Historiography Of The Dakota Conflict, Kellian Clink
Historiography Of The Dakota Conflict, Kellian Clink
Library Services Publications
I am honored to be allowed to address this group today. I am a librarian by trade and a historian by avocation. I have been studying history for something like 20 years as a student and a lay reader and am interested how history has changed during that period, but more generally, how it has changed and is changing throughout the history of our state. To this end, I decided to study a relatively finite event, the Dakota War, from the beginning of Minnesota’s historical writings to the present. My hypothesis was that I would find both overt racism as …

Hip-Hop/Scotch: "Sounding Francophone" In French And United States Cultures, Francesca Sautman
Hip-Hop/Scotch: "Sounding Francophone" In French And United States Cultures, Francesca Sautman
Publications and Research
This essay adresses the relationship between "being/speaking Francophone" and forms of ethnic-cultural dissent in France and the U.S. In both countries, terms such as Francophone and Francophonie are often captured by specific political agendas and practicies. What it means to be "Francophone" involves complex interfacings between various langages, including English and French, between competing discursive claims made on the basis of linguistic home and the particular forms of cultural and linguistic hybridity, such as French hip-hop culture and world music.

Imagining The South Seas: Thoughts On The Sexual Politics Of Paradise In Samoa, Sharon W. Tiffany
Imagining The South Seas: Thoughts On The Sexual Politics Of Paradise In Samoa, Sharon W. Tiffany
Pacific Studies
Controversy generated by criticism of research Margaret Mead conducted nearly three-quarters of a century ago reminds us that modern ethnography came of age with fieldwork conducted on the sexual lives of Pacific Islanders. The Samoa debate suggests that an exotic eroticism continues to inform representations of women in anthropological writings and popular culture, and that Samoa is a candidate for sexual paradise on earth. This article explores the image-making of paradise by examining book covers and photographs associated with Margaret Mead’s and Derek Freeman’s narratives of Samoa. As cultural artifacts, book covers and photographs offer an intriguing way of investigating …

Germs Or Rations? Beriberi And The Japanese Labor Experiment In Colonial Fiji And Queensland, Judith A. Bennett
Germs Or Rations? Beriberi And The Japanese Labor Experiment In Colonial Fiji And Queensland, Judith A. Bennett
Pacific Studies
In the early 1890s, the Colonial Sugar Refinery Company (CSR) introduced Japanese men to their sugar plantations in Fiji and Queensland because man- agement believed they would prove to be superior workers to other “coloured” labor. In Fiji, an outbreak of beriberi killed many of the Japanese. The medical establishment attributed this to an infective agent, instead of diet, so there was fear the disease could spread. CSR quickly abandoned the costly “experiment” in Fiji. In Queensland, however, the company successfully controlled a beriberi outbreak by altering the rations, though for fear of contaminated food rather than for balanced diet. …
Legal Discretion In A Territorial Justice System: The Case Of The Territory Of Guam, Daniel A. Lennon
Legal Discretion In A Territorial Justice System: The Case Of The Territory Of Guam, Daniel A. Lennon
Pacific Studies
A sociologist examines the place of customs and tradition in the definition of “legal discretion” in the Territory of Guam, a dependency of the United States, utilizing the concept of double-institutionalism as the basis for such definition in the resolution of the dialectic between custom and law. The contemporary resolutions between customary practices and constitutional law in Guam are de- scribed and evaluated using both written and interview material. The findings suggest the internal politics of a state is the synthesis of this dialectic between custom and law. The absence of constitutional bases in law in any political state necessarily …
