Having survived the cold war and Asian financial crisis of 1997,\n \nthe Association remains a uniquely successful, yet enigmatic organization comprised of ten major Southeast Asian countries. ASEAN\n \nnations have successfully obtained rapid levels of economic and human development in the face of the region's political difficulties, yet at the risk of causing significant environmental degradation. Now, ASEAN\n \nis implementing two new structures that have major implications for the state of civil society among its member nations-the ASEAN\n \nCharter and the ASEAN\n \nIntergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR). This Article examines ASEAN's overarching framework for environmental governance, its normative culture of decision-making, and how the Charter and AICHR could potentially offer significantly divergent paths for the Association in light of its environmental and human rights challenges. It particularly examines how the limitations of ASEAN's elite governing and decision-making norms constrain the possibilities for an expansive civil society under the Charter and AICHR in these areas, and the challenges of integrating environmental and human rights paradigms within this context. Finally, this Article outlines some procedural reforms that ASEAN\n \nshould adopt that might address its developmental concerns from a participatory standpoint in light of the parameters that constrain the Association's normative realities.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0v14x8bx","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Tarik","middle_name":"","last_name":"Abdel-Monem","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2014-03-31T00:58:16-04:00","date_accepted":"2014-03-31T00:58:16-04:00","date_published":"2011-12-31T19:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_pblj/article/61220/galley/47254/download/"},{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_pblj/article/61220/galley/47255/download/"}]},{"pk":61218,"title":"Born to Run: Can an American Samoan Become President?","subtitle":null,"abstract":"American Samoa holds the unique distinction of being the only American jurisdiction whose residents have been declared by Congress to be U.S. \"nationals\" at birth, and not U.S. \"citizens.\" This article examines the question of whether an American born on U.S. soil as a \"national\" can become president within the meaning of the \"natural born citizen\" clause of Article II, Section I of the United States Constitution, or whether Congress can, by statute, deprive an American Samoan of presidential eligibility. The article explores the uphill battle an American Samoan candidate will face in light of Congress' broad Article IV power over U.S. territories and case law surrounding the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause, and details legal avenues that may prove successful for presidential eligibility. The article argues that even if an American Samoan were technically ineligible under Article II, jurisdictional doctrines of political question and standing to challenge presidential elections, accompanied by possible Congressional reluctance to nullify an election, may prevent litigation from arising in the first place, and allow the ineligible candidate to prevail in obtaining the presidency.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4nn7x5fw","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Adam","middle_name":"","last_name":"Clanton","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2014-03-31T00:55:18-04:00","date_accepted":"2014-03-31T00:55:18-04:00","date_published":"2011-12-31T19:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_pblj/article/61218/galley/47250/download/"},{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_pblj/article/61218/galley/47251/download/"}]},{"pk":36819,"title":"Cabrera, Ana Maria.

Domestic violence is both a global and local phenomenon. The World Bank argues that domestic violence accounts for one in five lost years in women aged 15-44. The costs range from direct expenses such as medical care and social services to productivity and labor market costs to the psychological toll imposed by the intergenerational transmission of violence. The international women's movement and the international human rights conventions have confirmed that violence in the home is neither a private issue nor a cultural practice. Domestic violence was placed on the global agenda as a global epidemic largely due to an explosion of activism by women's rights activists. Bolstered by increasing pressure from international women's human rights advocates, domestic movements demanded the governments make domestic violence lawmaking central to good governance. The explosion of lawmaking around the world on domestic violence makes this clear by establishing state accountability for violence in the home. The positive responsibility of the state inherent in human rights treaties therefore required states to take positive measures to end domestic violence. The concept of state responsibility to include accountability for acts of private individuals is an integral part of the definition of domestic violence as a human rights violation. The concept of state responsibility has expanded to not only direct state action but also a state's systematic failure to act.\n \nDespite the weak enforcement of these laws, the law making processes provide women's movements an opportunity to network globally. The transformation of international human rights and transnational idea sharing into domestic violence lawmaking has been defined as one of the most important social movements of our times. Although much more must be done to realize the promise of these laws, countries that are in the process of lawmaking have much to learn from these experiences. In the last decade, many countries in the Asian region have either passed or are in the process of passing national domestic violence laws. Despite the fact that the laws in force are yet to be transformed fully into practice these laws are important benchmarks and integrate some novel elements in domestic violence lawmaking. Although there is little homogeneity in the Asian region in the field of political, economic, social, or cultural development, these laws have the transformative potential to create new standards in an area where women victims of violence are often silenced because of a culture of impunity. The existence of a law provides space for women to claim their right to bodily integrity and security. Many elements of these laws in different parts of Asia are also instructive to other jurisdictions and can resonate between and across the Asian region.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3ft6n6rd","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Rangita","middle_name":"","last_name":"de Silva de Alwis","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2014-03-31T00:57:01-04:00","date_accepted":"2014-03-31T00:57:01-04:00","date_published":"2011-12-31T19:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_pblj/article/61219/galley/47252/download/"},{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_pblj/article/61219/galley/47253/download/"}]},{"pk":36816,"title":"El desafío de publicar una revista trasnacional y bilingüe.

