Medical Doctors, Depopulation and the Plantation Economy of German New Guinea
This article examines how the colonial state of German New Guinea sought to manage Indigenous people’s reproductive labour in the decade prior to World War I amidst growing colonial anxieties about depopulation and fertility decline. As a plantation colony whose economy depended overwhelmingly on the availability of Indigenous, indentured labourers, concerns about health and medicine were thoroughly entangled with concerns about labour and the pl…
Exploring the Intersections of Storytelling and Visual Arts
Known gaps in health and social care, largely stemming from colonization, result in poorer outcomes for Indigenous peoples with cancer as compared to non-Indigenous peoples. Also, few researchers have focused on the strengths of Indigenous peoples in dealing with such challenges. Of note is a lack of research exploring Indigenous knowledge in this context and the ways in which such knowledge may be conveyed through stories and visual arts. With a…
Beyond the Hall of Mirrors
Steady engagement, over the last decade or so, with the classical pragmatists has led Philip Kitcher to develop a position he calls "ethical pragmatic naturalism." Ethical pragmatic naturalism has three legs: an analytic history, a metaethical stance, and a normative position. The first two of these extend and expand pragmatist, especially Deweyan, insights in novel and illuminating, if not entirely unproblematic, ways. In particular, we are offe…
The Recurring Native Response to Global Labor Migration
For the past few decades, and increasingly in the past few years, U.S. state governments have supplemented federal immigration law with state laws overtly designed to combat the perceived ills stemming from undocumented immigration to the United States. Proponents of these laws justify them on the basis of a normative negativity associated with "illegal" immigration, and negative economic consequences for natives. They further disclaim any discri…
Dragons
This article examines Haile Gerima's film work from his earliest cinema (Hour Glass, Child of Resistance, and Bush Mama) to his latest cinema (Teza) with the political and intellectual work of George L. Jackson distinctly in mind. It analyzes these Pan-African screen texts with other seminal texts such as Soledad Brother and Blood in My Eye and thus locates "Comrade" George L. Jackson, "the Dragon," in the theater of African cinema of liberation.…

Children’s participation in reviews and planning meetings when they are ‘looked after’ in middle childhood
This paper is based on a study of participation by children aged 8–12 in decisions when they are ‘looked after’ by local authorities. The research established that more children in this age group are attending reviews and planning meetings, but that the likelihood of their attendance varies with age and other factors. The paper explores reasons why some children are more likely to attend meetings than others, and uses material from interviews wit…

Note on the Divyāvadāna
The corruptions in the text of the Divyāvadāna are well known. As we now have it, it depends upon a number of modern copies of a single manuscript inaccessible in Nepal. Nor would access to this original be likely to solve all the difficulties. The editors declared that without continual reference to the Tibetan versions it would be impossible to give a satisfactory English translation. A series of highly important emendations was given by J. S. …
Tathāgata and Tahāgaya
The term tathāgata has been the subject of much discussion, butthe latest treatment leaves even the etymology undecided. The conclusion reached by the Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionaryis " derivation uncertain ". The question of the meaning is also left almost as vague, for what is there said is that Mrs. Rhys Davids, quoting Lord Chalmers, suggests " he who has won through to the truth

Gandhayukti in the Lalitavistara
Since the investigations of Oldenberg on the language of the Lalitavistara, it is no longer a useful question to ask whether the prose portions or the verses are the older. There is more than one layer of verse as well as of prose. Still less is it sufficient to describe it as " a poem of unknown date and authorship, but probably composed in Nepāl, by some Buddhist poet who lived some time between six hundred and a thousand years after the birth …
