SUMMARY:UNSUSTAINABLE EMPIRE: ALTERNATIVE HISTORIES OF HAWAI‘I STATEHOOD
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU and NYU Native Studies Forum. \nIn his new book Unsustainable Empire: Alternative Histories of Hawai‘i Statehood (Duke University Press\, 2018)\, Dean Itsuji Saranillio (NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis) offers a bold challenge to the narrative that the 1959 admission of Hawai‘i\, a largely non-white territory\, as a US state was a civil rights victory. Rather\, Saranillio argues that the expansion of US empire into the Pacific was imperative to the sustainability of the American economy\, and foregrounds the long history of Native Hawaiian opposition to statehood. Saranillio marshals a variety of unexpected genres and archives including political cartoons\, propaganda films\, water struggles\, and stories of hauntings to maintain that\, today\, Native Hawaiian place-based alternatives to US empire are urgently needed. Following a presentation from Saranillio\, J. Kēhaulani Kauanui (Wesleyan University)\, Nikhil Singh (NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis)\, and Símon Trujillo (NYU Department of English) offer responses. \n  \nThis venue is on the first floor and is accessible for wheelchair users. Single-stall all gender restrooms are available on the fourth and fifth floors of the building\, and are accessible via elevator. If you need any accommodations\, please email apa.rsvp@nyu.eduat least two weeks before the event date.

SUMMARY:Russia Without Putin Money\, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War- A Book Talk with Tony Wood
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, December 11th please join us for “Russia Without Putin Money\, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War- A Book Talk with Tony Wood”. \nIt is impossible to think of Russia today without thinking of Vladimir Putin. More than any other major national leader\, he personifies his country in the eyes of the world\, and dominates Western media coverage. In Russia itself\, he is likewise the centre of attention both for his supporters and his detractors. But\, as Tony Wood argues\, this focus on Russia’s president gets in the way of any real understanding of the country. The West needs to shake off its obsession with Putin and look beyond the Kremlin walls. \nIn this timely and provocative analysis\, Wood explores the profound changes Russia has undergone since 1991. In the process\, he challenges several common assumptions made about contemporary Russia. Against the idea that Putin represents a return to Soviet authoritarianism\, Wood argues that his rule should be seen as a continuation of Yeltsin’s in the 1990s. The core features of Putinism — a predatory elite presiding over a vastly unequal society — are in fact integral to the system set in place after the fall of Communism. \nWood also overturns the standard view of Russia’s foreign policy\, identifying the fundamental loss of power and influence that has underpinned recent clashes with the West. Russia without Putin concludes by assessing the current regime’s prospects\, and looks ahead to what the future may hold for the country as a whole. \nTony Wood is in the PhD program in Latin American History at NYU. He is previously the author of Chechnya: The Case for Independence (2007)\, and his writing has appeared in theLondon Review of Books\, The Guardian\, n+1 and The Nation\, among other places.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities\, By Alain Bertaud
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nJoin us on Tuesday\, December 10 at 5:30pm for the launch of Alain Bertaud’s new book from MIT Press\, Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities. In it\, Bertaud argues that operational urban planning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure. Drawing on five decades of urban planning experience in forty cities around the world\, Bertaud links cities’ productivity to the size of their labor markets; argues that the design of infrastructure and markets can complement each other; examines the spatial distribution of land prices and densities; stresses the importance of mobility and affordability; and critiques the land use regulations in a number of cities that aim at redesigning existing cities instead of just trying to alleviate clear negative externalities. Bertaud concludes by describing the new role that joint teams of urban planners and economists could play to improve the way cities are managed. \nEvent Program:\nProfessor William Easterly\, Co-Director of NYU’s Development Research Institute\, will provide an opening commentary on the book. Bertaud will then sit down for a discussion of the book with Weiping Wu\, Professor of Urban Planning and Director of the M.S. in Urban Planning program at Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning\, and Preservation\, before fielding questions from the audience. Books will be available for sale and signature. \n\nAlain Bertaud is Senior Research Scholar at New York University’s Marron Institute of Urban Management. He has worked as Principal Urban Planner for the World Bank and as an independent consultant and resident urban planner in cities ranging from Bangkok to New York. \nWilliam Easterly is Professor of Economics at New York University and Co-director of the NYU Development Research Institute. His most recent book is entitled The Tyranny of Experts: Economists\, Dictators\, and the\nForgotten Rights of the Poor. He is a Research Associate of NBER and has served as Co-Editor of the Journal of Development Economics. \n \nWeiping Wu is Professor of Urban Planning at Columbia GSAPP and Director of the M.S. Urban Planning program. Trained in architecture and urban planning\, Prof. Wu has focused her research and teaching on understanding urban dynamics in developing countries in general and China in particular. \n  \nThis event is co-hosted by NYU’s Marron Institute of Urban Management\, NYU’s Development Research Institute\, and NYU’s Urban Planning Student Association.

