The setting of Salinas made a difference in labor relations and race relations, both in the way the strike came about and, just as importantly, in how and why it was ended. Strikers and t…
Policing Sex and Marriage in the American Military: The Court Martial and the Construction of Gender and Sexual Deviance, 1950-2000
In an exhaustive analysis of the Court-Martial Reports (and guidebooks for military spouses), Kellie Wilson-Buford shows how the military enforced “heterosexual, monogamous, and racially homogenous” relationships as “the moral linchpin” of the service, beginning with the court-martial decision in United States v.