It asks if humanitarian and ministerial discretion admissions and preferential admission schemes sufficiently address potential Pacific island relocations brought about by global warming and climate change, and identifies both opportunities and challenges in legislation.\n \nThis paper argues that in the absence of an international legal protection regime for environmental migrants, states need to expand immigration opportunites for persons fleeing from environmental threats. In recent decades, the four above-mentioned Pacific Rim states have developed relatively open and liberal migration policies, albeit not specifically geared towards environmental migration. Admitting environmental migrants under equitable and just terms is not only in line with the fundamental values and interests of these Pacific Rim states, but it is also central to their ethical, humanitarian, and domestic legal obligations, although the latter are ad hoc and limited.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1st2t5qs","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Gil","middle_name":"Marvel","last_name":"Tabucanon","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2014-03-31T01:09:37-04:00","date_accepted":"2014-03-31T01:09:37-04:00","date_published":"2011-12-31T19:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_pblj/article/61224/galley/47260/download/"},{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_pblj/article/61224/galley/47261/download/"}]},{"pk":60205,"title":"Next-Generation Piracy: How Search Engines Will Destroy the Music Business","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This Comment seeks to address the problems that search engines\n \ncreate for the music business in our ever-evolving digital society.\n \nPiracy costs are now measured in billions, encompassing lost revenue\n \nand job cutbacks.

Since\n \nFrance first codified the right into law in 1920, at least fifty countries\n \nhave followed suit. To date, the United States, with the exception of\n \nCalifornia, has been notably absent from this picture. But a federal\n \nresale royalty law is now on the horizon for American artists. In\n \nDecember 2011, delegates in both the U.S. House of Representatives\n \nand the U.S. Senate introduced the Equity for Visual Artists Act of\n \n2011 (EVAA), a bill which would amend the existing copyright law to\n \ninclude a resale royalty provision.\n \n \nThis Article evaluates whether Congress should adopt the EVAA,\n \nor some other variation of the resale royalty right, and provides\n \nguidance to lawmakers in considering such legislation. Specifically,\n \nthis Article points out that an informational deficit, which it terms the\n \ninformation problem, looms over the resale royalty right.

San Francisco Bay tidal marshes are occupied by more than 113 bird species that represent 31 families, including five subspecies from three families that we denote as tidal-marsh obligates. To better identify the niche of bird species in tidal marshes, we present a review of functional groups based on foraging guilds and habitat associations. Foraging guilds describe the method by which species obtain food from tidal marshes, while habitat associations describe broad areas within the marsh that have similar environmental conditions. For example, the ubiquitous song sparrows (Alameda \nMelospiza melodia pusillula\n, Suisun \nM. m. maxillaris\n, and San Pablo \nM. m. samuelis\n) are surface-feeding generalists that consume prey from vegetation and the ground, and they are found across the entire marsh plain into the upland–marsh transition. In contrast, surface-feeding California black rails (\nLaterallus jamaicensis coturniculus\n) are cryptic, and generally restricted in their distribution to the mid- and high-marsh plain. Although in the same family, the endangered California clapper rail (\nRallus longirostris obsoletus\n) has become highly specialized, foraging primarily on benthic fauna within marsh channels when they are exposed at low tide. Shorebirds such as the black-necked stilt (\nHimantopus mexicanus\n) typically probe in mud flats to consume macroinvertebrate prey, and are generally restricted to foraging on salt pans within the marsh plain, in ponds, or on mud flats during transitional stages of marsh evolution. The abundance and distribution of birds varies widely with changing water depths and vegetation colonization during different stages of restoration. Thus, tidal-marsh birds represent a rich and diverse community in bay marshes, with niches that may be distinguished by the food resources they consume and the habitats that they occupy along the tidal gradient.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

