PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS P RAYI NG TO T H E D I SC I PL I NAR Y G ODS W I T H O NE E Y E O PEN This volume is the culmination of more than a decade of shared inquiry involving dozens of scholars investigating the origins, evolution, and conse- quences of racial colorblindness as a metaphor for social relations across the academic disciplines. Its genealogy, however, reaches beyond the academy both to the Civil Rights Movement, which briefly shook the foundations of American social life, and to the demobilizing campaigns within the legal and political arena to restabilize the American social order in its aftermath. Anchoring the slowed pace of race reform in the 1980s, and the dismantling of the civil rights infrastructure throughout the 1990s, colorblind rhetoric crossed over into popular culture to provide ideological cover for ballot ini- tiatives and other efforts to neutralize affirmative action and other antisub- ordination measures. Despite its solidly conservative deployment in the post–civil rights era, colorblindness received an unexpected rebranding in 2008 as the ideological standard-bearer for the country’s postracial future. This was a remarkable ride for a concept that defied definition, measurement, or theorization. Indeed, the work that colorblindness does across so many sectors and issues is stunning given the utter lack of consensus as to what it really is. Unanswered

Scripture tells us that praying for our Gleaders is one of the best ways we can do this. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2 NKJV). It is better to pray for governmental leaders — local, state, and national — than to criticize them. This doesn’t mean we always agree with their every action or condone legislative decisions contrary to biblical principles.

Mary Fogarty Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © November 2006 For my sister, Pauline 111 Acknowledgements The Canada Graduate Scholarship (SSHRC) enabled me to focus full-time on my studies. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.

Suspect Until Proven Guilty, a Problematization of State Dossier Systems via Two Case Studies: The United States and China Abstract This dissertation problematizes the "state dossier system" (SDS): the production and accumulation of personal information on citizen subjects exceeding the reasonable bounds of risk management. SDS - comprising interconnecting subsystems of records and identification - damage individual autonomy and self-determination, impacting not only human rights, but also the viability of the social system. The research, a hybrid of case-study and cross-national comparison, was guided in part by a theoretical model of four primary SDS driving forces: technology, political economy, law and public sentiment. Data sources included government documents, academic texts, investigative journalism, NGO reports and industry white papers. The primary analytical instrument was the juxtaposition of two individual cases: the U.S.

  • Requiring Videotaped Interrogations Has Broad Support from Law
    Requiring Videotaped Interrogations Has Broad Support From law enforcement: • "We don't object to any recordation of interviews or interrogations which would result in a clearer picture of what the defendant or the witness told the police officer. After all, it is our firm belief that in an extraordinarily overwhelming number of cases, the information being reported out of those cases is accurate and correct, and we believe that a recording would help us to prove that." - Jim Pasco, Executive Director, Fraternal Order of Police (NPR Tavis Smiley Show, Jan. 17, 2003.) • "Police and prosecutors have little to fear from a requirement to videotape all interrogations. Recording not only protects the innocent, it helps convict the guilty and sustain the public's faith in our criminal justice system." - Amy Klobuchar, Hennepin County, MN, County Attorney (Klobuchar, "Eye on Interrogations: How Videotaping Serves the Cause of Justice," Washington Post op-ed, June 10, 2002.) • "' [The tapes] usually corroborate and bolster the police version [ of an interrogation and confession.]" - Kankakee County, IL, State Attorney Edward Smith (Eric Zorn, "A Surprise Vote for Videotaping Interrogations," Chicago Tribune, Apr. 19, 2001.) • "[I]f it's done right, there is no more powerful evidence then a videotaped confession there for the defense and the public to see." -Capt.

    Speaker 1: Major funding for Backstory is provided by an anonymous donor, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation. Speaker 2: From Virginia Humanities this is Backstory. Brian Balogh: Welcome the Backstory. I'm Brian Balogh. If you're new to the podcast we're all historians and each week, along with my colleagues, Joanne Freeman, Ed Ayers, and Nathan Connolly, we explore a different aspect of American history. Brian Balogh: Today on the show we're bringing you a compilation of past segments in celebration of March as women's history month. With over a hundred women serving in Congress and already a record number of women announcing their 2020 presidential candidacy this year marks the strongest female presence in American political history. But for most of American history, of course, the US government was almost exclusively male. That is until Margaret Chase Smith, a Republican senator from Maine, ran for President in 1964 and made it all the way to the party's convention. A few years back the podcast radio diaries ran this piece about her campaign, the farthest any woman had gotten in major party politics up to that point. Margaret C.S.: There are those who make the contention that no woman should ever dare to aspire to the White House, that this is a man's world and that it should be kept that way. Janann Sherman: My name is Janann Sherman, and I wrote the book No Place for a Woman, A Life of Senator Margaret Chase Smith.
