Peru’s political confrontations lacked the clear-cut ideological contours that characterized civil strife in\, say\, the United States\, Argentina\, Colombia\, Mexico\, or Uruguay\, where nineteenth-century struggles created enduring memories that\, in turn\, shaped much of these countries? political identities and national imaginings in the twentieth century. Peru’s civil wars\, by contrast\, have been overshadowed by the War of the Pacific (1879-1883)\, which Peru and Bolivia lost to Chile. Thus\, on the surface\, Peru is an unlikely country to choose for an exploration of the interplay between civil wars\, state-making\, and national imaginings.\nMy book in progress\, The Wars Within\, reverts such a tacit common-sense argument and proposes a reappraisal of Peru?s political history by looking at the ?wars within\,? or Peru?s civil nineteenth-century civil wars\, in light of this country’s most recent civil conflagration: the one unleashed by the Maoist Party and terrorist organization Sendero Luminoso\, between 1980 and 1999. Concurrently\, this project constitutes an exploration of Charles Tilly’s theoretical claim that war making and state making are interrelated process. \nhm 4/8/10\, 5/5 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/subversion-or-citizenship-civil-wars-state-making-and-national-imaginings-in-peru-a-historical-and-theoretical-perspective/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20100511T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100511T000000 DTSTAMP:20260423T164216 CREATED:20150928T112818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112818Z UID:10001826-1273536000-1273536000@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Muslim Scare in Europe: Hysteria or Threat? DESCRIPTION:Award-winning author and journalist Ian Buruma will discuss the debates about Muslim radicalism\, immigration\, and the challenge from religion in several European countries where anti-immigrant populism is on the rise and Islam is the main focus – from the arguments about multiculturalism in Britain to the proposed burqa ban in France. Is the danger posed by Muslim immigrants real? If it is exaggerated\, why the general hysteria? Buruma will address these questions and others raised in his new book Taming the Gods\, a sharp-eyed look at the tensions between religion and politics on three continents: Europe\, Asia and North America.\nBuruma is also the author of Anglomania\, Inventing Japan\, and Murder in Amsterdam: Liberal Europe\, Islam\, and the Limits of Tolerance\, which won a Los Angeles Times Book Award. Courtesy of Borders\, copies of Taming the Gods will be available for purchase and signing at this event. \n“Ian Buruma addresses questions of political philosophy\, moral accountability and mass psychology in the most rigorous possible way: journalistically.” The New York Times \nPresented as part of the Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UCSB\, a program of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, cosponsored by UCSB Arts & Lectures\, the Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing. \nhm 4/25/10 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-muslim-scare-in-europe-hysteria-or-threat/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20100512T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100512T000000 DTSTAMP:20260423T164216 CREATED:20150928T112818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112818Z UID:10001835-1273622400-1273622400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The End of the Public University and the Beginning of the Next DESCRIPTION:History is replete with nations that declined because their leaders gradually undermined their own best institutions. The U.S. now appears to be doing this to its exemplary higher education system\, with the University of California serving as Exhibit A. This lecture will look at the contradictions within the American funding model for higher education\, and discuss three major symptoms: reduced affordability for students\, the loss of US educational preeminence in 20 years\, and underdeveloped social and cultural disciplines. It will also suggest two major steps through which the decline of public higher education could be reversed. Professor Newfield has offered an authoritative view of UC Budget issues and the funding shortfall crisis on his blog: http://utotherescue.blogspot.com\nSponsored by the Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment and the IHC’s Future of the University Series. \nhm 5/11/10 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-end-of-the-public-university-and-the-beginning-of-the-next/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