In the San Francisco Bay–Delta, the areas most likely to be affected—brackish and freshwater tidal wetlands—are also the sites with the majority of endemic plant species and the greater biodiversity and productivity. Effects on the San Francisco Bay– Delta estuary are complex and difficult to predict, but a few things are clear. Biodiversity of the tidal wetland system in the San Francisco Bay–Delta region will decline, with subsequent effects on ecosystem functioning and services. Altered plant production, physiological tolerances, and shifts in rates of mortality will modify wetland plant communities in ways not yet predictable. Lower ecosystem productivity from salinity increases will affect both primary and detrital-based food webs. Such changes will cascade via the food webs into invertebrate, bird, and pelagic systems. Tidal wetlands are especially sensitive to processes that climate change will alter. Several of these altered processes are exacerbated by water diversions from the Delta.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Sites were graded and planted, and tidal connections were re-established with the expectation that restored wetlands would quickly resemble natural ecosystems.  Over time, restoration efforts have evolved, with the realization that natural development of restoration sites is preferable, including a dense channel network and the accumulation of soils of appropriate texture.  Bay restoration efforts also have grown substantially in size and scope.  Whereas projects of 50 hectares were considered large in the 1980s, now many projects are 100s of hectares.  Larger projects are on the scale of 1000s of hectares, with the largest approximately 6000 hectares (the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project).  This massive increase in scale has brought enormous restoration opportunities, but it also has increased the complexity of restoration projects and highlighted the necessity of large-scale public involvement.

Thus, when executives who have made cautious decisions in their career choices and sound investments in their personal security are laid off in the wake of unforeseen structural economic changes far beyond their control, they look to personal failings to provide explanation and meaning to their struggles. Through interviews with sixteen men and women who have faced significant long-term unemployment since the onset of the Great Recession, this research looks at whether and how this pattern has changed today. In the midst of this very public, wide reaching, and much discussed economic decline, what does downward mobility mean for Americans? Ultimately, it finds that while people facing long-term unemployment today see their problems in more structural terms than did their predecessors, they still overwhelmingly think about solutions in a highly individualistic framework.","language":"en","license":{"name":"All rights reserved","short_name":"Copyright","text":"© the author(s).

At the same time, eleven African countries use less than half the arable land within their borders (Economist). 62% of Africa’s population (excluding South Africa) works in agriculture, generating 27% of these countries’ GDP. An astonishing 80% of Africans depend on subsistence agriculture to provide food for their families (Bunting). An agriculture-led strategy for economic growth is one of the best ways to alleviate poverty on the continent. Not only are the direct effects powerful due to the huge number of Africans employed in agriculture, but the indirect effects of improved agricultural output and efficiency can also have a multiplier effect on the economy. Increased production can lower staple food prices, increasing purchasing power parity for consumers thereby allowing Africans to divert spending onto other products. A more reliable food system increases political stability and the welfare of the general population. In many of the faster growing African countries over the last few decades, agricultural growth rates were highly correlated with overall GDP growth. This paper will examine how technology transfers can improve agricultural productivity on the African continent, being sensitive to problems associated with each proposed solution.

The rise of the rural industrialists has meant that a handful of factory owners in a given township become wealthy by exploiting the cheap labor and minimal environmental restrictions of the countryside, and live luxurious modern lifestyles in the midst of rural poverty. These factory or business owners are often the newly rich, who have only gained their status in the recent decades and still have family and friendships ties in the townships, meaning that they are responsible for the heavy polluting of the environment that their own family members live in. This paper is a gathering of observations from my visit to Juancheng county, located in Shandong province in northeastern China. Past studies on rural industrialization in China are used to put my observations in historical and national context. Suggestions from other scholars and journalists on how to deal with the environmental and health impacts of rural industrialization are discussed. However, most of these suggestions deal primarily with economic incentive targeted at polluters for the sake of environmental protection. More emphasis should be placed on the health of the rural people who often work in both factories and farms, and these people’s rights to organize against government corruption. Furthermore, increasing factory owner and rural people’s access to education on ecological relationships, environmental well-being and public health, would be a meaningful step toward combating the government’s sole emphasis on economic growth, and shifting focus toward creating a more sustainable rural society.","language":"en","license":{"name":"All rights reserved","short_name":"Copyright","text":"© the author(s).

