Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Ginetta Sagan papers, [Box no., Folder no. or title], Hoover Institution Library & Archives. Biographical Note American human rights advocate; West Coast coordinator, Amnesty International; vice president, Humanitas; executive director, Aurora Foundation. Ginetta Sagan was born Teresa Moroni in San Colombano al Lambro, Italy on June 1, 1923. In September 1943, she joined the Italian anti-fascist group Giustizia e Libertà, delivering copies of underground newspapers and gathering intelligence on the location and status of partisan prisoners. After the war, during which she sustained injuries, she recuperated at the Casa di Cura Vallesana in Sondalo, Italy. In 1949, she moved to Paris, France, where she lived at the residence of Joshua G. B. Campbell, a banker and former American Field Service ambulance driver, referred to in her papers as "Papi." She studied psychology at the Sorbonne and met the professor Georges Verdeaux, a specialist in electroencephalography (EEG), who referred her to study psychology at the University of Illinois-Chicago. In September 1951, she moved to Illinois and met Leonard Sagan, a Stanford graduate studying medicine at the University of Chicago. The two married on March 14, 1952 and had three sons. In 1961, the Sagan family moved to Nagasaki, Japan, where Leonard worked as the medical department chief of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. During this time, Ginetta volunteered at an orphanage and organized events for local children. The family returned to the United States in 1964 and, after a year in Boston where Leonard studied at Harvard, the family settled in Washington, D.C. Ginetta continued her volunteer work and joined Amnesty International in 1967. Leonard Sagan accepted a position at the Palo Alto Medical Clinic and the family moved to Atherton, California in 1968. Shortly after, Ginetta founded the first Amnesty International chapter on the west coast. Formally recognized as Group 19 by Amnesty in 1971, Sagan's group provided the basis for Amnesty's Western Regional Office. Within the following year, Sagan established Amnesty's Urgent Action direct mailing campaign, the First Appeal Pledge Program, and organized a benefit concert for Greek prisoners of conscience with Joan Baez and Melina Mercouri. Baez, who became a lifelong friend of Sagan, described their working relationship in her 1987 memoir And a Voice to Sing With. After her successes on the west coast, Sagan was appointed to the national board of directors of Amnesty International USA. She served twice: from 1973 to 1976 and again from 1983 to 1987. In her first term, she co-organized the first conference for Amnesty's Campaign for the Abolition of Torture, assisted prisoners of conscience in Chile and Argentina, and co-founded AIUSA's newsletter Matchbox. In her second term, she chaired the 25th anniversary committee and organized concerts and other fundraisers. In 1979, Joan Baez appointed Sagan to the board of directors of Humanitas, a human-rights organization dedicated to assisting Vietnamese refugees and other individuals outside Amnesty's mandate. Under the auspices of Humanitas, Sagan travelled to Paris to interview former prisoners of Vietnamese reeducation camps, including Doan Van Toai, author of Le Inventory of the Ginetta Sagan 83017 2 papers Goulag vietnamien. The oral histories and documentation she collected provided the basis for her 1983 report, Violations of Human Rights in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, April 30, 1975 - April 30, 1983. Sagan published a revised edition in 1989. In April 1981, Sagan established the Aurora Foundation to research human rights violations and assist victims in Poland and Vietnam. Sagan made two trips to Poland in 1985 and 1987 to meet Solidarity members Lech Wałęsa, Henryk Jankowski, and Zbigniew Romaszewski. Working closely with Barbara Piasecka Johnson, Sagan provided financial assistance to Solidarity members and their families. In 1987, Sagan honored Romaszewski with an Aurora Foundation award for human rights. Held at Stanford's Memorial Church, the ceremony featured Czesław Miłosz accepting the award on Romaszewski's behalf. From 1986 to 1990, Sagan was a research scholar at Stanford's Institute for the Study of Women and Gender, where she researched the role of women in the Italian resistance and drafted a memoir of her World War II years. Although neither work was ever completed, Sagan later self-published a book of recipes and essays in 1994, Ginetta Sagan: A Culinary Biography (Box 254). Until her death in 2000, Sagan served as executive director of the Aurora Foundation and activist for Amnesty International. Named honorary chair of Amnesty International USA in 1994, Sagan established Amnesty's Ginetta Sagan Fund, which continues to give an annual award for outstanding achievement in human rights. For her service during World War II and her human rights activism, Sagan was awarded the following: La croce al merito di Guerra, Italy (1968); Italo-American Woman of the Year (1980); honorary