Textual Identities in Early Medieval England
Textual Identities in Early Medieval England celebrates the scholarship and career of Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe. O'Brien O'Keeffe likely needs no introduction to JEGP's readership: her scholarship and mentoring are, at least for this reviewer, part of the lore one absorbs simply by being around other scholars of early medieval England. Textual Identities consists of eleven essays grouped into three sections, each organized around a specific them…
Entre crainte et diplomatie. Le paradoxe du détournement de la crue du Nil dans la diplomatie entre l’Égypte et l’Éthiopie (xive‐xve siècles)
À partir de la fin du xiie siècle, une légende circulant en Égypte attribue aux rois d’Éthiopie le pouvoir de bloquer la crue du Nil. Entre le début du xive et la fin du xve siècle, cette croyance est mentionnée dans de nombreuses sources arabes à propos des échanges diplomatiques entre l’Éthiopie et l’Égypte, laissant certains historiens penser qu’elle fut une menace régulièrement brandie par les rois chrétiens pour affirmer leur puissance face …
Open Letters from Prison
This article describes the response of a group of California women prisoners and their allies on the outside to the conditions that radically altered and devastated the lives of people in prison during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Benjamin Weber, African American and African Studies faculty member at the University of California, Davis, reached out to the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP), with its over twenty-six years of relatio…
Housing Correlates in Pregnant and Parenting Women Using Methamphetamine and Accessing Psychiatric Care
Unstably housed women and single women seem particularly at risk of remaining in precarious living conditions despite accessing integrated care for problems associated with methamphetamine use. Future work should investigate whether stronger partnerships with government and community agencies could be a way forward to help these women attain and maintain stable housing

Anticarceral Internationalism
From Garveyism to the Black Panthers, from campaigns to free political prisoners to the current fight to #FreeThemAll, imprisoned Black activists and their allies have deployed expanded conceptions of human rights. These anticarceral organizers have internationalized the struggle against state violence by condemning genocidal police and prison practices at the United Nations, building global solidarities, and appealing to the world. In redefining…
On (In)security
This paper presents a QA conversation held at the Performance Philosophy Biennial in Amsterdam, 2019. Three presentations responded to the conference call of ‘intervening in the habit of academia as a place for mature or adult voices,’ by exploring ways of making space for children’s voices. Connected by a focus on intergeneration dialogues, children’s disruption and the possibilities of empowerment, both within education and within familial stru…
Effectiveness of the First German-Language Group Psychotherapy Manual to Accompany Short-Term Treatment in Methamphetamine Dependence
Background: Methamphetamine abuse is expanding in Europe, leading to a shortfall in medical care for related disorders in many regions. Research focusing on the effectiveness and feasibility of methamphetamine-specific treatment programs is scarce, especially in short-term settings. Methods: To this end, we treated 31 patients with methamphetamine dependence using a new group psychotherapy manual added to standard psychiatric care. Trained resear…

The Strange Career of the Convict Clause
This article follows the “convict clause” in the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution – the exception for slavery and involuntary servitude to continue as punishment for crime – to the Panamá Canal Zone. It argues that US officials used the prison system not only to extract labor, but to structure racial hierarchy and justify expansionist claims to jurisdiction and sovereignty. It reveals how despite the purported “usefulness” of the Black…
A brief history of Anglo‐Saxon education
While the Anglo‐Saxon period is not always considered the most dynamic milieu for medieval education, recent work in the field belies that impression. Since the 1980s, Anglo‐Latinists have edited, translated, and analyzed glosses, treatises, letters, and prefaces that enrich our understanding of Anglo‐Saxon education. The turn in the 1990s towards the study of literacy, and subsequent interest in bilingualism, have situated Old English literary t…
Sworn swords
This article argues that the Beowulf -poet’s use of the word aðsweord , usually glossed as ‘sworn oath’ in Beowulf 2064 is a play on the words for oaths ( að ) and swords ( sweord ) intended to evoke the difficulty inherent in social mechanisms designed to end cycles of reciprocal violence. By tracing the idea of a ‘sword-oath’ as a means to secure peace through a number of Latin and Norse analogs, this article elucidates an important feature of …
Fearing the Flood
Examining intra-colonial punitive relocations during the first decade of US occupation in the Philippines, this article shows how colonial police and prison officials used incarceration and transportation in tandem to suppress incipient populist revolutionary movements. They exploited historic regional and religious tensions in their effort to produce new modes of racialized and gendered prison and labor management. Finally, while colonial offici…

An Incomplete Integration into the Orbis Christianus
Contacts between Ethiopia and the papacy may have developed since the twelfth century and are securely documented from the first half of the fourteenth century. Information and mutual knowledge, very vague at the beginning, slowly increased through merchants, missionaries, and official embassies; both sides learned from each other. But numerous misunderstandings remained and fabulous tales about Ethiopia were diffused in papal documents until the…

True and false Ethiopians in the West in the 15th century : uses and abuses of connections ; The distance between Ethiopia and the West and the lack of knowledge between these two worlds often caused doubts, confusions and impostures upon the status or geographical origin of Ethiopian travellers in Europe.