The larger project of the Harlem Renaissance, during which Toomer lived and wrote Cane, was to validate and celebrate African American artists and their work. As a result, the author's claims of racial ambiguity and multiracial identication, and their expression in his work, were poorly received. This paper looks at the tension between the aesthetically ambiguous qualities of the text as well as its role as a cultural artifact that can be explored and interpreted against different backdrops. Cane's aesthetic elements work primarily through the text's structural and linguistic ambiguity, a blurring of various themes that allow for readers to search for and conceive of their own meanings and experiences. To that end, I examine interpretations of racial identity in Cane during three signicant cultural periods: Cane's initial publication in 1923 during the Harlem Renaissance, its re-publication at the cusp of the modern Civil Rights movement in 1951, and our current age of supposed \"post-raciality\" in which the modern reader first discovers the text.","language":"en","license":{"name":"All rights reserved","short_name":"Copyright","text":"© the author(s).

The General Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model also shows that the SSE has high volatility clustering. Then, I examine the statistical relationships between consumer expenditure and the behavior of the SSE against theoretical predictions. Following the stock market \"wealth effect,\" one would expect higher (lower) stock returns would lead to higher (lower) consumer expenditure. The uncertainty hypothesis predicts that high volatility in the stock market will create higher uncertainty in consumption spending. However, my analyses using the Vector Auto-Regression (VAR) model show that private consumption expenditure in both rural and urban areas had no relationship with and was not aected by the market returns. Analyses also show that the volatility of the Shanghai Stock Exchange had a small lagged eect on urban private consumption expenditure. Results suggest that the Chinese stock market is relatively immature with higher volatility. At this stage, stock markets in China are still inefficient and do not serve as good leading indicators of future economic activities for Chinese consumers.","language":"en","license":{"name":"All rights reserved","short_name":"Copyright","text":"© the author(s).

The demise of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i, when an oligarchy of US white settler businessmen overthrew Queen Liliʻuokalani (1838–1917) in 1893, reduced aloha ‘āina (or land-cherishing) to a ghostly affect; to be blue in Hawai‘i, today, is to be in a state of ongoing and implacable mourning. This essay explores several affective historical scenes of Hawaiian injury: from the early nineteenth century, when Protestant missionaries began their effort to transform Hawaiian sensibilities; onto the Queen’s forced abdication via the McKinley 1898 annexation; and finally to the contemporary era of Hawaiian nationalist protest. The Queen’s story, contextualized by brief case studies of native bereavement earlier in the century (David Malo and Henry Obookiah), leads in the final sections to a query of the relation of affect—whether melancholic or rageful—to political effect. The essay concludes with a critical coda on President Obama’s declaration (in a speech given in Hawai‘i, before elected) that the “Aloha spirit” is “what America is looking for right now.” The problem with liberalism, as it is with certain versions of local/global studies, is that wounded, grievous affect cannot readily be translated (there is no efficacious transference) into specific political praxis.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Hawai‘i"},{"word":"Politics"},{"word":"Affect"},{"word":"Queen Liliʻuokalani"},{"word":"David Malo"},{"word":"Henry Obookiah"},{"word":"President Obama"},{"word":"Liberalism"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"SPECIAL FORUM: Globalization and American Literature","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5rc7b51t","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Bruce","middle_name":"","last_name":"Harvey","name_suffix":"","institution":"Florida International University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-19T21:13:25-05:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-19T21:13:25-05:00","date_published":"2011-12-20T17:57:45-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42531/galley/31754/download/"}]},{"pk":42530,"title":"Post-1898 Imaginative Geographies: Puerto Rico Migration in 1950s Film","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This essay studies cultural representations of Puerto Rico’s economic boom and 1952 shift in legal status to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It suggests that apprehending these events requires the reframing of Puerto Rican migration as global phenomena. Drawing on the historical and cultural scholarship on Puerto Rican migration, Operation Bootstrap, and US empire, Tolentino analyzes the famous musical film \nWest Side Story\n (1961), but also the Hollywood film \nSabrina\n (1954) and Island productions \nEl Otro Camino\n (\nThe Other Road\n, 1955) and \nMaruja\n (1958). In contrast to prevailing views, she interprets these films as narratives about migration and modernization that engage the discourse of sentimental modernization, the figure of the jíbaro, and the idea of small town Puerto Rico. In so doing, they reveal the global vision at the center of the Operation Bootstrap development plan and Commonwealth formation. The concluding section suggests how the films take up issues in Puerto Rico’s historiography. Rather than merely illuminating a forgotten historical period of 1950s Puerto Rico, the 1950s films negotiate Puerto Rico’s geographical, political, and cultural locations by rethinking institutionalized meanings of 1898 in discourses of Puerto Rico historiography and US empire.