doctorate, Starr King School (1981); Jefferson Award (1987); Albert Schweitzer Award from Chapman College (1990); Grande Ufficiale Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana (1995); the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996); and the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (2010). Scope and Content of Collection The papers document the life and work of human rights activist Ginetta Sagan through memoirs, oral history interviews, correspondence, press releases, reports, transcripts, notes, lists, questionnaires, news dispatches, printed matter, videos, and sound recordings. Sagan's papers also contain records of three different human rights organizations: Amnesty International, founded in 1961 by Peter Benenson; Humanitas, founded in 1979 by Joan Baez; and the Aurora Foundation, founded in 1981 by Ginetta Sagan. Acquired in more than twenty separate increments from 1983 to 2011, the papers remain in the order received from the donor. When available, original folder titles have been retained. An index to major groups represented in Sagan's papers is included in this inventory; researchers should note, however, that not all items fall within the groups listed. The bulk of Sagan's papers consists of Aurora Foundation and Amnesty International records, as well as Vietnam research materials used to write two editions of Violations of Human Rights in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Sagan researched human rights violations throughout the world, but her activism, fundraising, and writing were focused primarily on prisoners of conscience in Cambodia, Chile, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Poland, and Vietnam. These materials include correspondence, interview transcripts, research materials, and writings documenting human rights violations. Of particular interest are sound recordings and video tapes of activists Joan Baez, Lech Wałęsa, François Ponchaud, and former prisoners of Vietnamese reeducation camps. As a scholar at Stanford University's Institute for Research on Women and Gender from 1986 to 1990, Sagan researched the role of women in the Italian resistance during World War II, materials of which can be found in the Italian resistance research group. Received in 2011, boxes 282 to 351 and oversize materials in box 93 contain the last increment to Ginetta Sagan's papers. This portion of the collection was assembled by Sim Smiley, a researcher hired by the Aurora Foundation to document Sagan's life. Comprised mainly of biographical materials such as oral history transcripts, photographs, correspondence, and memoirs, the papers provide more comprehensive documentation of Sagan's World War II years. The last increment also contains research materials on Vietnam, the Italian resistance, and Aurora Foundation records. Index of Major Groups The papers are in the order in which they were received from the donor. All materials, with the exception of sound and video recordings, are in labelled folders. Most

  • Taking Better Account: Contemporary Slavery, Gendered Narratives, and the Feminization of Struggle
    Samuel Martı´nez Taking Better Account: Contemporary Slavery, Gendered Narratives, and the Feminization of Struggle Women are taking leading roles in redefining social concepts and global policy issues in areas such as development, democracy, human rights, world security, and the environment. This means not just looking at what have been called ‘‘women’s issues’’—a ghetto, or separate sphere that remains on the margins of society—but rather moving women from the margins to the center by questioning the most fundamental concepts of our social order so that they take better account of women’s lives.1 Not just ‘‘victims’’ but perpetrators and responders, too, are characters whose stories and personal details convey the gendered character of human rights reporting. Accepting this fact and considering that male responders and perpetrators feature in human rights narratives more often than female, it also follows that male as well as female gender constructs are encoded in human rights narratives. These prin- ciples—that gender is a salient dimension of the construction of all three figures in Makau Mutua’s triumvirate of ‘‘saint, savage and victim,’’ and that preconceptions about masculinity as well as femininity give texture and emotional depth to human rights representations—are the starting point for my reading of the gender of human rights narratives.2 A feminist reading, following Charlotte Bunch’s words in the epigraph, means not just looking at ‘‘women’s issues’’ but questioning fundamental aspects of the social order. Are there aspects of the global social order that, when taken for granted within human rights discourse, work in tandem with assumed aspects of small-scale social orders to relegate women and derogated minorities to silence and passivity? I present evidence that such exclusionary effects are real but operate subtly—blanket critique of human rights is not what I seek and it is not my point to style human rights the handmaiden of a new imperialism.

