discuss political and security developments in his country. As Somalia works
toward planned national elections this year, President Mohamud will highlight
current efforts by his government and discuss strategies by which the Somali

and natural disasters. In the past few years, however, the country has been
rebuilding its economy and reestablishing a functioning government. Go to http://www.usip.org/events/somalia-talk-president-hassan-sheikh-ohamud?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=april_thirteen&utm_campaign=weekly_bulletin.

PRESENTS - SPATIALIZING BLACKNESS: ARCHITECTURES OF CONFINEMENT AND BLACK
MASCULINITY IN CHICAGO. Over 277,000 African Americans migrated to Chicago
between 1900 and 1940, an influx unsurpassed in any other northern city. From
the start, carceral powers literally and figuratively created a prison-like
environment to contain these African Americans within the so-called Black Belt
on the city's South Side. A geographic study of race and gender, the
book casts light upon the ubiquitous--and ordinary--ways carceral power
functions in places where African Americans live. Call
443-602-7585. Go to http://www.redemmas.org.
To be continued.
