REBEL: Loreta Velazquez, American Civil War Soldier and Spy
2015-04-02 17:00 - 19:30
Shrouded in mystery and long the subject of debate, the amazing story of Loreta Velazquez, Confederate soldier turned Union spy, is one of the Civil War’s most gripping forgotten narratives. A Cuban immigrant from New Orleans, Velazquez was one of the estimated 1000 women who secretly served as soldiers during the American Civil War. Who was she? Why did she fight? And what made her so dangerous that she has been virtually erased from history? Please join us at the CSRC for a special screening of this award-winning documentary about a woman, a myth, and the politics of national memory.Followed by Q&A with writer-director-producerMaría Agui Carter and Maylei Blackwell, Associate Professor of Chicana/o Studies and Gender StudiesThursday, April 2, 20155:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.CSRC Library – 144 Haines HallReception to follow Q&AFREE; no RSVP required.

Book Talk with Professor Smadar Lavie: Wrapped in the Flag of Israel: Mizrahi Single Mothers & Bureaucratic Torture
2015-02-25 15:30 - 17:30
The UCLA Department of Gender Studies and Center for the Study of Women present Book Talk with Prof. Smadar Lavie Wrapped in the Flag of Israel: Mizrahi Single Mothers & Bureaucratic Torture3:30-5:30 pm Wednesday, February 25, 2125 Rolfe Hall What is the relationship between social protest movements in the State of Israel, violence in Gaza, and the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran? Why did the mass social protests in the State of Israel of summer 2011 ultimately fail? Wrapped in the Flag of Israel discusses social protest movements from the 2003 Single Mothers’ March led by Mizrahi Vicky Knafo, to the “Tahrir is Here” Israeli mass protests of summer 2011. Equating bureaucratic entanglements with pain—what, arguably, can be seen as torture, Smadar Lavie explores the conundrum of loving and staying loyal to a state that repeatedly inflicts pain on its non-European Jewish women citizens through its bureaucratic system. The book presents a model of bureaucracy as divine cosmology and posits that Israeli State bureaucracy is based on a theological essence that fuses the categories of religion, gender, and race into the foundation of citizenship. Smadar Lavie is a visiting professor at the Institute for Social Science in the 21st Century, University College Cork. She specializes in the Anthropology of Egypt and Palestine-Israel.
