Guarding Life's Dark Secrets: Legal And Social Controls Over Reputation, Propriety, And Privacy Book Review, Alex Lubin Jan 2008

Guarding Life's Dark Secrets: Legal And Social Controls Over Reputation, Propriety, And Privacy Book Review, Alex Lubin

American Studies Faculty and Staff Publications

This short but well-researched and well-written book adds to the existing literature about the origins of the Cold War national security state and about the link between international crisis and domestic surveillance. The book confirms previous portraits of FDR as a president with a somewhat relaxed view of civil liberties, and it shows compellingly how Hoover perfected the use of criminal investigations, launched to find evidence of unlawful activities and to gather, file, and disseminate political and other forms of noncriminal intelligence. It therefore fills a void in the scholarship on the FBI, which has tended to focus on the …

On The Internal Border: Colonial Difference, The Cold War, And The Locations Of "Underdevelopment", Alyosha Goldstein Jan 2008

On The Internal Border: Colonial Difference, The Cold War, And The Locations Of "Underdevelopment", Alyosha Goldstein

American Studies Faculty and Staff Publications

In 1962, the recently established Peace Corps announced plans for an intensive field training initiative that would acclimate the agency's burgeoning multitude of volunteers to the conditions of poverty in "underdeveloped" countries and immerse them in "foreign" cultures ostensibly similar to where they would be later stationed. This training was designed to be "as realistic as possible, to give volunteers a 'feel' of the situation they will face." With this purpose in mind, the Second Annual Report of the Peace Corps recounted, "Trainees bound for social work in Colombian city slums were given on-the-job training in New York City's Spanish …

Conscious And Unconscious Processes In Human Desire, J Andrade, J May, Dk Kavanagh Jan 2008

Conscious And Unconscious Processes In Human Desire, J Andrade, J May, Dk Kavanagh

School of Psychology

Elaborated Intrusion theory (Kavanagh, Andrade & May 2005) distinguishes between unconscious, associative processes as the precursors of desire, and controlled processes of cognitive elaboration that lead to conscious sensory images of the target of desire and associated affect. We argue that these mental images play a key role in motivating human behavior. Consciousness is functional in that it allows competing goals to be compared and evaluated. The role of effortful cognitive processes in desire helps to explain the different time courses of craving and physiological withdrawal.

The performance that is the basis for this joint publication was performed at the Harriet Tubman Theatre at the National Underground Railroad Justice Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.

This performance experiments with both method and content. The method is a …

Taxation Without Liquidation: Rethinking "Ability To Pay", Sergio Pareja Jan 2008

Taxation Without Liquidation: Rethinking "Ability To Pay", Sergio Pareja

Faculty Scholarship

This Article proposes a novel way to tax wealth transfers. Specifically, it suggests that we divide all assets transferred by gift or bequest into two classes--illiquid assets and liquid assets. The recipient should include those assets in income but be allowed two options. With respect to illiquid assets, the recipient should be able to avoid immediate income inclusion if he takes the property with an income-tax basis of zero. With respect to liquid assets, the recipient should be allowed a full income-tax deduction if he rolls the gift or bequest into a deductible IRA. The combination of these simple rules …

The Alchemy Of Exile: Strengthening A Culture Of Human Rights In The Burundian Refugee Camps In Tanzania, Jennifer Moore Jan 2008

The Alchemy Of Exile: Strengthening A Culture Of Human Rights In The Burundian Refugee Camps In Tanzania, Jennifer Moore

Faculty Scholarship

This Article suggests that our analysis of U.S. immigration policy should also be informed by a broader consideration of the experiences of immigrants and refugees in other parts of the world, including those who will never come to the United States. As we examine the moral, legal, and pragmatic imperatives behind the evolution of U.S. immigration policy, we should bear in mind the historical, political, economic, and cultural realities facing developing countries that host refugees from within their own regions. For some observers, such a global perspective might support calls for greater receptivity to immigrants in the United States. For …
