Building an Occupation
This article details US officials’ mobilization of Puerto Rican labor during the occupation of the Dominican Republic (1916–1924) and the consequences for transnational working-class solidarity. It argues that the military government relied on Puerto Ricans as both imperial laborers and role models whose presumed cultural affinities with the Dominican populace would forestall resistance and contribute to efforts to reform Dominican society. Yet t…
Protection against the Lust of Men’
This article explains the disparity between the United States (US) military government's efforts to defend and empower local women during the first occupation of the Dominican Republic (1916–24) and its reputation for tolerating sexual assault. It argues that US officials, inspired by a progressive ideology that linked the social, economic and political spheres, set out to reshape Dominican sexual and gender norms as a means to ensure political s…
Unilateral Pan–Americanism
This analysis draws lessons about the failure of Wilsonian Pan–Americanism from an examination of the American occupation of Chiriquí, Panama, an event long neglected by historians.

African Identity in Post-Apartheid Public Architecture
In this valuable contribution to the scholarship of post-apartheid architecture, Noble playfully inverts the title of Frantz Fanon's seminal anti-colonial text Black Skin, White Masks (1952). With this theoretical lens, the author investigates architectural authenticity and identity in five prominent public architecture projects since 1994. These projects carry the exceptional mandate of embodying the political hopes of the new South Africa: to b…
