Examining Sex-Based Delays in Utilizing Advocacy Support Services Among Australian Military Veterans
This study explores the impact of sex on delays experienced by Australian military veterans in accessing advocacy support services within the veterans' non-profit sector. A detailed analysis of intake records from 150 injured veterans who entered the Returned and Services League of Australia's advocacy program in 2021 reveals significant disparities between male and female veterans in seeking assistance. On average, male veterans delay accessing …
Medical Brigades to El Salvador and Honduras
In this paper, I explore travel imaginaries in the recruitment of participants to short-term medical brigades in El Salvador and Honduras. I look in particular at how trip leaders and organization website frame the volunteer tourist experience, drawing on familiar, shared imaginaries of poor, backward international settings, and related performative interventions that echo white colonial relationships. Recruitment messaging offers little specific…
Imaginaries of North American lifestyle migrants in Costa Rica
The world is currently experiencing an unprecedented wave of migration. Much scholarly and popular attention has been paid to refugees and migrants crossing borders for political and economic reasons. Of increasing interest to investigators is “lifestyle migration,” the movement of individuals from economically advantaged settings in search of improved quality of life. Costa Rica has a relatively large and fluid population of “lifestyle migrants”…
Neoliberalism, Development, and the Costa Rican State
Costa Rica has been celebrated for its relatively high levels of economic development in a region marked by extreme poverty and income inequality. Recent scholarship has examined the competing and complementary interests of private capital and public institutions in pursuing an aggressive neoliberal growth strategy while preserving social programs created during the developmental period of the 1950s through the late 1970s. This article extends th…

Marginality and narratives of success
Jenni Rivera was a singer, radio and television personality, whose sudden death at the age of 43 made her the subject of intense coverage in both Spanish and English-language media. This paper explores her rise from the southern California Mexican-American working class to growing cross-national celebrity in terms of a success narrative valorising Rivera’s struggles as a poor, minority single mother and victim of male violence and infidelity. Lik…
Third World and Postcolonial Feminisms/Subaltern
Sociological interest in feminism in the so‐called third world nations of Asia, Africa, and Latin America has been conditioned by disciplinary reactions and responses to larger theoretical transformations in the academy. The consequence has been a shift from liberal feminist interpretations to more comprehensive understandings of the range of feminisms that have emerged in conditions of economic dependency, underdevelopment, and globalization. Mo…
The Making of a Colonial Welfare State
Early-twentieth-century Puerto Rican women's and labor groups advocated for public support for economically needy groups to little avail, given the fiscal limitations of the early colonial state. The exclusion of Puerto Rico from the comprehensive social welfare embodied in the Social Security Act of 1935 was rooted in U.S. Congressional resistance to statehood for selected territories. The platform of the Partido Popular Democrático (Popular Dem…

Unions’ empowerment of working‐class women
This research examines union membership's possible empowerment of unskilled women and these workers’ access to positions of power within union locals. The women worked as custodians, clerks, and cafeteria workers at a public, urban university and were members of the Communication Workers of America or the United Auto Workers unions. We found that these workers recognized the union's ability to limit the administration's power over their workforce…
Contested Workplace
This paper examines the struggle between labor and management at four, newly-opened supermarket/discount stores, culminating in a strike. It considers workplace control as an issue in the strike and its resolution. Edwards' typology of workplace control is reviewed, along with other indirect forms of control explored in recent literature. Workers complained most stridently about direct control mechanisms. Workers' objections to technical and bure…

Divided Against Itself
The paper reviews a case of local/international union conflict in the settlement of a supermarket strike and suggests that the assertion of local labor interests is central to the revival of U.S. unionism. The strike was led by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) against the Meijer supermarket chain in Toledo, Ohio in 1994. The eight and one-half week strike ended when representatives of the UFCW international accepted a contract …

Protecting Women's Jobs
This paper explores the impact of union membership on a group of unskilled women workers at a public university in a midwestern city. Although the region has experienced high levels of unemployment in recent years, women subjects have been relatively insulated from job loss. Consistent with other research findings on the consequences of unionization, interviews with 18 women indicate that their job tenure is long, tendency to exit jobs low, and w…

Exploring Social Distance in Race and Ethnic Relations Courses
I teach race and ethnic relations to 30 to 40 students at least once yearly. Nearly all class members come from working-class backgrounds; most work partor full-time in addition to taking college courses. Usually about one-fourth of the students are AfricanAmerican, and perhaps 10 percent of the class are of Latino or Asian descent. The remainder are white, many from eastern European backgrounds, and claim little if any identification with their …

Gender, Race, and Kinship
The social science study of female-headed households has generally treated their frequency in relation to variables such as poverty and ethnicity. Changing gender and kinship relations, especially in households headed by women, have less often been explored. Carol Stack's All Our Kin and Judith Stacey's Brave New Families consider women's and men's positions in African-American and white working class families respectively. Though reflecting poli…

Slave Women in the New World
In this innovative study, Marietta Morrissey reframes the debate over slavery in the New World by focusing on the experiences of slave women. Rich in detail and rigorously comparative, her work illuminates the exploitation, achievements, and resilience of slave women in the British, Dutch, French, Spanish, and Danish colonies in the Caribbean from 1600 through the mid 1800s. Morrissey examines a wide spectrum of experience among Caribbean slave w…

Female-headed households in Latin America and the Caribbean
"Twenty-five Caribbean and Latin American nations were examined to determine the relationship between potential female headed families and other social indicators. Regression analysis reveals that women's labor market participation is associated with the proportion of families potentially headed by women. The share of girls in secondary school is also associated with the dependent variable. Social indicators of modernization and dependency were r…

Towards a Theory of West Indian Economic Development
by Marietta Morrissey* The former British West Indies1 have received much attention from economists, sociologists, historians. These scholars have examined a wide range of hypotheses and propositions, but important phenomena have gone unexamined. West Indian economic development, for example, has been simply equated with Western capitalist evolution. And, more recently, scholars have ascribed West Indian underdevelopment to the influence of Weste…
