I thank my teachers at UCSD, whose constant patience and professionalism in the face of daunting work loads still made room for the unusual inquiry and the new. I want to thank Michael Davidson, whose work is so invaluable and who has been part of this research for a decade now. I also want to thank Nicole Tonkovich for modeling the highest standards of excellence in teaching, writing, and research and whose grace under pressure will always be an example. I want to thank Shelley Streeby for always challenging my work and pushing me to new insights, often with one single word. I thank Lisa Cartwright and Lisa Lampert-Weissig for hours of patient reading and critical responses, for open ears and doors, and for their expert eye. I also want to thank my reading group colleagues, especially Satoko Kakihara, Clare Rolens, Violeta Sanchez, and Juliana Choi. I thank everyone at the Revelle Humanities Writing Program for years of training, expertise, generosity, and the good feeling that my labor is respected and my teaching taken seriously. A number of other colleagues and scholars have influenced my thinking about blood and helped me think through some of the twists and turns this topic takes. I will miss the friendship and constant curiosity of my mentor in Eichstätt, Prof. Dr. Hermann Josef Schnackertz. Alfred Bammesberger, Claudia Neudecker, Christine Strobl, Joachim Grzega, and Günther Blaicher showed what collegial scholarship can be and gave me the room to grow and the guidance not to stray. Beyond the wonderful people in my institutions I am grateful for all those ix scholars and colleagues who make this work more than just a personal obsession. Especially the Dickinson scholars family has been a constant source of support and encouragement, and so I thank Martha Nell Smith, Ben Friedlander, Eliza Richards, and Faith Barrett. I thank Joe Fruscione, Josh Lukin, Sarah Chinn, Ellen Samuels, and Martin Japtok for their kindness and steady friendship. Beyond the classroom I have been fortunate to spend many days in the enriching company and wise counsel of Sabrina Starnamann, Kate Slater, John Higgins, Kedar A. Kulkarni, Michael James Lundell, Alberto Garcia, Chien-ting Lin, Alexander Ezekiel Chang, and Ben Chapin. Finally, I want to thank all the many, many staff and non-permanent employees of the institutions for their hard work and sometimes absolutely heroic struggle to keep our departments, programs, and schools running. x Vita 2002-5 Research Assistant, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany 2005-6 Teaching Assistant, Boston College 2006-7 Research Assistant, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany 2007 Magister Artium, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany 2008-13 Teaching Assistant, Humanities Writing Program, University of California, San Diego 2011 Research Assistant, University of California, San Diego 2011 Candidate in Philosophy, University of California,

    African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies: AJCJS, Vol.8, Special Issue 1: Indigenous Perspectives and Counter Colonial Criminology November 2014 ISSN 1554-3897 Indigenous Feminists Are Too Sexy for Your Heteropatriarchal Settler Colonialism Andrea Smith University of California Abstract Within the creation myths of the United States, narratives portray Native peoples as hypersexualized and sexually desiring white men and women. Native men in captivity narratives are portrayed as wanting to rape white women and Native women such as Pocahontas are constituted as desiring the love and sexual attention of white men at the expense of her Native community. In either of these accounts of settler colonialism, Native men and women’s sexualities are read as out of control and unable to conform to white heteropatriarchy. Many Native peoples respond to these images by desexualizing our communities and conforming to heteronormativity in an attempt to avoid the violence of settler-colonialism. I interrogate these images and provide sex-positive alternatives for Native nation building as an important means of decolonizing Native America. Keywords Indigenous feminists, heteropatriarchy, settler colonialism, anti-violence. Introduction . Sexy futures for Native feminisms. Chris Finley (2012) Chris Finley signals a new direction emerging out of the Indigenous anti-violence movement in Canada and the United States. This strand of the anti-violence organizing and scholarship builds on the work of previous indigenous anti-violence advocates who have centered gender violence as central to anti-colonial struggle. However, as the issue of violence against Indigenous women gains increasing state recognition, this strand has focused on building indigenous autonomous responses to violence that are not state-centered.

