The Routledge History of American Sexuality
"The Routledge History of American Sexuality brings together contributions from leading scholars in history and related fields to provide a far-reaching but concrete history of sexuality in the United States.

Each essay interrogates a provocative wor…
The S Word
This essay reflects on the campus sanctuary movement that accelerated in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 US presidential election, focusing on the promises and pitfalls for activists who pushed to have their campuses declared sanctuaries for undocumented students, staff, and faculty. It offers a personal case study that relates to the nationwide push for campus sanctuary

Rita Moreno
Sanctuary's Radical Networks
This editors' introduction examines the genealogies of sanctuary as a space-and movement-based oppositional practice, one that contests the sovereign power of the nation-state and the structural roots of multiple, intersecting oppressions. Like each contribution to this special issue, the introduction challenges readers to reconsider the meanings and possibilities of sanctuary movements across time and place. It raises contexts and themes that ar…
What Makes Queer Oral History Different
This essay asks whether queer oral history is different in light of recent interventions in queer theory, LGBTQ history, and oral history. It explores the intellectual genealogy of queer oral history in the research projects of some of its early practitioners. It also provides a close reading of Alessandro Portelli’s classic essay and considers its implications for a queer methodology, drawing from the work of recent scholarship in queer studies …
Dark Matters
Vince Gilligan's cable television series Breaking Bad has garnered critical praise for its complex and sometimes contradictory views of drug trading, criminality, and the blurry line between good and evil. In particular, critics have celebrated the originality of its main character, Walter White, whose transformation from a dowdy high school chemistry teacher into a methamphetamine "cook" and kingpin is charted over the course of the series. Howe…
María Elena Martínez
She was particularly proud of her participation in the Tepoztlán Institute for the Transnational History of the Americas, where she was a former codirector and a long-term member of the organizing collective, so we asked veterans of the institute to reflect on her life, her scholarship, and her legacy.In the exchange that follows, these scholars reflect on Martínez as a fiercely devoted radical
Sexing Empire
A common, obvious sexual metaphor for empire equates it with rape; yet empire, to some, has felt at once like rape and like seduction.Let us consult, for example, the New York Herald of October 8, 1847.At this late hour in the United States' war with Mexico, the Herald forecast that "like the Sabine virgins, she [Mexico] will soon learn to love her ravisher."As Amy Greenberg shows us, this was a vision of lusty imperial adventure, pregnant with t…

A New Factor in American Destiny: Visions of Porfirio Díaz and the Politics of “Logical Paternalism”
This essay interprets American representations of dictator Porfirio Díaz in relation to the “economic conquest” of Mexico that took place during his long rule (1876–1911, a period known as the “Porfiriato,” in which Americans invested more than $1 billion). No single person inspired as much attention from travelers, reporters, and photographers during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as Díaz, and their visions of the President he…