Eliot’s central concept of tradition by reading “Tradition and the Individual Talent” in light of the representation of America’s conquest of the Philippines at the 1904 World’s Fair held in Eliot’s hometown of St. Louis. Against the stated ideology of the modern—which dismisses tradition as the inevitable cost of an ever-progressive modernity—Eliot recuperates the notion of tradition by showing how it is always engaged in a dialectical relation to the present. In this way, Eliot resists both the primitivism that reifies tradition as an unchanging realm of ancient values and the notion of historical progress intimately tied to the development of imperial capital.

It traces the contours of those themes and ideas that were shared across the different colonies, as well as the particular subject matter that photographers were attracted to in each colony. It also finds points of connection and continuity between US colonial photography, and photography in the Philippines in the Spanish colonial era.

No single person inspired as much attention from travelers, reporters, and photographers during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as Díaz, and their visions of the President helped to shape perceptions of Mexico as a desirable field in which to expand US capitalism and influence. Travelers clamored to meet him and his sophisticated young wife, and their travelogues were rich with descriptions of such encounters. Reporters, dazzled by the rapid transformation of Mexico during his 35-year rule, described Díaz in such terms as “the Mexican Wizard” and “the maker of modern Mexico” until the very end of his regime. Photographers, working in a relatively new medium, amassed a huge body of works devoted to the dictator; even at an advanced age late in his rule, the President’s image adorned postcards and commemorative \ncartes-de-visite\n that posited him in heroic and hypermasculine terms (not unlike those of his US counterpart, Theodore Roosevelt). Ultimately, this essay argues that representations like these reflected American desires for a Mexican body politic that was amenable to economic and social transformation under the inextricable banners of “progress” and US capitalism.

Of what value are empathy and sorrow in attaining political aims? This essay addresses these issues by focusing on travel writings by wives of American officials during the first decade of American rule in the Philippines. Officials’ wives offer an intimate and sentimentalist account of the ceremonies they participate in, threats of violence, and their pursuit of “sympathetic understanding” between Filipinos and the American official community. Through letters written to families and friends, they provide an “unofficial” story behind the narrative of colonialism and articulate thoughts resulting from their direct personal connection to American empire and its subjects. Their writings reflect their ambivalent position as agents of empire: considering themselves racially superior, these women are subordinate to the prevailing patriarchal order. While participating in the agenda of colonial expansion, they redefine traditional gender roles.

In those five years, Cuba was transformed from a Spanish colony struggling for independence to an occupied territory of the United States. This political transformation brought into direct confrontation two models of race relations: one Spanish, characterized by racial integration, and the other American, renowned for Jim Crow segregation. This essay examines the lived significance of this political transformation through interracial property transactions recorded in the notarial protocols of Cienfuegos. The findings suggest that the final war of independence provided opportunities for Afro-descendants to purchase prime properties within the official city bounds. Yet, with US intervention in 1898, a subtle but increasing marginalization of men and women of color from the market in urban property is evident.

Such publications revise and remediate the dominant romantic ideology of empire at the turn of the century, creating an imagined community of empire far different from that produced by the “correspondents’ war.” Revising the romantic paradigm into an alternative narrative of everyday habit, ordinary routine, and mundane desire, soldier-newspapers produce a flat account of empire that endows the project of empire-building with a sense of the mundane and the nonheroic.

