Becoming “Welfare Island”
From the era of enslavement to contemporary structures of debt, governing entities and capital have denied state support to Puerto Ricans, demanding instead that payments flow from the archipelago first to Spain and then to the United States. While the US welfare state is notoriously stingy, even its limited benefits have never gone to Puerto Ricans on an equal basis to residents of the states. How, then, have Puerto Ricans been perennially accus…

Twentieth Century Black and Native Activism Against the Child Taking System: Lessons for the Present
This Article argues that the historical record supports activism that takes the abolition of the child welfare system as its starting point, rather than its reform. It explores the birth of the modern child welfare system in the 1950s as part of the white supremacist effort to punish Black communities that sought desegregation of schools and other public accommodations; and Native communities that fought tribal termination and the taking of indig…

Making Race, Making Sex: Perspectives on Torture
This article is interested in how biomedicine, psychology, and anthropology have produced the rape-able, violable Arab body that need not be the subject of law, national or international.

In the 1980s and beyond, feminist science studies has shown how science makes sex, gender and race, at the …

Adoption history is an interesting field. It has a lot of audiences, only some of them scholarly, who care passionately about it. Adoptees, social workers, adopters, and potential adopters all turn up for academic lectures on the history of adoption. While it is exciting to feel historical scholarship so tangibly useful, it also makes the work a little fraught. These audiences will argue vigorously with you if they do not like the implications of…
Rethinking the digital divide
In our search for transgressive models of distance education, we found inspiration in the "Web-back" performance pieces of Guillermo Gomez-Penia (1997), the production of virtual favelas in Brazil, and rural education models from the Philippines and Malaysia. As we thought in particular about our desire to reach Native American reservations and Mexican-American border towns in the US Southwest, we asked how these various Third World projects prof…
