Corrosion of Carbon Steel by a Thermophilic Sulfate-Reducing Consortium Enriched from Oilfield-Produced Waters
Authors: Okpala Gloria Ngozi , Voordouw Gerrit , Gieg Lisa M.
Published: December 2024

Corrosion of metal infrastructure due to microbial activity has been widely reported in many sectors and has been frequently studied under mesophilic conditions (<50°C). However, less is known about this degradation process at thermophilic (>50°C) temperatures that characterize many oil- and gas-producing operations. We used a thermophilic sulfate-reducing consortium (TSRM) enriched from offshore-produced water fluids to determine microbial corrosion of mild carbon steel at 60°C in the presence or absence of an organic electron donor (lactate or volatile fatty acids) and in the presence of riboflavin, a redox mediator previously reported to enhance microbial corrosion by pure isolates. Incubations of the TSRM consortium showed the highest corrosion rate in the absence of an organic electron donor, suggesting that the carbon steel itself served as an electron donor. Higher corrosion rates corresponded to increased numbers of localized pits formed. Scanning electron micrographs showed microbial cells with elongated filaments incubations when Fe0 served as an electron donor, potentially contributing to the direct uptake of electrons from iron. The addition of 20 ppm riboflavin did not enhance corrosion rates by the mixed TSRM consortium under the tested conditions. Microbial community analysis showed the TSRM culture to contain diverse anaerobic taxa and substantially distinct planktonic and coupon surface-attached communities. Overall, this study showed that thermophilic microbial communities containing sulfate-reducers can contribute to the corrosion of metal infrastructure operated or maintained at higher temperatures even in the absence of organic substrates, provided sulfate is present.
Perspective on “Diagnosing Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion: A State-of-the-Art Review,” B.J. Little, J.S. Lee, and R.I. Ray, Corrosion 62, 11 (2006): p. 1006-1017

Abstract: Central to all diagnostic strategies for microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) is the identification and enumeration of microorganisms, particularly bacteria. The shift from culture-based techniques to molecular microbiological methods for these procedures has increased the list of microbial species (including archaea) to which MIC is attributed but has not provided unambiguous data correlating corrosiveness to the size and/or composition of microbial populations. The following provides a state-of-the-art review of MIC diagnostics, including the possibility of correlating corrosiveness with specific extracellular metabolites. Microbiological testing requires informed sample collection, preservation and data interpretation. Currently, no single diagnostic test is conclusive for MIC; all diagnoses require multiple layers of supporting data besides microbiological data.

Deep Learning Approach for Detection of Phishing Attack to Strengthen Network Security
Authors: Alsubaie Hadeer , Althomali Rahaf , Alajmani Samah
Published: December 2024

Phishing attacks are one of the most aggressive vulnerabilities in cybersecurity networks, typically carried out through social engineering and URL obfuscation. Traditional detection methods struggle to combat advanced techniques applied. In this paper, a deep learning-based approach is proposed to increase the accuracy of phishing detection while reducing the number of false positives. Four models: CNN-BLSTM, SNN, Transformer, and DBN, are developed and evaluated on a phishing dataset that includes critical features such as URL structure, domain age, and presence of HTTPS. The other model, CNN-BLSTM, achieved 98.9% better accuracy, effectively linking URL sequences in space and time. It is found that although deep learning models have a significant improvement over traditional methods in detecting phishing attacks, the level of computational resources still prevents them from real-time applications. Further research includes hybrid models and adversarial approaches to improve state-ofthe-art and practical solutions to address phishing threats. This study highlights a new technological application to Internet security concerns, particularly in the area of combating phishing.
Improving Intrusion Detection System using the Combination of Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Dastanpour Amin , Farizani Amirabbas , Mahmood Raja Azlina Raja
Published: December 2024

One of the essential issues in network-based systems is a fault attack which is caused by intrusion. It is the responsibility of intrusion detection to provide capabilities such as adaptation, fault tolerance, high computational speed, and error resilience in the face of noisy information. Thus, the construction of an efficient intrusion detection model is highly appreciated to increase the detection rates as well as to decrease false detection. Currently, researchers are more focusing on abnormal behaviour of network as this system can easily recognize new attacks without updating the daily recognized databases. However, the capability of current developing machine learning algorithms suffers from inefficient use of intrusion detection particularly once it involved some huge datasets of irrelevant and redundant features. The main objective of this thesis is to achieve the higher detection rate with lower false detection for attack recognition in order to support efficient application of intrusion detection. To achieve this goal, a new machine learning model was designed and developed to provide intelligent recognition with new attack patterns. New proposed and improved algorithm GA-ANN is constructed to support the proof of concept. For evaluation, five datasets namely KDD CUP 99 from the online data repositories are used in the experiment. In the above scenarios, GA-ANN provides the highest detection rate for pattern recognition which was 98.98% based on 18 selected features. This means that the proposed IDS model is significant and increases the network security.

