SUMMARY:Authors Amplified Series: J. T. Way's Agrotropolis: Youth\, Street\, and Nation in the New Urban Guatemala
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices continues with an in-person interview with J.T. Way\, professor of history at Georgia State University\, on his recently released book\, Agrotropolis: Youth\, Street\, and Nation in the New Urban Guatemala. \nNote: Space for the in-person event at the Global Atlanta offices\, is limited to the first 20 guests. Tickets are $15. A meet and greet with the author will begin at 11 a.m.\, followed by an in-person interview starting at 11:30.\n \nFor public health and safety reasons\, everyone attending in person must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and wear masks during the event. \nCan’t make it? This event will also be broadcasted and viewable free of charge via Zoom. Please select your preferred option when registering. \nHosted by Constellations\, home to the Global Atlanta offices:  \n \nAbout the Book\n \nAs a scholar whose research applies directly as testimony in asylum cases\, J.T. Way is well-versed in why thousands of Guatemalans are fleeing for their lives. He explains many of these realities in his new book\, Agrotropolis: Youth\, Street\, and Nation in the New Urban Guatemala. A fragile democracy in a country torn up by war and genocide gets gutted in its infancy as neoliberal policies shrink the state. Local thugs make towns their fiefdoms as lawlessness\, corruption\, and common and organized crime sweep the landscape. Neighborhood watch patrols become vigilante lynch mobs. Gender-based violence rises to the level of femicide. Youngsters make it through high school but find no work in an extractive economy propped up by migrants’ remittances and aptly symbolized by unregulated offshore banks. Hopes for a better life around the end of the war in 1996 fade in the next two decades as a “war of all against all” brings more violence and despair. \nAgrotropolis draws on a varied archive of primary sources\, as well as Way’s ethnographic field work in a nation he’s explored since 1991 and lived in from 2002 to 2012. It maps documents on politics\, economics\, and development against a kaleidoscopic array of cultural productions. It’s the first book to tell the story of Guatemalan rock nacional\, with genres ranging from death metal to grunge to Maya rock-folk fusion and Spanish and Mayan-language rap. Way examines ad campaigns and pop-culture websites\, blogs\, and Facebook and YouTube posts and comments. The book also traces a florescence of new novels and films and an explosion in photography\, painting\, wild-style graffiti and break-dancing. All of these art forms arose in fertile dialogue with a “Maya power” movement that spearheaded a cultural sea-change in the nation. Street art\, slang\, style and fashion\, leisure activities\, and even the postures and gestures wrapped up in people’s “forma de ser” (way of being) all find a place in this history. \nAbout the Author\nAuthor of Agrotropolis\, J.T. Way\nJ. T. Way is an Associate Professor who teaches and researches Latin American history at Georgia State University. A Central Americanist\, his main area of specialty is 20th- and 21st-century Guatemala\, about which he has published various articles and two scholarly books. The Mayan in the Mall: Globalization\, Development\, and the Making of Modern Guatemala (Duke\, 2012) maps the transnational project of development against the activities of the working poor in Guatemala City from 1920 to the new millennium\, showing how the largest city in Central America—where shantytowns and humble municipal and street markets abut luxurious malls and wealthy neighborhoods—came to have such stunning contrasts. Agrotropolis: Youth\, Street\, and Nation in the New Urban Guatemala (University of California\, 2021) teams an examination of the rapid urbanization of the agrarian countryside with the history of popular youth culture from 1983 to the 2010s. It shows how youth have used ethnic pride\, tradition\, pop culture\, and “street culture” to challenge the nation’s system of castes and create a popular alternative nationalism\, despite—and in dialogue with—the horrible conditions that confronted them. \nJ. T. has extensively traveled in Latin America since he first explored the region in a 14-month-long backpacking trip in 1991 and 1992\, later earning an MA in Latin American History at Tulane University\, and a second MA and his Ph.D. (2006) from Yale. He likes to joke that he left to do his doctoral research in Guatemala in 2002 and “never came back\,” since he ended up residing in the country until he joined the GSU faculty in 2012. During that time\, he founded and led a U.S.-international school and was a Faculty Affiliate of the University of Arizona\, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on Guatemala at CIRMA\, the Center for Mesoamerican Research (Centro de Investigaciones Regionales de Mesoamérica\, a prestigious social science archive and research center in Antigua\, Guatemala). At the time he joined the GSU faculty\, J. T. was serving as CIRMA’s Director\, a position he held from abroad through the first trimester of 2013. When global health conditions permit\, he still spends several months a year in Guatemala\, and is currently working on a book on the root causes of the flood of refugees from the Northern Triangle seeking asylum in the United States. He also regularly serves as an expert witness in asylum hearings for Guatemalans and Hondurans. \nAbout the Series\nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.

