Knowledge, Skills, and Preparing for the Future: Best Practices to Educate International Studies Majors for Life after College
Higher education is at a point of transition. Colleges and universities are considering new ways to attract students through innovative programs that stay true to their educational mission and also prepare students for the current job market. Employers consistently talk about the skills they need in graduates they hire, including critical thinking, strong writing, adaptability, and cultural competency. International studies as a major is perfectl…
Women and Power in Zimbabwe: Promises of Feminism
Rhodesia's rebirth as Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe's rise to power dashed the hopes of women who had imagined independence as a road to gender equity and economic justice. Using history, literature, participant observation, and interviews, this book draws on thirty years of experience to survey Zimbabwean feminism from the colonial era to today. The book's analysis shows how actions as seemingly disparate as an ability to bake scones during the rev…
The United States and the Promotion of Democracy in Latin America: Then, Now and Tomorrow
Legalising norms of democracy in the Americas
Why have states legalised international norms promoting domestic democracy in some regions of the world? This issue poses a difficult puzzle because standard assumptions about state preferences for sovereignty make the creation of strong, binding international rules on democracy unlikely. We identify four possible answers: the interests of powerful states, common government interests in domestic policy lock-in, the absence of fears that powerful …
The Evolution of Regional Human Rights Mechanisms: A Focus on Africa
Considerable research has already been done on the role of the United Nations in promoting human rights; however, the work of regional organizations is just beginning to be explored in greater depth. This article compares the regional evolution of human rights instruments, focusing particularly on Africa, and examines different explanations for regional variance. The impact of domestic conditions, regional and international pressures, and cultura…
Telling stories of human connection: Comments on Stephan Palmié's “Genomics, Divination, ‘Racecraft’”
You had a daughter, but I am becoming a woman”: Sexuality, Feminism and Postcoloniality in Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions and She No Longer Weeps
In this paper, an anthropologist examines sexuality, feminist consciousness, and postcolonial politics in Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions and in her earlier play, She No Longer Weeps. In both works, sexuality offers the promise of freedom, entails a loss of security, and delivers punishment. Reading the novel in light of the play provides insight into the sexual tension in the father-daughter relationship and suggests that Nyasha's nervou…

Turning Her Back on the Moon: Virginity, Sexuality, and Mothering in the Works of Yvonne Vera
Acclaimed Zimbabwean novelist Yvonne Vera writes the history of colonialism, the liberation struggle, and postcolonial holocaust through the eyes and bodies of women, depicting how they suffered and survived in rural areas and urban townships. From a close reading of her five novels, I see the same story emerge, sometimes centrally and at other times as subtext. Vera consistently returns to a concern with the mother-daughter connection or disconn…
Limits to Hegemonic Influence in the Organization of American States
Although powerful states have the ability to dominate the international system to achieve their policy preferences, such dominance has limits in the Organization of American States. Even though the United States, its most powerful member state, has considerable influence over OAS actions, institutional factors also affect decisionmaking and produce more varied outcomes than one might anticipate. Adapting three different perspectives from organiza…

President Clinton's First Term: Matching Campaign Promises with Presidential Performance
In every Presidential campaign, candidates make policy promises on a wide variety of issues. Often a newly elected president finds it difficult to fulfill these promises even if he has good intentions to do so. This leads many voters to the assumption that presidents do not fulfill their campaign promises. Since voting theories, however, suggest that voters do listen to campaign promises, candidates must carefully consider their promises as well …
