Title: LOCATING THE VILLAGE TEQUESTA USING CHI-SQUARE ANALYSIS.
Creator: Thai, Justin, Brown, Clifford T., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Anthropology, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: The Miami Circle (8DA12) is a site in downtown Miami, Florida with a unique prehistoric feature. The feature is made up of small post holes which reflect a larger patterned arrangement that resembles a circle, most probably the remnants of a prehistoric structure. The Miami Circle was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 and declared a National Historic Landmark on January 16, 2009. The site has been linked to the Tequesta Indians.

Show moreThe Miami Circle (8DA12) is a site in downtown Miami, Florida with a unique prehistoric feature. The feature is made up of small post holes which reflect a larger patterned arrangement that resembles a circle, most probably the remnants of a prehistoric structure. The Miami Circle was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 and declared a National Historic Landmark on January 16, 2009. The site has been linked to the Tequesta Indians. This project utilized chi-square 𝑥2 test of independence statistical analytical methods using data obtained from the Miami Circle site and neighboring sites to determine the logical boundaries of the prehistoric village called Tequesta. Chi-square testing will determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the sites based on calculations of expected and observed frequency for sets of recovered artifacts.

Title: The Jews of greater Miami: An historical perspective.
Creator: Shaw, Martin., Florida Atlantic University, Mohl, Raymond A.
Abstract/Description: The principal purpose of this thesis is to provide an historical perspective on the Jewish presence in Greater Miami from its beginnings in 1896 to the present. In the early years, Jews were forced to endure widespread anti-Semitism. However, by the 1950's Jewish tenacity largely defeated the exponents of bigotry. Jewish entrepreneurship produced an environment that resulted in world-wide recognition of Miami Beach and its environs as the ultimate winter resort area. During this process,...
Show moreThe principal purpose of this thesis is to provide an historical perspective on the Jewish presence in Greater Miami from its beginnings in 1896 to the present. In the early years, Jews were forced to endure widespread anti-Semitism. However, by the 1950's Jewish tenacity largely defeated the exponents of bigotry. Jewish entrepreneurship produced an environment that resulted in world-wide recognition of Miami Beach and its environs as the ultimate winter resort area. During this process, Miami's Jews built a strong sense of community that revolved around a variety of religious and cultural institutions. By 1975, the Miami area's Jewish population reached 289,210. Since then, an aging population, indifferent leadership, Black militancy, a vast crime increase, and a Hispanic population explosion contributed to a Jewish exodus that brought about a precipitous decline of Jewish population to 202,000. In nine decades, the Jewish presence has gone from spectacular growth to alarming decline.

Title: Cultural and spatial perceptions of Miami's Little Havana.
Creator: Cordoba, Hilton A., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Geosciences
Abstract/Description: Miami's "Little Havana" is known by many for its famous Southwest 8th Street, the Calle Ocho festival, and for the many Latin people, particularly Cubans, that live in the area. However, the current name of the neighborhood hides all of the dynamics of neighborhood change and creates the notion that Little Havana is a static monoculture neighborhood.

Show moreMiami's "Little Havana" is known by many for its famous Southwest 8th Street, the Calle Ocho festival, and for the many Latin people, particularly Cubans, that live in the area. However, the current name of the neighborhood hides all of the dynamics of neighborhood change and creates the notion that Little Havana is a static monoculture neighborhood. This study measured people's perception of Little Havana by surveying 153 residents to identify the cultural associations and to capture the participant's spatial perceptions of Little Havana. This study found that survey participants from inside the study area associated Little Havana more with Cuban culture and had more positive things to say about the neighborhood. Finally, this study suggests that the core of Little Havana was encompassed by West Flagler Street on the north, Southwest 8th Street on the south, Southwest 27th Avenue on the west, and Southwest 4th Avenue on the east.

Title: A narrative analysis of "The Miami Herald"'s coverage of the Elian Gonzalez saga.
Creator: Caravella, Kristi D., Florida Atlantic University, Scodari, Christine
Abstract/Description: This study examines the coverage of an event that took place mostly in Miami, Florida and was reported on by The Miami Herald for more than six months. There are several issues that are addressed in this thesis. The primary hypothesis of this analysis is that the coverage of the Elian Gonzalez custody battle as it appeared in The Miami Herald uses the same narrative techniques as those used in fictional melodrama or soap operas. John Fiske's theory of melodrama as developed from Brown (1987)...
Show moreThis study examines the coverage of an event that took place mostly in Miami, Florida and was reported on by The Miami Herald for more than six months. There are several issues that are addressed in this thesis. The primary hypothesis of this analysis is that the coverage of the Elian Gonzalez custody battle as it appeared in The Miami Herald uses the same narrative techniques as those used in fictional melodrama or soap operas. John Fiske's theory of melodrama as developed from Brown (1987) and a similar model used by Fiske (1987) is used to compare the specified piece of news coverage with generic soap opera narrative elements. The historical and political backgrounds of the Miami-Cuban community are integral factors in this news phenomenon---their roles in this controversy are thoroughly analyzed. Serious implications occurred as a result of this coverage; they are discussed in the conclusion of this thesis.

Title: Miami's second ghetto.
Creator: Van Dyke, Teresa B., Florida Atlantic University, Mohl, Raymond A.
Abstract/Description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the social and institutional forces that created the second ghetto in Miami during the three decades following World War II. During this period, Miami's inner-city ghetto was razed and a new ghetto, sanctioned by federal and local legislation and agencies, was established in the northwest section of Dade County. The northwest section, which contained a few black enclaves in 1945, was transformed into a sprawling black ghetto by 1960. The transition of...
Show moreThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the social and institutional forces that created the second ghetto in Miami during the three decades following World War II. During this period, Miami's inner-city ghetto was razed and a new ghetto, sanctioned by federal and local legislation and agencies, was established in the northwest section of Dade County. The northwest section, which contained a few black enclaves in 1945, was transformed into a sprawling black ghetto by 1960. The transition of the area from predominantly white to black produced racial conflicts that erupted into violence as the white majority tried to uphold segregation in Miami. In 1980, 85 percent of Dade County's African American population resided in the northwest section. This did not happen by accident; Miami's second ghetto was shaped, maintained, and reinforced through government policy, the real estate industry, and racial prejudice.

After placing the Liberty City uprising in national and local contexts, the thesis chronicles race relations and African American living conditions in Miami from the late nineteenth century through the 1960s.

Show moreThis thesis examines the circumstances leading to the 1968 ghetto riot in the Liberty City community of Miami, Florida. After placing the Liberty City uprising in national and local contexts, the thesis chronicles race relations and African American living conditions in Miami from the late nineteenth century through the 1960s. The thesis focuses upon major grievances of Miami's black community in the 1960s. These included deplorable housing conditions, economic exploitation, bleak employment prospects, racial discrimination, poor police-community relations, and economic competition with Cuban refugees who settled in the Miami area during the 1960s. The thesis argues that the riot in Liberty City constituted a form of African American protest against these factors. In brief, Miami's 1968 ghetto revolt marked an attempt by local black residents to improve their life chances and living standards by demanding empowerment within their own communities and control over the processes that affected their lives.
