Garments on the Move
Garments on the Move presents an analysis of the interaction between local-level cluster dynamics and globalization processes in the garment industry. Geographically, the focus is on La Laguna, a garment export cluster in northern Mexico that has experien
Globalization, Regional Development and Local Response
"In a world that has become increasingly interconnected over the past decades - economically, politically, socially, and culturally - new challenges are posed to development. Since the 1980s, development has increasingly become interpreted in terms of increasing integration into the world economy. Export-oriented manufacturing became widely viewed as the surest recipe for realizing economic growth while reducing income inequality, and the role of foreign direct investments became increasingly important in development strategies worldwide. However, not every region, industry and social group managed to become successfully integrated into the world economy. In order to explain why these proces...
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the...
Unmentionables
As weavers, garment workers, and peddlers, Syrian immigrants in the Americas fed the early twentieth-century transnational textile trade. These migrants and the commodities they produced—silk, linen, and cotton; lace and embroidery; undergarments and ready-wear clothing—moved along steamship routes from Beirut through Marseille and Madeira to New York City, New England, and Veracruz. As migrants and merchants crisscrossed the Atlantic in pursuit of work, Syrian textile manufacturing expanded across the hemisphere. Unmentionables offers a history of the global textile industry and the Syrians, Lebanese, and Palestinians who worked in it. Stacy Fahrenthold examines how Arab workers navigat...
History of the Islamic Centre of Southern California 1950-1977
This book documents the history of the Muslim community in the United States, and particularly in California, and the foundation and evolution of the Southern California Islamic Center. The associated digital archive was built in an ongoing project with the University of California, Los Angeles. This substantial work of social history analyses the Islamic Center’s work from 1953 to 1977 as it tries to establish itself within the mosaic of Southern Californian society. The work of the Islamic Centre has hardly been documented in the literature, and the social history of the wider Muslim Community in the USA is arguably under-researched. This is a unique and important contribution, of interest to historians, social scientists and students of race and religion in America.
Desafios na identificação e organização de fotografias: abordagens teóricas e boas práticas nos arquivos brasileiros
A fotografia é um documento de arquivo. Esse é o fio condutor deste livro e sobre o qual o leitor caminhará. Este fio condutor levará o leitor para duas vias: Reflexões e Vivências, elas refletem, por sua vez, como observou Philippe Dubois a diversidade de abordagens, do pensamento e da prática da fotografia. A abordagem privilegiada, nesse caso, é a da arquivologia, ou ainda, uma abordagem interdisciplinar que contempla a fotografia como documento de arquivo relacionada a ciência da informação, a diplomática, a história, a sociologia, a linguística, a tecnologia. Esta interdisciplinaridade, não está tão somente na via das Reflexões, ela também é aspecto presente na via das Vivências. Há, então, uma tessitura criada por cada autor no sentido de proporcionar um amplo campo do conhecimento sobre o fotográfico, é, afinal, dele que se fala, escreve, lê, pratica.
