Publishing decisions are made within 90 days based on recommendations by these reviewers and those of the Editorial Board. We work with authors, and respond with comments on submissions. To submit an article, you may use our online submission form (at www.socialjusticejournal.org) or send your documents to [email protected]. Please read the information below before you submit your materials. Copies Needed and Submission Requirements: Please send us: (1) A copy of your article (see format guidelines below). To facilitate the review process, the title page should not include the author’s name or institutional affiliation. (2) A document containing: cover letter, an abstract of 100 words, up to eight keywords, and a brief biographical sketch with affiliations, complete postal and e-mail addresses, and phone number. The cover letter should confirm that all authors have agreed to the submission and that the article is not currently being considered for publication by any other journal. Format Guidelines: Articles should not exceed 8,000 words; commentaries and issue pieces should be 4,000 words, and book reviews 1,000 to 2,000 words. Tables and charts take up more space, so reduce your word count for the actual text accordingly. Send black-and-white camera-ready artwork for charts and photographs. All text, including quotations and bibliographic references, should be double spaced. Lengthy quotations (exceeding 40 words) should be indented in the text. Use endnotes only for substantive comments only, not for citation. Place them in a “NOTES” section at the end of the document. All references to books, monographs, articles, and statistical sources should be specified in the main text (and in the text of endnotes) by last name of author, year of publication, and pagination where appropriate—e.g., (Johnson 1973, 15–16) or (Dobash and Dobash 1991, 1992). The complete citation should be listed at the conclusion of the article under “REFERENCES.” Such citation should be alphabetical by name of author; for authors cited more than once, by years of publication, with most recent references first. Use the letters a, b, c, etc., to distinguish citations of different works by the same author in the same year—e.g., (Foucault 1975a, 1975b). Italicize the titles of books and periodicals, and place article titles within quotation marks. For the format of bibliographic references, please refer to the submission guidelines on our website. Usage Guidelines: We prefer to use the term “the United States,” not “America,” when referring to the United States of America. For all other usage guidelines, please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style (15th or 16th edition); our dictionary of reference is the Merriam-Webster. Militarism and Its Discontents 1 Militarism and Its Discontents: Neoliberalism, Repression, and Resistance in Twenty-First-Century US–Latin American Relations Ginger Williams & Jennifer Disney* HE UNITED STATES HAS LONG FLEXED ITS MUSCLES IN LATIN AMERICAN AFFAIRS and exerted its power over the Western Hemisphere. The end of the Cold War failed to ease tensions in US–Latin American relations. The expansion Tof state-sanctioned terrorism in the Americas until the arrest of Augusto Pinochet in 1998 rested on the privileges of impunity for Latin American security forces and their brethren in the United States. Impunity reinforced US hegemony by enabling Latin American militaries (and those who trained them) to get away with torture, murder, and the disappearance of thousands of people during the many dirty wars that ensued during the last half of the twentieth century. According to Leslie Gill (2004, 237), “the impunity-backed state terror that fractured countries such as Gua- temala, El Salvador, Chile, and Argentina while they were ruled by harsh regimes set the stage for the consolidation of neoliberal economic models under civilian governments.” John Bellamy Foster (2007, 2–3) further articulates the connection between militarism and neoliberalism in Latin America, and identifies the role the United States played in the process: “It was in the US-sponsored dictatorships of the Southern Cone of South America (Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay) that neoliberalism, i.e., the promotion of a new naked capitalism in response to world economic slowdown—requiring the elimination of all state protections for the population and all limits on the movement of capital—was first imposed.” The return to “democracy” in the 1980s and 1990s did not alleviate the fears, as repressive entities largely remained intact (in Chile, for example). The arrest of Augusto Pinochet tilted the balance as former repressive leaders started to face * GINGER WILLIAMS is an Associate Professor of History and Director of the Peace, Justice, and Conflict Resolution Studies Program, which she founded in 2006, at Winthrop University.

El país todavía no ha logrado realizar el duelo por un pasado tan doloroso, y las memorias antagónicas y contrapuestas siguen vigentes. Ello se manifiesta, por ejemplo, en los conflictos generados en torno a la conmemoración del 11 de septiembre, en los polémicos debates por los memoriales erigidos en honor de personajes políticos de izquierda y de derecha, así como en las contradictorias mi- radas respecto a uno de los personajes más emblemáticos de la represión dictatorial, Miguel Krassnoff, tal como aparece en dos libros de reciente publicación. Palabras clave: Chile, memorias antagónicas, fechas, memoriales, personajes. Abstract In Chile, in spite of the last eighteen years of democracy, there are still shadows of the dictatorial past. Duel of the painful past hasn’t been yet accomplished, and contradic- tory and antagonistic memories are still playing a crucial role in society and politics.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CITY of GRACE: POWER
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CITY OF GRACE: POWER, PERFORMANCE, AND BODIES IN COLONIAL SOUTH CAROLINA Matthew Thomas Shifflett, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Heather S. Nathans School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies Colonial Charles Town, South Carolina, was widely reputed to be one of the most refined and genteel cities in the early British Empire. As its planters and merchants grew rich from the overseas rice trade, they sought to embody their new elite status by learning the courtly styles of European social dancing, using dances such as the minuet to cultivate a sense of physical “grace.” This sense of grace allowed them to construct cosmopolitan identities and differentiate a social order that consolidated their power over the colony. Meanwhile, other social factions, such as the colony’s large slave majority and the emerging class of middling tradesmen, sought their own share in controlling the vocabulary through which bodies might mean. “City of Grace: Power, Performance, and Bodies in Colonial South Carolina” puts colonial Charles Town’s “bodies” into conversation in order to highlight how bodily behaviors such as dancing, posture, and comportment could organize power relations in an eighteenth-century British colony. This dissertation considers in turn the part that four groups played in the conflict over the values assigned to Charles Town’s bodies: the wealthy elites who sought to use “grace” as a means to proclaim and ensure their status, the dancing masters who sought to capitalize on the elites’ need for training, the African slaves whose syncretized performances of their own ethnically-specific dances troubled elite ideals of a graceful “white” body, and the emerging cohort of middling tradespeople and evangelical believers who critiqued the pretensions of elite manners.
