Résumé: “Les gens se ressemblent.” Melchor Megeçi ou Hamete Çamar; une vie entre les deux rives (1544-1591) L’étude d’un complexe procès inquisitorial pose le problème de l’identification des personnes à l’Époque Moderne. Un corsaire de Tétouan, capturé dans les eaux du détroit de Gibraltar en 1589, nie être un morisco-grenadin fuyant vers l’Afrique du Nord. Le document offre une image vivante de transit et de mobilité des personnes entre les deux rives du détroit et des relations tantôt violentes tantôt solidaires établies entre ces deux espaces. Mots clès: Hamete Çamar, Inquisition, Âge moderne, Moriscos, Afrique du Nord, mobilité. Abstract: “People Resemble Each Other.” Melchor Megeçi or Hamete Çamar; a Life Between the Two Shores (1544-1591) The study of a complex inquisitorial trial poses the problem of identification of individuals in the Early Modern Age. A corsair of Tetuan, captured in Gibraltar in 1589, denies being a Grenadian morisco fled to North Africa. Numerous attestations corrobórate that they are the same person. The document offer a vivid picture of transit of people between the two shores of the Strait of Gibraltar and of the relationships, violent and solidarity, established between them. Keywords: Hamete Çamar, Inquisition, Modern Age, Moriscos, North Africa, Mobility. Resumen: “Las gentes se parecen unas a otras.” Melchor Megeçi o Hamete Çamar; una vida entre las dos orillas (1544-1591) El estudio de un complejo proceso inquisitorial plantea el problema de la identificación de las personas en la Edad Moderna. Un corsario de Tetuán, capturado en Gibraltar en 1589, niega ser un morisco huido al Norte de África. Las numerosas testificaciones permiten corroborar que se trata de la misma persona y nos ofrecen una imagen viva del tránsito entre las dos orillas del Estrecho de Gibraltar y de las relaciones, violentas y solidarias, que se establecen entre ellas. Palabras clave: Hamete Çamar, Inquisición, Edad Moderna, Moriscos, África del Norte, movilidad.

Business and the Poor in the Dominican Republic
How business helps and hurts the poor in the Dominican Republic
This class was designed to try to help students to see
the Dominican Republic through the lenses of how
business is done here, the economic situation, and how
it affects the lives of Dominicans– particularly the poor–
for better or for worse.
We do readings from a wide variety of sources,
including sociology, history, philosophy, Christian
teachings, economics, ethics, and other disciplines.
The Institute of Latin American Concern (ILAC) is a
small campus located just off of one of the main
highways east out of Santiago near a ‘suburb’ called
“licey” (lee-say). It was founded in the early 1970′s by a
priest and was used as a retreat center for priests for
some time but soon began to be used by Creighton as
an emersion-education center for their medical
students– bringing students down for various periods
of time to work especially with the rural poor, but also to
do some rotations in local hospitals.
Chamber of Commerce
Places we visited:
The Chamber of Commerce
The city dump where many poor go to collect things
A banana plantation
A free trade zone
The philanthropic foundation of one of the
wealthiest companies in the DR
A cigar manufacturing factory
Altagracia, a clothing factory which pays its
employees good wages
A nonprofit who helps provide clean water
A bakery owned by a woman who has 40 employees
The school of Arts and Sciences eventually developed
their “Encuentro Dominicano” program, which is a
semester-long program where students stay for an
entire semester and take a few different courses,
including Spanish and a 6 hr class on Dominican
Republic’s history and culture. This “Business and the
Poor” class was a new class for the ED program.
