In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th-October 15th), we are focusing on a cornerstone of bomba, the drum. The Yale Latino Networking Group, New Haven Museum, and Peabody Museum are providing barriles de bomba kits and a video tutorial to the first 200 registrants.
Then bring along your drum to the live virtual performance of Bomba, with the traditional drums called barriles, with our friends at Movimiento Cultural Afro-Continental on Saturday, October 2.
It is possible to identify gendered disadvantage at almost every point in a migrant woman’s journey, physical and legal, from country of origin to country of destination, from admission to naturalization. Rules which explicitly distribute migration opportunities differently on the grounds of sex/gender, such as prohibitions on certain women’s emigration, may produce such disadvantage. Women may also, however, be disadvantaged by facially gender-neutral rules.
