Affect and Diaspora: Unfashionable Hope in Melvin B. Tolson's Libretto for the Republic of Liberia
This essay reads Melvin B. Tolson’s Libretto for the Republic of Liberia as a poem undergirded by a transnational and multi-ethnic politics of identification. Previous scholars of Tolson’s work have argued that his poetry expands and redefines the possibilities inherent in modernist poetics. Building on these claims, I point to a specific and heretofore unremarked strategy through which he accomplishes this goal: namely, a bold affective optimism…
Indian Boarding Schools and the Therapeutic Residential Model

No Treatment Day School
At the No Treatment Day School, less than 15% of students used the dormitory during the school week. Located in the heart of a reservation and serving local students, the K-12 school enrolled over 1,000 students. The site received Therapeutic Residential Model funding for the 2001-2002 school year. Initial evaluation of this site found an array of daunting problems throughout the school structure and functioning. There were some successes, includ…

First funded by the T…
Academic Enhancement Site

After having documented significant improvement on a number of outcomes during a previous High Risk Youth Prevention demonstration grant, the site submitted a Therapeutic Residential Model proposal, requesting funding to continue successful elements developed under the demonstration grant and to expand ment…
Best Practices: A Cross-Site Evalutaion
For well over a century, there have been boarding schools for American Indian children. During the last decades, the long history of these boarding schools has increasingly come under the review of historians and social scientists. The reviews making the biggest splash focused on those boarding schools having misguided policies or run by incompetent administrators. But often overlooked in these post-hoc assessments of boarding schools is the comp…
