Many scholars believe that the modern concentration camp was born during the Cuban war for independence when Spanish authorities ordered civilians living in rural areas to report to the nearest city with a garrison of Spanish troops. But the practice of spatial concentration—gathering people and things in specific ways, at specific places, and for specific purposes—has a history in Latin America that reaches back to the conquest. In this paradigm-setting book, Daniel Nemser argues that concentration projects, often tied to urbanization, laid an enduring, material groundwork, or infrastructure, for the emergence and consolidation of new forms of racial identity and theories of race.
Infrastructures of Race traces the use of concentration as a technique for colonial governance by examining four case studies from Mexico under Spanish rule: centralized towns, disciplinary institutions, segregated neighborhoods, and general collections. Nemser shows how the colonial state used concentration in its attempts to build a new spatial and social order, and he explains why the technique flourished in the colonies. Although the designs for concentration were sometimes contested and short-lived, Nemser demonstrates that they provided a material foundation for ongoing processes of racialization. This finding, which challenges conventional histories of race and mestizaje (racial mixing), promises to deepen our understanding of the way race emerges from spatial politics and techniques of population management.

Описание: With the advent of secularism, atheism, and relativism in this modern world, author Nemsy Gubatan felt the need to bring the simple and universal tenets of the teachings of Jesus. Hoping to bring to others the inner peace and joy that he has found, he has written Spiritual Gems from Above: Insights into Inner Peace and Joy. Dive in to discover the path to inner joy through a deep and special relationship with Abba, our heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ, our Savior. There are many transcendent forces that shape and affect our lives in ways we don't see. The spiritual and compelling essays in this book are designed to awaken the spiritual consciousness of the readers to the reality of these forces. The temptations of the material and secular world can pull someone adrift if that person is not aware of these forces. The personal testimony of Gubatan shows the importance of having this spiritual awakening to find a deep relationship with our heavenly Father, Abba. He is love, and to experience His love, one must accept Him. Gubatan documents what this loving familiarity with Abba can look like through his essays. His experiences have changed his life forever and beyond measure. These truths have brought Gubatan much inner peace and spiritual joy. Gubatan was born and educated in the Philippines as a Chemical Engineer and came to the United States to further his education. After he experienced Jesus Christ's personal and unconditional love during a traumatic deportation trial, he desired to give back to his rescuer and deliverer. After many years of Diaconal Training at the San Pedro Center, he was ordained a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of Orlando by Bishop Thomas Grady. Now he is currently serving as a Deacon at St. Margaret Mary Church in Winter Park, Florida.
