The War on Fatigue: Women, Work, and Energy in the 1980s
The Silver Women: How Black Women's Labor Made the Panama Canal
Introduction: Sites of reckoning special issue
This introduction explores the theories and themes presented in the articles of this special issue. It considers embodiment, temporality, and coherence as they relate to healing and survival at memory sites dedicated to reckoning with difficult or contentious pasts. This special issue deliberately decenters traditional approaches in memory studies by carving out spaces for the Global South and by considering activist–scholar or activist–artist–sc…
Near and far: Tracing memory and reframing presence in pandemic-era Argentina
Memory has been a central foundation of democracy and civil society in Argentina since the first years of the military dictatorship (1976-1983) when groups occupied public spaces to protest systematic disappearances and state repression that left 30,000 victims. It has taken decades to achieve some form of justice for state terror and repression, much of that shaped by the culture of memory and accountability that hinged on embodied forms of publ…

Perpetual Motion:Energy and American Studies Michael Ziser (bio), Natasha Zaretsky (bio), and Julie Sze (bio) From early 2016, when construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline began, through February 2017, when the last protectors were forcibly removed by law enforcement officials, the eyes of Americans (and the world) were riveted on a spectacle of energy politics that played directly into established cultural narratives about extraction and its …

Radiation Nation: Three Mile Island and the Political Transformation of the 1970s
Nuclear Freeze in a Cold War: The Reagan Administration, Cultural Activism, and the End of the Arms Race
For good or ill, the 1980s are back. On the hit show The Americans (2013–), two Soviet spies steal U.S. state secrets, President Donald J. Trump conjures nuclear images when he warns of fire and fury over the Asian peninsula, and allegations of Russian collusion in the 2016 election have sparked a third Cold War. In this breezy, accessible book, William M. Knoblauch takes us back to the early 1980s, when fears of nuclear war that had lain dormant…
Womb fantasies: Subjective architecture in postmodern literature, cinema, and art
In the years after World War II, the physical space of the womb became suffused with meaning. In this evocative study, Caroline Rupprecht explores how the postwar avant-garde elaborated what she ca

Radiation Suffering and Patriotic Body Politics in the 1970s and 1980s
The human body was at the center of multiple protest movements after 1968. This essay considers one particular type of body that entered political space in the 1970s and 1980s: the cancer-afflicted bodies of those who had been exposed to radiation from the manufacture, testing, and detonation of atomic weapons in the late 1940s and 1950s. Beginning in the late 1970s, radiation sufferers and their relatives became politically mobilized: they creat…

Until the last man comes home: POWs, MIAs, and the unending Vietnam War
The Panama Canal Fight and New Right Politics in the 1970s
Over the last decade, political and social historians of the United States have turned their attention to the conservative ascendancy of the 1960s and 1970s. Lisa McGirr and Donald Critchlow, for example, have shed light on the tenacious, painstaking grassroots work that allowed modern conservatism to displace modern liberalism as the dominant political ideology of the age. With Drawing the Line at the Big Ditch, journalist Adam Clymer contribute…