  • Sexual Violence Against the Outsiders of Society in ​The Round House
    Sexual Violence Against the Outsiders of Society in The Round House, Bitter in the Mouth, and ​ ​ The Color Purple by Toni Lee December, 2020 Director of Thesis: Dr. Richard Taylor Major Department: English This thesis will examine why the outsiders to society are more susceptible to violence, particularly sexual violence. America has been led predominantly by white males, white males who have oppressed individuals who do not fit into the white male majority for years. It is my argument that when women of color are born, they are automatically labeled as outsiders due to their race and gender. An outsider is simply one who does not fit into a particular group, the group in this case being white males. While some white women experience sexual violence, their socioeconomic status and race often allows them to receive justice, especially if their perpetrator is a man of color. I will also examine other factors that lead to sexual violence, particularly rape for these outsiders, such as social class and age. This thesis analyzes three primary texts: the 2010 novel Bitter in the Mouth by Monique Truong, the 2012 novel The Round ​ ​ ​ House by Louise Erdrich, and the 1982 novel The Color Purple by Alice Walker. The women in ​ ​ ​ these novels, Linda, Geraldine, and Celie, respectively are sexually assaulted. It is my argument that women of color’s race/ethnicity make them more susceptible to violence, both physical and sexual, from others. These texts showcase how women are labelled as outsiders because of their races and their gender, creating a dual outsider status in the white male dominated America; thus, making them more vulnerable to sexual assault and less likely to receive justice.

  • How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Comic Books Critically: How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Fang-Tzu Hsu 2015 © Copyright by Fang-Tzu Hsu 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading Comic Books Critically: How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students by Fang-Tzu Hsu Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Carlos A. Torres, Chair Education knows no boundaries but hot button topics, like comic books, demonstrate school, teacher and parent limitations. Japanese comic books (manga) are a litmus test of pedagogical tolerance. Because they play an important role in the lives of most Taiwanese teenagers, I give them pride of place in this dissertation. To understand Japanese comic books and their influence, I use Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy to combine perspectives from cultural studies, comparative education, and educational sociology. With the cooperation of the administration, faculty and students of a Taiwanese junior high school, I used surveys, a textual analysis of five student-selected titles and interviews with students and educators. I discovered that Japanese manga contain complex and sometimes contradictory ideologies of ethnicity, gender, class, and violence. From an ethnic perspective, although students may glean cultural content from manga heroes and their retinues, people of color and non-Japanese Asians are either caricatures or non-existent; although Taiwanese teenager readers seem unaware of this. From a gender standpoint, neither the female characters’ provocative representation nor the male characters’ slavering responses to it raise students’ and teachers’ concerns.

  • Who's in and Who's Out: Congressional Power Over
    COPYRIGHT © 2016, VIRGINIA LAW REVIEW ASSOCIATION NOTE WHO’S IN AND WHO’S OUT: CONGRESSIONAL POWER OVER INDIVIDUALS UNDER THE INDIAN COMMERCE CLAUSE Monica Haymond* INTRODUCTION NDIAN law sits in uneasy coexistence with modern race law. Prefer- Iential treatment for Native Americans,1 like the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) policy to hire tribal members for federal jobs, is far re- moved from Chief Justice Roberts’s pithy truism—“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”2 But the U.S. Supreme Court has twice exempted Indian law from the strict scrutiny given to race-based statutes, once in the early nineteenth century when the Supreme Court interpreted the Indian Commerce Clause3 to give Congress “plenary power” over Indian af- fairs, and again in the 1970s when it interpreted “Indians” to be a political—not racial—classification.4 But at the end of an Indian adoption case in 2013, Justice Thomas questioned if this exception has gone too far. “[N]either the text nor the original understanding of the [Indian Commerce] Clause supports Con- * J.D. 2016, University of Virginia School of Law; B.A. 2010, University of California, Davis.

