Surveillance and Regulation: Control of Women Casino Workers' Bodies
This article explores how one global work site—the casino—uses and abuses women workers' bodies. Women's “body stories” illuminate the endless ways in which corporate giants—in this case, the managers and owners of multinational casinos—control, regulate, and discipline women workers' bodies through the relentless application of biopower. These stories also demonstrate that in spite of oppressive working conditions, the women engage in creative a…

The paper looks at the complexities of r…
Curiously Uninvolved: Social Work and Protest against the War in Vietnam
This article reviews four leading social work journals from 1965-1975 for content on the War in Vietnam and the social issues arising from it. It finds that social work's major journals carried nearly no articles, letters, editorials, or short subjects related to the war and concludes that the dominant discourse constructed in the journals excluded meaningful engagement with the war or protest against it

Based on a qualitative study in which data were collected from key informants, focus groups of community leaders and professionals, and in-depth interviews with women casino wo…
That Biting, Stinging Thing Which Ever Shadows Us: African-American Social Workers in France during World War I
During World War I, 85 African-American social service workers were sent to France as program directors for the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). They took up their work in the context of soaring race consciousness as they and the African-American soldiers they served encountered "free France" on the one hand and the American command's determination to recreate Jim Crow on French soil on the other. The African-American YMCA "secretaries,"…

On January 1, 1913, the Colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian Association gathered in Washington, D.C., at the Twelfth Street "Y".