Los géneros en el quechua: un estudio desde la teoría del discurso
Authors: Tacuri Morocco Harold Frank
Published: December 2024

En el presente artículo de revisión, se desarrolló temas sobre “los géneros en el quechua”, entendida en primer término como un hecho sociocultural y discursivo. Este planteamiento parte de la consideración de que la conversación es el primer género o proto-género del que derivan todos los otros y del que toman la característica dialógica propia de todo discurso, ya sea oral o escrito. El cuento, la leyenda, el mito, la fábula, la canción, la adivinanza, entre otros, son algunos de los géneros que se presentan en el quechua. Los modos de organizar un discurso dentro de los géneros no son ajenos a ello, debido a que la narración, la descripción, la explicación, la argumentación y el diálogo se presentan dentro de los géneros en el quechua. Porque las propiedades «literarias» se encuentran también fuera de la literatura, desde los juegos de palabras y la canción infantil hasta la meditación filosófica. En nuestros días, seguir insistiendo en la cuestión de los “géneros” puede parecer un poco ocioso y hasta anacrónico. Todos los intelectuales saben que en la época del clasicismo existían baladas, odas, sonetos, tragedias y comedias; pero ¿y en la actualidad? Quizás la pregunta clave que dé inicio a este trabajo es: ¿de dónde vienen los géneros? Pues bien, simplemente de otros géneros. Un nuevo género siempre es la trasformación de uno o varios géneros antiguos: ya sea por inversión, desplazamiento o combinación. Un «texto» de hoy, esto también, en uno de sus sentidos, es un género. Por tal motivo, dando un sentido más amplio de este tema tenemos que entender que el término «texto», es sinónimo de discurso, y «género» como clases.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools in Higher Education: A Moral Compass for the Future?
Authors: Pramjeeth Shamola , Ramgovind Priya
Published: December 2024

Higher education is experiencing a paradigm shift with the advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and large language models. This transformative approach is revolutionising education and the world of work and, if harnessed correctly, has the propensity to shape future minds. The study sought to understand academics' and teaching and learning (TandL) specialists' perceptions at a private higher education institution (PHEI) in South Africa (SA) regarding the ethical implications of using Generative AI tools in TandL prior to the institution taking a formal stance on the use of these tools. This qualitative exploratory study purposively selected 59 academics, researchers and TandL specialists across nine delivery sites at a PHEI in South Africa. Data was collected anonymously using an open-ended online questionnaire, and thematic analysis was performed. Five key themes emerged from the data: Academic integrity while maintaining agility; monitoring responsible ethical use and investments; protection of privacy; accessibility and equality and tools and systems for AI identification. The study also highlights the importance of considering the moral implications of Generative AI in education and how it can be used to shape the future of learning. This study contributes to the limited literature available on the use of AI in higher education TandL and its ethical implications in the global south.

Seeing Red
Authors: Witgen Michael John
Published: December 2024

Against long odds, the Anishinaabeg resisted removal, retaining thousands of acres of their homeland in what is now Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Their success rested partly on their roles as sellers of natural resources and buyers of trade goods, which made them key players in the political economy of plunder that drove white settlement and U.S. development in the Old Northwest. But, as Michael Witgen demonstrates, the credit for Native persistence rested with the Anishinaabeg themselves. Outnumbering white settlers well into the nineteenth century, they leveraged their political savvy to advance a dual citizenship that enabled mixed-race tribal members to lay claim to a place in U.S. civil society. Telling the stories of mixed-race traders and missionaries, tribal leaders and territorial governors, Witgen challenges our assumptions about the inevitability of U.S. expansion. Deeply researched and passionately written, Seeing Red will command attention from readers who are invested in the enduring issues of equality, equity, and national belonging at its core.
Introduction
Authors: Witgen Michael John
Published: December 2024

The 1836 Treaty of Washington, one of many treaties that the United States negotiated with the Indigenous nations of the Northwest Territory, represented a massive transfer of wealth from Native peoples to white American settlers that in turn created an enormous infusion of money into the regional economy. The treaty process and resulting land cessions, annuity payments, and supply of goods and provisions to Native negotiators created a political economy of plunder. Additionally, the treaty rendered the political and social status of “half-breed” Native peoples living in the Northwest Territory ambiguous. The mixed-race Anishinaabeg leveraged this ambiguity and insisted on an identity that was rooted in the social worlds of both Indigenous and white people (what would now be recognized as dual citizenship). This attempt to shape their own history, to work the coercive system designed to rob them of all that they owned so that they could remain in their homeland, highlights a constant, if inconsistent, dialectic between erasure and inclusion in the nineteenth-century United States.
Indigenous Land and Black Lives The Politics of Exclusion and Privilege in the Old Northwest
Authors: Witgen Michael John
Published: December 2024

