reply country without parents labor migration from moldova posted on 06 30 2013 by sesshu reply whose parents are living in italy asked the teacher as she stood in front of a first grade class in cirpesti a small village in southeast moldova with a mixture of pride and embarrassment about 20 of the 30 children raised their hands i was shocked i knew the statistics on labor migration and remittances but the lives behind the numbers were staring me in the face as i stood in a cold leaky classroom and learned that it had been years since most of these six year olds had seen their parents who were working 2 000 kilometers away as cleaning ladies or harvest helpers this experience and others inspired me to continue my photography in moldova my images aim to look behind the statistics to reveal the impact of migration on families and society and ask how high a price parents and children pay for it moldova is the poorest country in europe forty percent of the people live below the poverty line meanwhile more than one third of the adult working population has left the country according to official estimates at least 690 000 of the 4 3 million moldovans are living and working abroad mostly in eu countries and in russia although the actual number varies according to different sources and probably exceeds one million that makes moldova one of europe s leading countries in labor migration the remittances that the migrant workers send home are a major factor in preventing the economy from collapsing yet labor migration has many downsides including a brain drain in which moldova s most active and educated people search for better economic opportunities abroad although many wind up working as unskilled laborers for low pay this work still brings more than what they could earn at home migration also contributes to the disintegration of families and has torn the social fabric of moldovan society whether in cities or the country there is hardly a family in which at least one parent is not working abroad in many cases the children remain in moldova and live with relatives acquaintances or even on their own they often don t see their parents for months or years continue reading posted in history justice labor people politics video women youth leave a reply immigration reform 101 unmasking s 744 posted on 06 28 2013 by sesshu reply a video

a tale of two poets rachida madani and marilyn hacker posted on 05 12 2013 by sesshu reply rachida madani and marilyn hacker photo by tam hussein by tam hussein multiculturalism has lately taken a bit of a thrashing from the political and intellectual elite in the west it used to be the answer for everything the epitome of respect inclusiveness and fostering tolerance somewhere along the line it suddenly became inadequate something that created segregation prevented national unity and common purpose among other things a recent chatham house brief the roots of extremism suggests that there are a growing number of people in europe who believe that inter communal conflict is inevitable yet perhaps the relationship between the award winning poet rachida madani her translator american poet marilyn hacker is a great example of how to reverse this worrying trend on the face of it one would not expect these artists to get along they seem like oil and water both were in london to promote madani s tales of a severed head which was translated by hacker the collection of poems addresses the issues of colonialism corruption human rights abuses poverty and misogyny in a way as she says to

anthropologists at the campus that is now known as parnassus heights at ucsf ishi the last known speaker of the yahi language is immortalized in nearly six hours of recordings on 148 wax cylinders made between 1911 and 1914 by uc anthropologists alfred kroeber and thomas waterman the yahi language was unusual in that different dialects were used depending on whether one was speaking to a man or a woman during those years ishi lived on the parnassus campus where the university of california museum of anthropology was located in 1931 the museum relocated to uc berkeley where the recordings remain the yahi were estimated to number several hundred in the northern california foothills during gold rush days after their initial encounters with white civilization their numbers dwindled over
