Race, Immigration Reform, And Heteropatriarchal Masculinity: Reframing The Obama Presidency, Seth N. Asumah
Race, Immigration Reform, And Heteropatriarchal Masculinity: Reframing The Obama Presidency, Seth N. Asumah
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
In this article, I argue that the macroscopic nature and complexity of race, hegemonic masculinity, and immigration issues in the United States put President Obama in a double bind for any attempt to secure reforms—situations which produce limited options and exposure to penalties in reaching solutions.
Angela Y Davis And Assata Shakur As Women Outlaws: Resisting U.S. State Violence, Mechthild Nagel
Angela Y Davis And Assata Shakur As Women Outlaws: Resisting U.S. State Violence, Mechthild Nagel
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
Angela Y Davis and Assata Olugbala Shakur have many overlapping histories of struggle in the face of state repression. Both revolutionary freedom fighters were captured after spending time underground as a result of intense surveillance and being marked for outlaw status. They continue to speak out against racist and sexist injustices and global capitalism.
The Coloniality Of Language: Race, Expressivity, Power, And The Darker Side Of Modernity, Gabriela A. Veronelli
The Coloniality Of Language: Race, Expressivity, Power, And The Darker Side Of Modernity, Gabriela A. Veronelli
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
This article presents a new framework to analyze linguistic relations of power that examines the linguistic effects of what Aníbal Quijano has theorized as “the coloniality of power.” The argument is organized in two sections. The first section introduces “the coloniality of language,” an expression the author uses to refer to the process of racialization of colonized populations as communicative agents beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing until today. This section includes an account of the language and communication paradigm being developed at the time of the Conquest, which, the author argues, contains the coloniality inside. In the second …
Race-Based Epistemologies: The Role Of Race And Dominance In Knowledge Production, Shana Almeida
Race-Based Epistemologies: The Role Of Race And Dominance In Knowledge Production, Shana Almeida
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
Mainstream academia in the West reinscribes racial thinking by strategically reducing the theoretical contributions of racialized and Indigenous scholars to “stories.” In my analysis, I describe how this reduction reproduces the ideological, discursive and material racism in knowledge production by centering the white western scholar as the “true” knower.

“Ain’T No Real Pimps Out There No More”: Street-Involved Women’S Characterizations Of Men Who Facilitate Street-Based Sex Work, Susan Dewey, Rhett Epler
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
Drawing upon five years of ethnographic research with over 100 Denver, Colorado women involved in street‐based sex work and drug use, this paper explores what the women's discursive framings of men who facilitate women's sex work activities reveal about the exclusionary social and criminal justice practices that shape their lives.

Spousal Violence, Women, And Resistance In Postsocialist China, Tiantian Zheng
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies

Homemakers, Communists, And Refugees: Smuggling Anti-Apartheid Refugees In Rural Lesotho In The 1960s And 1970s, John Aerni-Flessner
Homemakers, Communists, And Refugees: Smuggling Anti-Apartheid Refugees In Rural Lesotho In The 1960s And 1970s, John Aerni-Flessner
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
This article tells the story of Maleseka Kena, a woman born in South Africa but who lived most of her adult life in rural Lesotho. It narrates how her story of helping apartheid refugees cross the border and move onward complicates understandings of what the international border, belonging, and citizenship meant for individuals living near it. By interweaving her story with larger narratives about the changing political, social, and economic climate of the southern African region, it also highlights the spaces that women had for making an impact politically despite facing structural obstacles both in the regional economy and in …

The Intricacies Of Adopting International “Norms” From The Bottom Up, Malia L. Womack Uc Berkeley

The publication also investigates the successes and shortcomings of the ordinance’s materialization.
