Kissing Ass And Other Performative Acts Of Resistance: Austin, Fanon, And New Orleans Tourism, Lynnell L. Thomas
Kissing Ass And Other Performative Acts Of Resistance: Austin, Fanon, And New Orleans Tourism, Lynnell L. Thomas
Lynnell Thomas
“Kissing Ass and other Performative Acts of Resistance: Austin, Fanon, and New Orleans Tourism” examines Frantz Fanon’s “Algeria Unveiled” as a reconceptualization of J. L. Austin’s theory of the performative. Austin, whose examples of the performative all assume an equal, if not harmonious, relationship, overlooks instances of incompatibility and inequality. Fanon’s post-colonial framework, on the other hand, illustrates the markedly different types of intentions, uptake, and conventions which inform the speech act in cases of extreme inequality. In these cases, the powerless and seemingly voiceless use tacitly agreed upon conventions “inappropriately” to attain what they would not be able to …
Racial Adjudication, Andrew Carlon
Racial Adjudication, Andrew Carlon
Andrew Carlon
In oral arguments for the recent voluntary integration cases, Justice Kennedy raised for the first time a question about the limits of the Court's colorblind jurisprudence which has troubled legal scholars for the past decade: If we make no distinction between benign and discriminatory racial classifications, and none between facially race-neutral policies adopted with a racially discriminatory purpose and those where racial classifications are patent, then may we still take facially race-neutral measures to accomplish benign - but racial - goals? If using race to integrate and to segregate are the same, then why are race-neutral means to achieve each …

Race, Gender And Stroke Subtypes Mortality In Sao Paulo, Brazil., Paulo A. Lotufo
Paulo A Lotufo
Stroke mortality rates have a discrepant distribution according to socioeconomic variables as social exclusion in Brazil. Recently, data from race has been available from the official health statistics considering five categories: White, Mixed, Black, Asian and Native. We addressed in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, an analysis of cerebrovascular mortality according to race (excluding Asian and Native due to small number of events) and gender during 1999-2001 for people aged 30 to 79 years-old. For all cerebrovascular diseases, age-adjusted mortality rates (x 100,000) for men were higher for Black (150.2), intermediate for Mixed (124.2) and lower for White (104.5) …
A Comparison Of Civilian And Enlisted Divorce Rates During The Early All Volunteer Force, Jennifer H. Lundquist
A Comparison Of Civilian And Enlisted Divorce Rates During The Early All Volunteer Force, Jennifer H. Lundquist
Dr. Jennifer H. Lundquist
The belief that enlisted military divorce rates are unusually high is a recurring theme expressed among those living in the military community, yet quantitative data on military divorce rates remain a virtual lacuna. The all-volunteer enlisted force also happens to be an almost all-married enlisted force. Assessing the degree of marital dissolution experienced by military personnel has important implications for the well being of military families and also for readiness levels and reenlistment likelihood. In this paper, I analyze underutilized military data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and find that enlisted divorce rates in the Armed Forces are …
