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...

According to the consensus established by the secondary literature, Foucault's early and middle work culminates in a kind of totalizing theoretical cage (of which "discipline" is the highest manifestation) that in turn constituted a kind of crisis or dead-end for Foucault's thinking by the mid1 970s __ Foucault's late work performs a 1 80-degree turn away from the (too- totalizing and demoralizing) "power" discourse of the early and mid1 970s and culminated in a renewed appreciation of the Enlightenment subject, the ethical arts of the self, and resistance to normalized totalization through individual action.3 What is especially notable about this thesis is that it cleaves Foucault's corpus in two, definitively separating the parts as having opposing interests and formulations. In work...

Nahua" does not refer to any one indigenous ethnic group, but I use it to refer "to the Nahuatl-speaking peoples of Postclassic [C.E. 900-1521] highland central Mexico," including the Mexica (Aztecs) who were the dominating power at the time of the colonial encounter and contemporary peoples who trace their genealogies to these groups.3 Tonantzin forms part of the story of "transculturation," that is, of cultural loss, cultural persistence, and the creation of hybrid cultural forms mediated through power relations in sixteenth-century Mesoamerica.4 However, although the construction of Malinche as Guadalupe's "monstrous double" has been widely discussed, there have been fewer attempts to analyze the significance of Tonantzin as Guadalupe's bruja-ized (witched) Other in colonial discour...

What is the challenge which psychoanalysis poses to philosophy? Traditionally the assumption is made that psychoanalysis needs philosophy to provide its foundation. MerleauPonty, for example, was of the opinion that psychoanalysis contains an implicit philosophy that, hidden from view by the scientistic presuppositions of its founder, can only be formulated adequately by phenomenology. The insights of psychoanalysis must be translated into the language of phenomenology. Only then can they reveal their truth.1 In so doing, do we not run the risk of reducing psychoanalysis all too easily to well known philosophical topics, and thereby run the risk of avoiding a genuine confrontation and debate? Regardless of the extent to which psychoanalysis may need philosophy, must we not first ask wha...