SUMMARY:Master Class Series: Scottish Influences on a Southern Menu
DESCRIPTION:Reverence is stocking their shelves\, but with a taste of Scotland in mind. When tasked with opening a restaurant\, chefs draw inspiration from many sources to make a menu\, most often their heritage and personal memories. \nChef Ewart Wardhaugh\, opening chef of Reverence at the Epicurean Atlanta\, may be in the South today\, but his heart will always be in Scotland. A traditional larder in Scotland is something he treasures most\, and guests will enjoy its influence on the menu he’s created. \nIn this deep-dive journey across the sea\, explore both the ancient and modern influences that shaped Scottish cuisine\, all interpreted with a Southern spin. From seasonal Scottish game birds and shellfish\, to house cured Epicurean Gravadlax\, participants in this hands-on experience will learn from a master\, the techniques and craft of Scottish food preparation and preservation. \nNo gaelic journey would be complete without a proper whisky (no e!) to wash it all down. You can look forward to a thorough exploration of single-malt scotches presented by Whiskey Culture blogger Greg Sinadinos\, as you explore the latest influence on Atlanta’s culinary heartbeat.

SUMMARY:Midori Goto Concert + Meet and Greet at the Atlanta Symphony
DESCRIPTION:What can be said about Midori that hasn’t already been said? One of the leading concert violin soloists for more than 35 years\, Midori remains in constant demand by orchestras around the world. Later this year she will be honored at the 43rd annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington D.C.\, in recognition of lifetime artistic achievement. No matter what she’s playing\, Midori brings new life and vision to each performance. While it’s challenging to rank Tchaikovsky’s works by their beauty\, his Violin Concerto is arguably one of his finest\, and in the hands of Midori\, is a not-to-be-missed experience. \nAlso on the program\, Spanish conductor Juanjo Mena leads the orchestra in James Lee III’s Sukkot Through Orion’s Nebula\, composed with a vision of two heavens: the spiritual (Orion’s Nebula) and the physical (the Jewish observance of Sukkot)\, where happy family feasts take place outside under tents. The evening concludes with Schumann’s striding Fourth Symphony. \nThe Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will be implementing a mandatory vaccine policy for audiences. Beginning September 1\, 2021\, proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours prior to performance\, as well as matching photo ID\, will be required upon arrival at Atlanta Symphony Hall. More details are available on our Health & Safety page at www.aso.org/health-safety.

SUMMARY:The Rise of China Inc.: How the Chinese Communist Party Transformed China into a Giant Corporation
DESCRIPTION:Book Presentation – The Rise of China Inc.: How the Chinese Communist Party Transformed China into a Giant Corporation\nLeveraging its absolute power\, low human rights advantage\, and tolerance by other countries\, the Chinese Communist Party has transformed China into a giant corporation. Living and working are not rights but privileges granted by the party. State-owned firms are business units or subsidiaries\, private firms are joint ventures\, and foreign firms are franchisees of the party. ‘China\, Inc.\,’ enjoys the agility of a firm and the vast resources of a state. Meanwhile\, foreign firms competing with Chinese firms can find themselves matched against the mighty Chinese state. China\, Inc. will interest many readers: it will compel business scholars to rethink state-firm relationships; assist multinational business practitioners in formulating effective strategies; aid policymakers in countering China’s expansion; and inform the public of the massive corporate organization China has become and how democracies can effectively deal with it. \nShaomin Li is Professor and Eminent Scholar at Old Dominion University. His research has appeared in Journal of International Business Studies\, Harvard Business Review\, The Economist\, The Wall Street Journal\, and The Financial Times. He is author of Bribery and Corruption in Weak Institutional Environments (Cambridge University Press\, 2019). \nCo-Sponsors: \n\nAtlanta Council on International Relations\nChina Research Center\nOld Dominion University Strome College of Business
