Will The Real "Che" Guevara Please Stand Up? Labor And Authoritarianism In Sandinista Nicaragua, Stephen Diamond Oct 2007

Will The Real "Che" Guevara Please Stand Up? Labor And Authoritarianism In Sandinista Nicaragua, Stephen Diamond

Stephen F. Diamond

This paper examines the impact of authoritarian left theory, in particular that of “Che” Guevara, on labor rights during the Sandinista’s Nicaraguan revolution. This is important because of the current revival of movements like that of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela that rely on similar approaches to labor and human rights issues as that of the original Sandinista movement. In addition, there is widespread interest today in “Che” Guevara, yet little is known or understood about his actual politics while in power during the early years of the Cuban revolution. In addition, there is increasing sympathy for such authoritarian approaches to …


Reflections On The Technicolor Right To Association In American Labor And Employment Law, Paul M. Secunda Jul 2007

Reflections On The Technicolor Right To Association In American Labor And Employment Law, Paul M. Secunda

Paul M. Secunda

It is time to rethink how the United States enforces the right of association in the workplace. The proliferation of political associational rights, intimate association rights, and expressive association rights in the constitutional sphere over the last thirty years has made the scope of this fundamental civil liberty confusing and hard to enforce. Outside of the constitutional framework, which generally applies only to public employees, low union density and the lack of common law associational claims have made private-sector employees' associational rights vulnerable. The unfortunate consequence may be that American workers currently enjoy less associational freedoms than almost any other …

Dangerous Bodies: Freak Shows, Expression, And Exploitation, Brigham A. Fordham Dec 2006

Dangerous Bodies: Freak Shows, Expression, And Exploitation, Brigham A. Fordham

Brigham A Fordham

The freak shows of the late 1800s and early 1900s, which traveled the nation exhibiting “human oddities” for profit, are regaining popularity as an underground form of entertainment. While some non-legal scholars have investigated the meaning of freak shows in American culture, little attention has been paid to the laws that regulate freak shows or the legal rights of freak show participants. This Article seeks to introduce legal discourse into the discussion of freak shows and, in the process, to comment on legal approaches to preventing discrimination against persons who are physically different. Drawing upon the theories and analysis of …
