Disrupting the Abuse-Prison Nexus
The vast majority of people in U.S. women’s prisons are survivors of interpersonal violence, a pattern that organizers and advocates have referred to as the abuse-to-prison pipeline. This article critically examines criminal prosecution from the perspectives of survivors of interpersonal violence who faced long prison sentences in California. In-depth interviews and group discussions were generated through a participatory process at a gathering t…
Condemning J. Mark Ramseyer’s Paper “On the Invention of Identity Politics
We, the signatories to this statement, condemn the publication of J. Mark Ramseyer’s paper “On the Invention of Identity Politics: The Buraku Outcastes in Japan,” Review of Law and Economics (RLE) 16; 2 2020. The article does not meet scholarly standards; furthermore, the foundational argument is based on a logical fallacy, blaming Burakumin for the social conditions that underlie their oppression. This is a thin, recognizably reactionary move th…
Living together
What place is there for sympathy in politics or politics in sympathy? This essay takes inspiration from the Japanese formulation of multiculturalism ( tabunka-kyōsei or "the living together of multiple cultures") to explore the sympathetic politics of living together. Following a group of Japanese activists on a solidarity trip to Chennai, India, the essay builds a definition of politics-the creation of venues, scenes, and opportunities in which …
Yamanote's promise
The introduction of mechanized mass transit following the Meiji Restoration contributed to the transformation of public space in Japan. With the legal abolition of codified social hierarchy, a new category of person rose into being: the stranger. Interacting with strangers required different forms of comportment than had been required when there was a robust, legally-enforced social hierarchy. People had to attune themselves to the new protocols …
Wounded Futures
In 2006, a small group of Japanese sanitation workers traveled from Tokyo to Chennai, India to meet with a group they saw as potential comrades-the Dalit. Over the course of several days, these groups shared stories of pain and discrimination-the rigors of marginalization told alongside triumphs of resistance. This article focuses on the politics and aesthetics of this solidarity project between the Japanese Buraku people and the Dalit of South A…
The Ends of Anthropology
In this essay, I trace the operations of a moral optimism and a skepticism that lie, uneasily, at the foundation of sociocultural anthropology. As other authors of year‐in‐review pieces have noted, anthropology is motivated by a moral optimism pointing toward the possibilities of an ethically and politically better life. Equally as fundamental, I argue, is a rigorous skepticism interrogating the shifting conditions that give life to anthropology'…
