"From Miami's Little Havana to the immigrant world of West Tampa, from Immokalee farm worker centers to the cigar cities of Key West and Ybor City, Latinos have helped to shape Florida's cultural fabric. Examine the complexities of race, culture, ethnicity, identity, and nationality through a Latin lens. Probe the implications of the New Latino political movements, debates about immigrant rights, and the politics of diversity in our attempt to build a definition of what it means to be 'Floridian' in the new century."

This workshop "will provide the larger historical and cultural context for understanding the Pearl Harbor attacks by illuminating one of most important (if at times antagonistic) bilateral relationships in the 20th century— that between the United States and Japan—and the impact of that relationship on both nations’ international affairs. Importantly, it will explore the multiple histories that converge at Pearl Harbor—including not only American and Japanese but also Hawaiian and diverse American experiences, especially those of Americans of Japanese ancestry—reminding us that despite the mythic status of the Pearl Harbor story in American culture, there are in fact a number of “Pearl Harbors,” with different impacts and memories for diverse Americans and for people throughout the world." Visits to historical sites; meetings with Pearl Harbor survivors and Japanese-American who spent time in the U.S. internment camps; discussions; pedagogical sessions; and curriculum development will be included.