Like other territories of the United States, Guam’s ambiguous legal status and the presence of native peoples, cultures, and histories signal the paradox of unincorporated territories that troubles the issues of belonging and identification as “American.” This essay takes up poet-scholar Craig Santos Perez’s work to assert the primacy of Indigenous Chamorro histories, languages, and cultures in understanding the island’s place in and out of the American Empire. Perez’s experimental, decolonial poetics fracture narratives of America as a benevolent force in the Pacific; of English as the only relevant language of the Mariana Islands and America; of Spanish and Catholic domination as a relic of the past; of environmental transformations wrought by the intimacies of empire; and of simplistic accounts of assimilation or resistance to militarization and colonialism. Furthermore, by foregrounding “Discontiguous States of America” as an organizing trope for comparative understanding of unincorporated territories in the Caribbean and Pacific, American Indian reservation spaces on the continent, and the outlying states of Alaska and Hawai‘i, this essay argues that transnational American Studies must look within its territorial possessions to Indigenous sovereignty claims as well as outside to global flows in order to offer a truly critical, transnational American Studies.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Craig Santos Perez"},{"word":"Guam"},{"word":"Indigenous"},{"word":"Chamorro"},{"word":"empire"},{"word":"imperialism"},{"word":"Transnational"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"SPECIAL FORUM: Globalization and American Literature","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/02f4v8m3","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Paul","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lai","name_suffix":"","institution":"St. Catherine University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-19T18:00:43-05:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-19T18:00:43-05:00","date_published":"2011-12-20T17:56:35-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42522/galley/31745/download/"}]},{"pk":42521,"title":"Staging Unincorporated Power: Richard Harding Davis and the Critique of Imperial News","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This essay contextualizes the work of war correspondent Richard Harding Davis within an evolving “imperial news apparatus” that would culminate in his reporting of the Spanish-American War.

Contrary to readings of Davis as an apologist for US imperialism, Trivedi contends that Davis understood how US imperial power relied on an information apparatus to communicate to an increasingly media-conscious American public through culture, that is, via familiar narratives, symbols, and objects—what Trivedi calls “imperial news.” The essay follows Davis’s development from his fictional representation of the new war correspondent in “The Reporter Who Made Himself King” to his own war correspondence before and after the Spanish-American War as collected in the memoirs \nA Year from a Reporter’s Notebook\n (1897), \nCuba in War Time\n (1897), and \nNotes of a War Correspondent\n (1912). Davis’s war correspondence and fictional work effectively \nstage\n US imperialism as “unincorporated power”: that is, as power reliant on a developing news-making apparatus that deploys particular discursive strategies to validate its political claims.

Through readings of fictional narratives that address the issue of racial and ethnic difference in both national contexts simultaneously, the author models a “double critique” framework for US–Chinese comparative literary studies.\nThe book approaches U.S. liberal multiculturalism and China’s ethnic policy as two competing multiculturalisms, one grounded primarily in a history of racial desegregation and the other in the legacies of a socialist revolution. Since the end of the Cold War, the two multiculturalisms have increasingly been brought into contact through translation and other forms of mediation. \nPluralist Universalism \ndemonstrates that a number of fictional narratives, including those commonly classified as Chinese, American, and Chinese American, have illuminated incongruities and connections between the ethno-racial politics of the two nations.\nThe “double critique” framework builds upon critical perspectives developed in Asian American studies and adjacent fields. The book brings to life an innovative vision of Asian American literary critique, even as it offers a unique intervention in ideas of ethnicity and race prevailing in both China and the United States in the post–Cold War era.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"multiculturalism"},{"word":"Comparative Multiculturalism"},{"word":"Asian American"},{"word":"Chinese"},{"word":"Post–Cold War"},{"word":"Literature"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"Forward","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0xw0g4z9","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Wen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Jin","name_suffix":"","institution":"Columbia University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-17T17:57:47-05:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-17T17:57:47-05:00","date_published":"2011-12-20T16:58:54-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42515/galley/31738/download/"}]},{"pk":42514,"title":"Excerpt from \nMilitarized Currents: Toward a Decolonized Future in Asia and the Pacific","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Foregrounding indigenous and feminist scholarship, this collection analyzes militarization as an extension of colonialism from the late twentieth to the twenty-first century in Asia and the Pacific. The contributors theorize the effects of militarization across former and current territories of Japan and the United States, demonstrating that the relationship between militarization and colonial subordination shapes bodies of memory, knowledge, and resistance.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Militarization"},{"word":"Colonialism"},{"word":"Asia"},{"word":"Pacific"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"Forward","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5jw4h66v","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Setsu","middle_name":"","last_name":"Shigematsu","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Riverside","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Keith","middle_name":"L.","last_name":"Camacho","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-17T17:55:17-05:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-17T17:55:17-05:00","date_published":"2011-12-20T16:58:49-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42514/galley/31737/download/"}]},{"pk":42513,"title":"Excerpt from \nDead Stars: American and Philippine Literary Perspectives on the American Colonization of the Philippines","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Dead Stars: American and Philippine Literary Perspectives on the American Colonization of the Philippines\n examines the American colonization of the Philippines from three distinct but related literary perspectives.

