Although accounts of how race (and class) punctuated the elimination of African American midwives are well documented,6 this article further explores how downplaying the racial privilege of white midwives, medical personnel, and other figures in African American midwives' narratives has problematic implications for a contemporary midwifery movement that prides itself on inclusivity and its benefit to all women. INFLUENCES ON THE CONTEMPORARY MOVEMENT FOR MIDWIVES The continued emphasis on the narrative accounts of African American midwives within the history of not only midwifery in the United States but also African American culture and life opens up possibilities for important discussions of race and the effects of a legacy of racism that still affects contemporary midwives in thei...

Ann E. Berthoff's Forming/Thinking/Writing presents reading and writing as pedagogically inseparable. It establishes a foundation for reading and writing in the ordinary activities of observing and naming the world. Here, Bruss examines the philosophical antecedents of Berthoff's work, especially her interests in Charles Sanders Pierce. He makes explicit the influence of Peirce upon Berthoff's body of work and traces the influences that helped to shape Peirce's ideas, which played a significant role in the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences in 1863.

The 'Alawis of Syria are part of the Shi'a stream; this has led to an alliance with Iran, the center of Shi'ite Islam. This alliance aggravated the oppositionist Syrian Muslim Brotherhood (MB), whose members have been in exile since 1982. According to them, the alliance is a stage in a Shi'ite scheme to take over the Sunni countries, including Syria. However, during the past year the MB has changed their strategy, and we are currently witnessing a rapprochement between the Brotherhood and Damascus.

The traditional legal definition of citizenship in the U.S. is linked to the granting of full membership and access to political, social, and civil rights by the government, yet there are numerous examples of these rights not being granted to all people equally (Hernández-Truyol, 2005; Johnson, 2002a; Hernández-Truyol and Hawk, 2005).\n Our analysis focused more on cultural citizenship, but the narratives of our participants highlight that legal citizenship is a reality that shapes one's access to education, employment, and safety. A clear link to how one's legal status in this country affords certain legal rights is revealed in statements such as that of the kindergartener, fearing her mother would be sent back to Mexico, or of the university student mentors who told us of the amount ...

In her analysis of the place of religion in Xicanisma, Ana Castillo says: Although the Catholic Church as an institution cannot, for a number of reasons, guide us as Mexican Amerindian women into the twenty-first century, we cannot make a blanket dismissal of Catholicism, either. Over thirty years later, after the ascent of the Religious Right to political power and the rhetoric of crusade and jihad after September 11, it is easy to assume that feminist politics must be secular politics.\n Where other feminist essayists identify the act of writing itself as a movement out of the mind-forged manacles of kyriarchy, Anzaldúa is more cautious, offering a record of spirit-experience only in fragments.