  • The Erosion of the Racial Frontier: Settler Colonialism and the History
    THE EROSION OF THE RACIAL FRONTIER: SETTLER COLONIALISM AND THE HISTORY OF BLACK MONTANA, 1880-1930 by Anthony William Wood A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY Bozeman, Montana April 2018 ©COPYRIGHT by Anthony William Wood 2018 All Rights Reserved ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the history faculty at Carroll College and Dr. Swarthout who pushed history majors such as myself to work as interns with the Montana State Historic Preservation Office in Helena, Montana. It was at SHPO that I was so fortunate to work for Kate Hampton, who had already worked tirelessly keeping the Montana’s African American Heritage Places Project alive for over a decade, and who continued to lead and guide me while I researched and wrote for the project for three years. Classes I took at MSU, especially Dr. Mark Fiege’s seminar on the American West, offered strikingly new approaches that opened up different methods as well as mountains of scholarship that would profoundly inform how I thought about race and the American West. I am further indebted to my wonderful committee members, Drs. Mary Murphey, Amanda Hendrix- Komoto, Billy Smith, and my chair, Mark Fiege for all their time spent talking with me about sections of my thesis, different approaches I might try, or even just listening as I tried to organize my ideas. I am also thankful and sorry to my office-mates Amanda Hardin and Jen Dunn who were unlucky enough to work within ear-shot.

A Canadian citizen and a member of the Campbell River Band of Canadian Indians,1 Roberts regularly crossed the United States-Canada border to visit his property in Point Roberts, Wash- ington.2 He had a “green card,” and had been crossing the border since he was a young boy with his family to visit relatives on the Lummi Indian Reservation.3 In 2007, however, immigration officials confiscated his green card and required him to appear in an immigration court.4 The issue was whether he had enough Indian “blood” to cross the border as a Cana- dian Indian entitled to free passage into the United States.5 Roberts has fair skin and curly hair inherited from his Ukrainian mother, but the facial fea- tures of his Indian father.6 Roberts asserted that his physical appearance caused immigration officials to question his right to free passage.7 Both American and Canadian press reports emphasized the curious racial aspect ∗Assistant Attorney General, Navajo Nation Department of Justice, Window Rock, Arizona.

  • The Sociological Imagination: Western's Undergraduate Sociology and Criminology Student Journal 6(1)
    Piroshkova: Racecraft and Racialization as Tools of Control The Sociological Imagination: Western's Undergraduate Sociology and Criminology Student Journal 6(1) Racecraft and Racialization as Tools of Control Moria Piroshkova Western University, Canada Abstract This paper seeks to make clear that it is beneficial to examine racism (as an institution of oppression) in terms of racecraft and racialization, as these concepts demonstrate how economic, social, and political power is distributed on the basis of socially constructed categories of race. These categories are created and maintained through institutional practices and discourses that treat racial categories and hierarchies as 'real' for the purpose of maintaining white supremacy (rather than arbitrarily established) (racecraft). Understanding racialization and racecraft helps us to dismantle the ideology of race and is therefore foundational to effective anti-racist practice, which must be centered around racism rather than race to dismantle the notion (upon which white supremacy rests) that race is real (Fassin). This dismantling power of understanding racism through racecraft and racialization will be demonstrated through an analysis of government policies, racial passing, scientific racism, and racial capital. This paper seeks to make race to dismantle the notion (upon clear that it is beneficial to examine which white supremacy rests) that racism (as an institution of race is real (Fassin).

But most critical acclaim is heaped on the period before New York@Night 1964. Ascension, recorded in 1965, is considered by many the end of Coltrane as a 4 legitimate jazz musician, as he moved away from his roots into the burgeoning Interview: Fred Ho avant garde and free jazz scenes. But another group see Coltrane’s shift in this direction helping to propel these new forms, not least because of his championing 6 by Ken Waxman of such musicians as Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, John Tchicai and Marion Artist Feature: Enrico Pieranunzi Brown, now all legends in their own rights. This month two tributes (at Le Poisson Rouge and Jazz Standard) will recreate Coltrane’s controversial work with allstar by Laurel Gross 7 casts of musicians from across the modern spectrum, a living testament to the On The Cover: John Coltrane’s Ascension music’s continuing impact.
