  Marshall Field's - The Store...

  Anyone who has waited in a Christmas line for the Walnut Room's Great Tree can attest that Chicago's loyalty to Marshall Field's is fierce. 
   
   
   
  Dayton-Hudson even had to take out advertising around town to apologize for changing the Field's hallowed green bags. And with good reason—the store and those who ran it shaped the city's streets, subsidized its culture, and heralded its progress. The resulting commercial empire dictated wholesale tradeterms in Calcutta and sponsored towns in North Carolina, but its essence was always Chicago. So when the Marshall Field name was retired in 2006 after the stores were purchased by Macy's, protest slogans like "Field's is Chicago" and "Field's: as Chicago as it gets" weren't just emotional hype. Many still hope that name will be resurrected like the city it helped support during the Great Fire and the Great Depression. Until then, fans of Marshall Field's can celebrate its history with this warm look back at the beloved institution.

  Chile - Historical Revolution...

  Chile’s history is a tapestry woven with threads of indigenous heritage, colonial conquest, political revolution, and economic transformation. Stretching along the western edge of South America, Chile’s unique geography—bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the towering Andes to the east—has shaped not only its physical landscape but also its historical trajectory and economic development. The country’s diverse climates, from the arid Atacama Desert in the north to the fertile central valleys and the rugged, windswept terrain of Patagonia in the south, have influenced settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and resource exploitation for centuries. 
  Long before Spanish colonization, Chile was home to numerous indigenous groups, including the Mapuche, who fiercely resisted foreign domination. Their cultural legacy remains an integral part of Chile’s identity, despite centuries of marginalization. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century marked the beginning of a colonial era characterized by the extraction of natural resources, the establishment of a rigid social hierarchy, and the introduction of European institutions. The colonial economy relied heavily on agriculture, mining, and forced indigenous labor, laying the foundation for economic systems that persisted well into the post-independence period. 
  Chile’s struggle for independence from Spain in the early 19th century was part of the broader wave of liberation movements sweeping across Latin America. Achieving independence in 1818 under the leadership of figures like Bernardo O’Higgins and José de San Martín, Chile faced the daunting task of nation-building. The early republican period was marked by political instability and power struggles between conservative and liberal factions, each advocating different visions for Chile’s future.

  Stealing My Religion - Not Just...

  Liz Bucar

  We think we know cultural appropriation when we see it. Blackface or Native American headdresses as Halloween costumes—these clearly give offense. But what about Cardi B posing as the Hindu goddess Durga in a Reebok ad, AA's twelve-step invocation of God, or the earnest namaste you utter at the end of yoga class? 
   
   
   
  Liz Bucar unpacks the ethical dilemmas of a messy form of cultural appropriation: the borrowing of religious doctrines, rituals, and dress for political, economic, and therapeutic reasons. Does borrowing from another's religion harm believers? Bucar sees religion as an especially vexing arena for appropriation debates because faiths overlap and imitate each other and because diversity within religious groups scrambles our sense of who is an insider and who is not. 
   
   
   
  Stealing My Religion guides us through three revealing case studies—the hijab as a feminist signal of Muslim allyship, a study abroad "pilgrimage" on the Camino de Santiago, and the commodification of yoga in the West. Reflecting on her own missteps, Bucar comes to a surprising conclusion: the way to avoid religious appropriation isn't to borrow less but to borrow more—to become deeply invested in learning the roots and diverse meanings of our enthusiasms.
