The Beecher Sisters As Nineteenth-Century Feminist Icons Of The Sameness-Difference Debate, Tracy A. Thomas
The Beecher Sisters As Nineteenth-Century Feminist Icons Of The Sameness-Difference Debate, Tracy A. Thomas
Tracy A. Thomas
This essay reviews the recent book, The Beecher Sisters by Barbara White, through the lens of feminist theory. It argues that each of the three great women chronicled in the book – Catharine Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Isabella Beecher Hooker – serve as icons for each of the distinct strands of modern feminist thought. Barbara White, a professor emeritus of women’s studies at the University of New Hampshire, has given the field of women’s legal history a boost with her interdisciplinary contribution to the social and legal history of women. In The Beecher Sisters, White introduces us to each …

Book Review Essay: Healing Feminism's Broken Heart, Katie Rose Guest Pryal
Book Review Essay: Healing Feminism's Broken Heart, Katie Rose Guest Pryal
Katie Rose Guest Pryal
Book review essay of Andrea Dworkin's last book, Heartbreak: The Political Memoir of a Feminist Militant. This review examines the use of the “memoir mode” to further political work and rebuts critiques that Dworkin's writing is too “confessional” - incorporating “guilty personal detail for emotional effect.” I suggest that Dworkin’s “confessions” have a distinct purpose. She is not driven by ego or solipsism; instead of focusing on her accomplishments, she creates life-lines between seminal moments in her childhood and young adulthood and the politics that define her life now. The small rebellions of the child echo the large rebellions of …
The Human Rights Dilemma: Rethinking The Humanitarian Project, Deborah M. Weissman
The Human Rights Dilemma: Rethinking The Humanitarian Project, Deborah M. Weissman
Deborah M. Weissman
This Article provides an interpretive account of the human rights discourse at a time when the U.S. legal community is deepening its relationship with these issues. It maps the context of the human rights project over the past one hundred years, with a critical eye and as a cautionary tale. It reviews the historical circumstances and the ideological framework in which human rights have been appropriated as an instrument of national policy, often to the detriment of humanitarian objectives. It considers the role of law, not only as an instrument by which colonial rule was maintained but as a system …

The termination of a collegiate athletic career is inevitable for all student athletes. The purpose of this study was to explore student athletes’ perceptions of the athletic career transition process.

The LASS is a 58-item mixed method inventory. The scope of this inquiry explored the qualitative section, which examined participants’ perceptions that were visually primed with a narrative description of a student athlete who made the transition out of collegiate sport successfully. Three major …

College Students' Perceptions, Myths, And Stereotypes About African American Athleticism: A Qualitative Investigation, Keith Harrison
Dr. C. Keith Harrison
Examining the ‘natural’ athlete myth and utilizing the recent literature on cultural/social factors in athleticism, this study through survey research examines the myth of the ‘natural’ African American athlete. Participants consist of 301 university students from a large, traditionally White, midwest institution. The primary research question is to determine the attitudes of college students in terms of how they perceive the success of the African American athlete in certain sports. The purpose is to assess participants’ perceptions of the African American athlete and their opinion as to whether or not African American athletes are superior in certain sports (football, basketball, …
Men Of A Thousand Days: Death-Sentenced Inmates At Utah State Prison, Sandra Mcgunigall-Smith
Men Of A Thousand Days: Death-Sentenced Inmates At Utah State Prison, Sandra Mcgunigall-Smith
Sandy McGunigall-Smith
Studies of the pains of confinement and coping techniques have ignored the experiences of death-sentenced inmates, particularly those in the USA housed under the punitive regimes of supermax facilities. This research is a qualitative, mini-longitudinal study carried out between 1997 and 2001 which examines the particular pains of confinement for inmates in the supermax facility of Utah State Prison and how they coped with life under the sentence of death. The findings suggest that these inmates experienced different pains and utilized different coping techniques than those described in prison literature.