The 1842 case of Jeffries v. Ankeny denied the voting rights of Parker Jefferies because he was deemed to be “a person of color,” arguing that his mixed-race identity prohibited him, like all Indigenous persons, from transitioning from savage to civilized member of the U.S. Republic. This case was representative of a myriad of laws and treaties aimed at excluding Black and Native peoples from the process of self-government, with the hope that they would thus be compelled to leave to avoid political subjugation. For white settlers moving into the Northwest Territory, it was simply unthinkable to imagine living with free Blacks and Natives who had rights equal to their own. For free Blacks, political negotiations surrounding their racial identity were focused on citizenship and privileges. For the Anishinaabeg, negotiations about race also centered on land rights. Mixed-race Native peoples, asserting a dual citizenship as Indian and American, struggled to claim both land rights and the privileges of citizenship by pursuing so-called half-breed annuities. These claims represented an amalgamation of Anishinaabe notions of kinship, identity, and belonging with evolving ideas about race and natural law ideology.
Conclusion
Authors: Witgen Michael John
Published: December 2024

On February 6, 1850, President Zachary Taylor issued an executive order revoking the rights of the Anishinaabe people to continue living on lands ceded to the United States under the Treaty of Saint Peters and the Treaty of La Pointe. This removal was a deadly manifestation of the political economy of plunder, forcing the region’s Native population to relocate to the newly created territory of Minnesota. In response, the ogimaa Gichi-Bizhiki (The Great Buffalo), the principal leader of the Lake Superior Ojibweg, embarked on a journey to Washington, D.C., after the ogimaag’s letter of petition to the commissioner of Indian affairs was ignored.
Fragmentation
Authors: Carter Eric D.

This chapter traces the development of the social medicine milieu and its political consequences, from the 1930s through the “classic” Perón era from 1945 to 1955. During this period, a move towards an ambitious universal health care system was stymied, in large part, by competing interests within the Peronist governing regime. Newly empowered trade unions secured health insurance and other amenities, preventing a full socialization of medicine. Core Peronist supporters, including women’s organizations, chafed at the top-down agenda of national health ministers, whose goal seemed to be extending the domain of scientific knowledge (especially biomedicine) into the realms of family, procreation, sexual conduct, and nutrition. The medical profession, meanwhile, either offered active or passive resistance to many of the gestures towards centralization of health services of the Perón government. Organized as a labor union, medical doctors would provide the most stubborn opposition to state control of the health sector.
Hiatus
Authors: Carter Eric D.
Published: December 2024

This chapter traces the temporary decline of social medicine in Latin America in the 1950s and 1960s to two forces: the rise of a new and powerful international development apparatus that incorporated new social science approaches that left little space for social medicine ideas and praxis in the realm of public health, as exemplified by PAHO director Abraham Horwitz and the OPS/CENDES program; and, a change in the consciousness of the medical profession in Latin America, specifically a retrenchment to defend professional and class interests, which doctors perceived as under threat from an expanding welfare state. The chapter also discusses Josué de Castro, a Brazilian doctor and polymath social scientist, whose integrative social medicine perspective became increasingly unfashionable as he became more politically radicalized.
Conspicuously Consuming Mate in Urban Argentina and Uruguay, 1960s–2000s
Authors: Pite Rebekah E.
Published: December 2024

This chapter tells the story of the symbolic place of mate drinking during the tumultuous decades of the 1960s through the 2000s, when intensified political struggles accompanied a new era of modernization and urbanization. In the 1960s, many young people around the world dreamed of and fought for a more equal world order. As the Cold War heated up and the U.S. supported what it labelled “counterinsurgency” efforts in Latin America, right-wing military dictatorships seized power across the Southern Cone. With the democratic restoration of the 1980s, South Americans reclaimed their rights as citizens and re-entered public spaces. In Uruguayan and Argentine cities, a growing number brought their mate and thermos with them, contributing to the trend of conspicuous consumption in Uruguay and reversing the trend of waning consumption in Argentina. In step with the growing number of genres in which mate appeared, this chapter considers the visual culture of contemporary artwork, photographs, and television advertisements. It also analyzes what contemporaries did or did not see in everyday life, such as the presence or absence of the thermos, which allowed late twentieth-century mate drinkers to bring their hot water and mate ritual into the city streets.
Pyrrhic Victories
Authors: Swanson Drew A.
Published: December 2024