SUMMARY:Bakosó
DESCRIPTION:What does “Está Rico” by Marc Anthony\, Will Smith & Bad Bunny have in common with “Made For Now” by Janet Jackson x Daddy Yankee? They both high-jacked AfroBeats and did not give the genre’s origin props. Bakosó is a film that does the opposite\, following DJ Jigüe on a journey to his hometown of Santiago de Cuba as he explores Cuba’s manifestation of the global AfroBeats hype\, “bakosó”\, to discover where the roots of the genre come from. We know there is deep-rooted African influence in Cuba\, but bakosó itself is beautiful proof that the exchange did not end with the Transatlantic slave trade.

SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING AND DISCUSSION: MR. SOUL! ELLIS HAIZLIP AND THE BIRTH OF BLACK POWER TV
DESCRIPTION:Roght on the heels of the Civil Rights Movement\, one fearless black pioneer reconceived a Harlem Renaissance for a new era\, ushering giants and rising stars of black AMerican culture onto the national television stage. \nHe was hip. \nHe was smart. \nHe was innovative\, political and gay. \nIn his personal fight for social equality\, this man ensured the Revolution would be televised. \nThe man was Ellis Haizlip. The Revolution was SOUL! \nHaizlip was the host and executive producer of SOUL!\, the first “black Tonight Show.” In 1968\, SOUL! was launched as a local\, New York broadcast. In 1969 the series rolled out nationwide on PBS\, on WNET Channel 13. By 91973\, Haizlip had produced over 130 hour-long shows featuring a dazzling array of A-list guests: Sidney Poitier\, Harry Belafonte\, James Baldiwn\, Stevie Wonder\, Maya Angelou\, Ashford and Simpson\, Nikki Giovanni\, Al Green and Muhammad Ali — even a sixteen-year-old Arsenio Hall doing magic tricks. Mr. SOUL! (2018\, 1:30 min) invites us behind-the-scenes of this groundbreaking phenomenon\, from its initial conception to its final broadcast\, including the very public battle to keep it on air despite a shifting political landscape.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Looking Like a Language\, Sounding Like a Race by Jonathan Rosa
DESCRIPTION:How are Latinxs racialized through Language? Stanford professor Jonathan Rosa will be discussing his new book Looking Like a Language\, Sounding Like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in a predominantly Latinx Chicago public high school and its surrounding communities\, this presentation approaches Latinidad as a crucial site from which to understand the creation of racial\, linguistic\, and national borders\, as well as to reimagine worlds beyond these borders. Co-sponsored by NYU’s Anthropology Department. \nJonathan Rosa\, PhD\, is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics at Stanford. As a sociocultural and linguistic anthropologist\, Jonathan Rosa’s research theorizes the co-naturalization of language and race as a key feature of modern governance. Specifically\, he analyzes the interplay between youth socialization\, raciolinguistic formations\, and structural inequity in urban contexts.
