This article discusses how Zapatista women have built themselves as transformative political subjects that disrupt the racist, classist, and patriarchal nation-state. It underscores the importance of reflecting on Zapatista women, on their struggle for particular demands specified in the Revolutionary Women’s Law, especially the collective struggle for obtaining rights such as to land, to participate politically, and to organize themselves in the armed struggle. Instead of entering into debate over whether Zapatista women are feminists or not, this article recognizes how, besides transforming living conditions, the Zapatistas have organized politically and gone from a process of invisibility, silence, and obedience to one of recognition, speech, and command. In this sense, the struggle of Zapatista women is an example of theoretical and practical ruptures within the history of class, gender, and race struggled in Mexico and the world.

Two Poets, both laymen, stand out like brilliant stars on Mexico’s firmament, shedding the luster of the faith they loyally professed on the land they loved with equal loyalty, unfolding for Mexico’s glory the wealth of their poetic genius at a time when the storm clouds were gathering visibly and days of gloom and sorrow lowered over the Church and the faith to which their native land owed so much of her high and enviable culture. The two laymen in question are Manuel Carpio, who died in 1860, and José Joaquín Pesado, whose death occurred a year later. It is generally granted that Carpio and Pesado will always be cited in the history of Mexican literature as the leading revivers and exponents of classicism in their native land, without breaking away completely from the more popular and appealing forms of romanticism. It may be said that, as classicists, Carpio and Pesado took up and brought to fruition the movement begun by Martinez de Navarette and Sánchez de Tagle a half century earlier.

The history of the Assets Co v Mere Roihi decision, a well-known early Privy Council authority on indefeasibility of title under the Torrens system of land registration, illustrates the vulnerability of Maori to irregular land acquisition methods during the late 19th century. It also highlights the inadequacies of the Native Land Court system at the time. The author argues that the policy demands for legal certainty created a hidden and undue cost on the Maori participants: as a result of the case, Maori lost their main opportunity to gain redress for effectively or actually fraudulent dealings in their lands, and for mistakes made by the Land Court.

Regional Component

The article emphasizes that the History of Ukrainian Culture is a component of the humanitarian cycle of disciplines; that a successful use of region-related history materials in the course of its teaching is ensured due to their cross-curricular nature; these materials increase learning motivation. It is noted that the discipline “History of Ukrainian Culture” combines the study of culture history and current trends of socio-cultural development of society in the context of globalization and modernization. It is aimed at developing students’ intention to get involved into the native culture, to respect a person as the main value, regardless of nationality, religion, place of residence. The development regularities of the Ukrainian culture in the context of socio-historical circumstances as well as the panorama of national and world cultural processes and their main stages, specific phenomena of the national Ukrainian culture are the object of the course studies. The experience has shown that appealing to the origins and current state of Ukrainian culture, especially taking into consideration the regional component, arouses keen interest of education seekers. The acquired knowledge remains in memory, performs educational function, arouses further interest in learning the history, culture and traditions of the native land. One can say without any exaggeration that knowledge of the culture history of your own people, your country, and your native land enhances personality, forms values, and cultivates dignity in man. It is assumed that the use of region-related history materials at lectures and seminars makes it possible to talk more convincingly, illustratively, vividly about the major milestones in the history of both national and world culture, contributes to the patriotic upbringing of students. At present, the issues related to scientific and methodological substantiation of the use of the region-oriented materials in teaching the History of Ukrainian culture in order to generate the culture of patriotism seem to be topical.

The present study gives us an opportunity to look at the Christian heritage that the Serbian immigrants brought to the new land of Americas through the examples of Mihailo Pupin and Nikolai Velimirovic, Bishop of Zica, since these two names are indelibly inscribed in the history of the so-called Serbica Americana. The paper is divided into two sections dealing specifically with their Serbianism and Americanism to show that a distribution of love and loyalty between their native and adopted country functioned in a fruitful way. Based on a detailed analysis of their writings, the author suggests that Serbians and Americans remember Pupin and Velimirovic because they enjoy the benefits of their remarkable contributions. The following aspects of Pupin?s and Nikolai?s lives are examined: their deep concern with the fate of Serbia during and after the First World War; their leading roles among the Serbs in the United States through their assistance in establishing Serbian churches and communities, through their scholarship funds, philanthropic work, etc. Their genuine care for Serbia and Serbs was in no way an obstacle in their adjustment to their adopted country.
