Under the Iron Heel: The Wobblies and the Capitalist War on Radical Workers
The romance and tragedy of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) has long captivated leftist historians, and Under the Iron Heel is very much a part of this tradition. Its members “met degradation with a surpassing courage and an astonishing dignity that should long ago have made legends of them all” (6). Briefly surveying the left of today in the conclusion, the author finds that “none of these groups really offers a vision of a workers’ com…

The World in a City: Multiethnic Radicalism in Early Twentieth-Century Los Angeles
David M. Struthers evokes the anarchists and syndicalists of Los Angeles from the turn of the twentieth century to the end of the 1910s, when their movements were most vibrant. His story draws to a close soon after World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution, and the Red Scare reshaped both radicalism and responses to it. However, his conclusion does helpfully bring us forward into the 1920s and 1930s. Struthers recently coedited the important and wide…
Toward a transnational model of social media privacy: How young Saudi transnationals do privacy on Facebook
Previous models of cross-cultural differences fail to adequately account for transnational patterns of social media use, especially as it relates to notions of privacy. Based on our study of young transnational Saudis, we propose a new model, the rubber band model of transnational privacy, to account for the way social media users stretch their conceptualization of privacy as practiced in their societies of origin to include new norms and practic…

Ideologies of language and race in US media discourse about the Trayvon Martin shooting
This article examines the discourse about race and racism that ensued in the US media after the shooting death of an African American youth, Trayvon Martin, by a neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, in February 2012. The analysis examines news programs from the three major cable television channels in the United States: CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. The theoretical framework builds upon Hill's (2008) discussion of the 'folk theory of race …
The politics of recontextualization: Discursive competition over claims of Iranian involvement in Iraq
The representation of issues, especially those that are highly contested or ambiguous, is an ongoing process always subject to challenge and new re-presentations. This article explores the discursive competition between journalists and White House officials over the recontextualization of words spoken by General Peter Pace, which seemingly cast doubt on White House claims of Iranian involvement in Iraq. Pace's words, along with those spoken by Wh…
Accusatory and exculpatory moves in the hunting for "Racists" language game
"Hunting for "Racists: Tape Fetishism and the Intertextual Enactment and Reproduction of the Dominant Understanding of Racism in US Society
The dominant racial ideology in US society narrowly conceptualizes racism as individual bigotry. This conception is enacted and legitimated through a type of language game that recontextualizes prior words to invoke evidence of an individual's racist credentials. This paper examines the way CNN journalists engage in this language game as they recontextualize the 911 call made by George Zimmerman before he killed Trayvon Martin in 2012. The analys…

The Political Economy of Truth in the “War on Terror” Discourse: Competing Visions of an Iraq/al Qaeda Connection
The textual analysis in this paper examines an interview with Vice-President Dick Cheney by Gloria Borger on CNBC's 2004 Capital Report. The interview took place on 17 June 2004, the day after the 9/11 Commission released Staff Statement No. 15, a twelve page preliminary report that concluded no “collaborative relationship” existed between Iraq and al-Qaeda. The aim of the analysis is to show how the struggle over “truth” unfolds in micro-level d…

A New Agenda in (Critical) Discourse Analysis , Edited by Ruth Wodak and Paul Chilton
Discourse, War and Terrorism
Discourse since September 11, 2001 has constrained and shaped public discussion and debate surrounding terrorism worldwide. Social actors in the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere employ the language of the “war on terror” to explain, react to, justify and understand a broad range of political, economic and social phenomena. Discourse, War and Terrorism explores the discursive production of identities, the shaping of ideologies…

Fighting in Paradise: Labor Unions, Racism, and Communists in the Making of Modern Hawai'i
Gerald Horne, an incredibly prolific Marxist scholar of racial oppression, class struggle, and imperialism in locales from California to India to the Caribbean, has built on several books on the Pacific region with a new volume focused on Hawaii. He chronicles the transformation of the archipelago during the dynamic period between the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1935 and statehood in 1959. The book is particular…
The Espionage and Sedition Acts in World War I: Using Wartime Loyalty Laws for Revenge and Profit
Daniel G. Donalson has written an original book on a subject that scholars have sifted through for generations. He does this by largely ignoring those convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 and, going further, by placing secondary emphasis even on those cases that went to trial. He is interested primarily in accusations—what their motivation and impact reveal about the political culture of the home front at the gra…
The paranoid style in politics: Ideological underpinnings of the discourse of Second Amendment absolutism
In American politics, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has asserted itself as a leading voice in the gun rights movement. The strident rhetoric emanating from the NRA leadership impacts the development of a broader discourse in American public life over gun rights — a discourse of Second Amendment absolutism — that articulates a set of assumptions and explanations in defense of an absolutist stance against gun regulation in any form. This pap…