For Schultermandl, the text suggests that familial or national relationships built on generational and immigrant memory cannot really create conditions of solidarity or identification and are thus doomed to failure—either that, or what is “memory” must be transformed by “experience” and then be understood, what Schultermandl calls “belated memory.” Schultermandl offers an account of the failure of the narrative to provide for a bond between the generations of women—immigrant mothers and American-born daughters. This conceptual problem is represented by the novel’s end, where the overriding implication of the narrative is that in order to reconcile and occupy the identity of a Chinese American one must somehow be both Chinese and American, an experience of being that Schultermandl questions. Additionally, in not representing modern China or modern Chinese women, Schultermandl argues, the novel gives up an opportunity to create a “transnational solidarity” among women in favor of a national identity that supersedes the individual, who in Tan’s text becomes a mere stand-in for traditionally held ideological and national stereotypes.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Amy Tan"},{"word":"Transnational"},{"word":"memory"},{"word":"Chinese American"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"Reprise","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1ks1v1vj","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Silvia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schultermandl","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Graz","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-20T00:28:35-05:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-20T00:28:35-05:00","date_published":"2011-12-20T16:58:11-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42539/galley/31762/download/"}]},{"pk":42538,"title":"“A garden in the middle of the sea”: Henry James’s \nThe Aspern Papers\n and Transnational American Studies","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Nicole Waller’s study of Henry James’s \nThe Aspern Papers\n examines how conventional literary studies’ approaches (those that depend on biography and character analysis) may tether James’s work to a set of values that reinscribe the hierarchies that his narrative specifically sets adrift.

With their aesthetic and political life on a raft, the gay micro-communities inside Cuban America asserted their own islandic space, Lima observes, performing “takeovers” in and of parks and bars and beaches—creating a post-Habermasian sphere of public activism focused on private parts, saving themselves from AIDS, from the disaffection and disaffiliation of the right-wing Cuban immigrant community, and from the failure of their own yearning to belong, to be wanted, to be embodied as the figure of their compelling \nCubanidad\n. Against the hegemony of the invented collective politics of the sacrificing immigrants whose recognition of the queer side of being (of a being constituted by identity loss) is yet to come, Lima suggests a spectral return—a personal and transnational reckoning of those whose lives the dream of freedom drowned.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Cuban American"},{"word":"Cubanidad"},{"word":"Miami"},{"word":"South Beach"},{"word":"Drag"},{"word":"queer"},{"word":"Transnational"},{"word":"haunting"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"Reprise","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9ch96543","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Lázaro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lima","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Richmond","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-20T00:02:07-05:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-20T00:02:07-05:00","date_published":"2011-12-20T16:56:54-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42536/galley/31759/download/"}]},{"pk":42535,"title":"Reprise Editor's Note","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Reprise Editor's Note for \nJTAS\n 3.2","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Transnational American Studies"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"Reprise","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6956t348","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Morgan","name_suffix":"","institution":"Kennesaw State University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-19T23:53:45-05:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-19T23:53:45-05:00","date_published":"2011-12-20T16:56:22-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42535/galley/31758/download/"}]}]}
