigenous health care in Venezuela
It' s hard to know what's what with reports on Venezuela in the US media, but, with or without a grain of salt, an interesting story about the expulsion of US missionaries from indigenous areas of the Venezuelan Amazon, and its effects. A highlight quote:
“They put pictures of Yanomami everywhere, on tourist brochures, in airport lobbies, even on ambulances here in Puerto Ayacucho,” said Andrés González, 38, a Yanomami leader. “That’s where they want us, in pictures, not positions of power,” he said.