  • Amnesty International, Human Rights & U.S. Policy
    AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, HUMAN RIGHTS & U.S. POLICY Maria Baldwin A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: Gary R. Hess, Advisor Franklin W. Goza Graduate Faculty Representative Robert Buffington Douglas Forsyth ii ABSTRACT Gary R. Hess, Advisor This dissertation assesses Amnesty International’s ability to influence U.S. foreign policy through an examination of its human rights campaigns in three different nations—Guatemala, the United States and the People’s Republic of China. While these nations are quite different from one another, according to Amnesty International they share an important characteristic; each nation has violated their citizens’ human rights. Sometimes the human rights violations, which provoked Amnesty International’s involvement occurred on a large scale; such as the “disappearances” connected with Guatemala’s long civil war or the imprisonment of political dissidents in the PRC. Other times the human rights violations that spurred Amnesty International’s involvement occurred on a smaller-scale but still undermined the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; such as the United States use of capital punishment. During the Guatemalan and Chinese campaigns Amnesty International attempted to influence the United States relations with these countries by pressuring U.S. policymakers to construct foreign policies that reflected a grave concern for institutionalized human rights abuse and demanded its end. Similarly during its campaign against the United States use of the death penalty Amnesty International attempted to make it a foreign policy liability for the United States. How effective Amnesty International has been in achieving these goals is the subject of this dissertation.

    Amnesty International USA Winter 2008 Supporting courageous women who risk their lives to defend the human rights of others. "Ginetta Sagan's name is synonymous with the fight for human rights around the world. She represents to all the triumph of the human spirit over tyranny." -President Bill Clinton- For more than three decades, the late Ginetta Sagan, recipient of the 1996 Presidential Medal of Freedom, fought for the lives and rights of prisoners of conscience throughout the world. A tireless crusader and eternal optimist, Ginetta's passionate dedication inspired generations of human rights advocates.

Sharing the Travail of Reeducation Camps, Expelling the Betrayer: The Politics of Deportation in a Vietnamese American Community Ayako SAHARA* INTRODUCTION: POLITICS OF DEPORTATION Deportation has become a hot issue in the United States, especially under the current Donald Trump administration, where it is a part of the president’s “America fi rst” agenda. Immigration raids and detention are the primary components of the new American “deportation regime.”1 The regime itself emerged with the application of principles of neoliberal governance to immigration in the late 1990s because of the surge in anti-immigrant sentiment and accelerated after the launch of the so-called war on ter ror in 2001. Trump has described undocumented immigrants as not only inassimilable but also criminal to justify the curbing of even legal immigration, besides clamping down on illegal immigration.2 The issue of deportation is about who should and should not be in a community. In the current deportation regime, “deportability” is initiated and imposed by state power; further, the process has been normalized and standardized.3 Deportability in the United States has been associated with criminality, which includes not only committing actual crimes within the United States or outside but also making bogus asylum claims. The US government, moreover, has a long history of denying and *Associate Professor, Ohtsuki City College 111 112 AYAKO SAHARA expelling those whom the government does not want.4 Law professor Daniel Kanstroom advises that the deportation trend should be understood in its long historical context.5 Deportation is not only a technology of government to emphasize national borders but a way for a community to expel their “others” to maintain their unity.
