Why Cubans Migrate to the United States at Recording Speed

Nearly 2.7 million people living in America were either born in Cuba or report Cuban descent. When Cuban people migrate to the United States, they often become targets of kidnappers who believe that they are likely to have family in the U.S. with means and willing to pay a ransom. So, Yonny Latifa, 27, had strong reason to worry when he found soldiers on the Honduran-Guatemala border on a trip to the United States earlier this year. “When I see them, I feel scared,” Latifa told the New Times. “The route through those Central American countries traffickers take you throughRead News

‘Slave Methods’ is a technology-based trademark where some slaves are sold in the French Quarter

Sculptures by artist Marcus Brown’s “Slavery Trails” don’t exist in the real world. But if you stand under the oaks on Esplanade Avenue on the edge of the French Quarter and activate your iPhone with a special QR code, a dozen creepy, digital ghosts will appear on your screen, hovering a few feet above the dusty neutral ground. Brown’s ghosts mark the site of a former marketplace where men, women and children were bought and sold. Like ghosts, the long-ago slave market is now invisible. But Brown wants people to know that, sociologically anyway, he’s still there. What makes Brown’sRead News

Science coverage of climate change could change minds – briefly

Scientific reports on climate change are leading Americans to adopt more firm beliefs and support government action on the matter – but these results are fragile, a new study suggests. Scientists have found that these exact beliefs quickly fade away and can erode when people are exposed to skeptical relationships about climate change. “It’s not that the US public does not respond to scientific reports when exposed to them,” said Thomas Wood, associate professor of political science at Ohio State University. “But even factually correct scientific reports drift away from the human frame of reference very quickly.” The study willRead News