The third chapter begins with a description of the importance of reputation in Reconstruction debates, which regularly intertwined the personal with the political, including in perceptions of John Stephens. It then explores the emergence of the local Ku Klux Klan, headed by John Lea, a member of a prominent Caswell family. Klan activities contributed to a growing wave of violence, characterized by acts and fears of arson, which carried great symbolic power in an agrarian landscape and in the wake of a destructive war in which federal troops had used to torch as a weapon against Confederate resistance. The assassination of Stephens in the Caswell County Courthouse in 1870 by Klansmen served as the culmination of the building terror.
Purgatory
Authors: Swanson Drew A.
Published: December 2024

Chapter 4 covers the turmoil that followed Stephens’s assassination. A futile initial investigation led Governor Holden to declare martial law and order the arrest of suspected Klansmen in Caswell and Alamance counties, in a period that came to be known as the Kirk-Holden War. The unrest was exacerbated by the state’s partisan newspapers, which waged verbal war while endlessly speculating about who killed Stephens. The tumult culminated in a preliminary trial of three suspected conspirators in Raleigh. Proceedings against these men were eventually dropped, and the aftermath of Holden’s failed crusade to stamp out insurrection led to his impeachment and the eventual crumbling of the Reconstruction efforts in North Carolina.
Pretext
Authors: Swanson Drew A.
Published: December 2024

This chapter explores several waves of public memory that shaped perceptions of North Carolina’s Reconstruction period in the decades following Governor Holden’s impeachment. Hearings before a Congressional Joint Committee established to investigate the actions of the Ku Klux Klan produced national perceptions of local lawlessness. Writers of fiction—most famously novelist, lawyer, and editor Albion Tourgée—further shaped popular understandings of the state’s Reconstruction era. The identities of Stephens’s killers remained somewhat mysterious, even as partial confessions from Conservatives like Frank Wiley and Felix Roan revealed more details of the crime. By the early twentieth century, professional historians, especially students trained by Columbia University professor William Dunning, were increasingly labeling Reconstruction an economic, political, and racial “tragedy.” This Dunning School interpretation was led in North Carolina by Joseph Grégoire de Roulhac Hamilton, and was disseminated through academic histories, school textbooks, civic speeches, and public monuments.

Benjamin set up a private medical practice in New York and incorporated glandular therapies into patient care.
We Pursue Our Magic
Authors: Magloire Marina
Published: December 2024

Drawing on the collected archives of distinguished twentieth-century Black woman writers such as Lucille Clifton, Audre Lorde, Toni Cade Bambara, Lorraine Hansberry, and others, Marina Magloire traces a new history of Black feminist thought in relation to Afro-diasporic religion. Beginning in the 1930s with the pathbreaking ethnographic work of Katherine Dunham and Zora Neale Hurston in Haiti and ending with the present-day popularity of Afro-diasporic spiritual practices among Black women, she offers an alternative genealogy of Black feminism, characterized by its desire to reconnect with ancestrally centered religions like Vodou. Magloire reveals the tension, discomfort, and doubt at the heart of each woman’s efforts to connect with ancestral spiritual practices. These revered writers are often regarded as unchanging monuments to Black womanhood, but Magloire argues that their feminism is rooted less in self-empowerment than in a fluid pursuit of community despite the inevitable conflicts wrought by racial capitalism. The subjects of this book all model a nuanced Black feminist praxis grounded in the difficult work of community building between Black women across barriers of class, culture, and time.
Girls’ Talk
Authors: Magloire Marina
Published: December 2024

The second chapter also centers Haiti as a space that allows black American women to interrogate their most commonly held values and mores, this time manifested in the friendship of playwright Lorraine Hansberry and singer Nina Simone, both queer women who were publicly heterosexual. I argue that both artists sublimated queer desires that they deemed socially inappropriate into their mutual interest in the history of revolutions across the diaspora, which contributed to the radical quality of their friendship—as Simone notes on her relationship with Hansberry, “We never talked about men or clothes or other such inconsequential things when we got together. It was always Marx, Lenin, and revolution—real girls’ talk.” In Simone’s 1974 album It is Finished and Hansberry’s posthumously published play fragment, Toussaint, traces of the two women’s revolutionary girls’ talk manifests in their shared construction of the Caribbean as a space of non-normativity fluidity that did not yet exist in their America. In the album and the play, Simone and Hansberry theorize the possibility of future revolutions that break down the limitations of prescriptive gender roles and compulsory heterosexuality.

Earning Their Wings
Authors: Myers Sarah Parry
Published: December 2024

Established by the Army Air Force in 1943, the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program opened to civilian women with a pilot's license who could afford to pay for their own transportation, training, and uniforms. Despite their highly developed skill set, rigorous training, and often dangerous work, the women of WASP were not granted military status until 1977, denied over three decades of Army Air Force benefits as well as the honor and respect given to male and female World War II veterans of other branches. Sarah Parry Myers not only offers a history of this short-lived program but considers its long-term consequences for the women who participated and subsequent generations of servicewomen and activists. Myers shows us how those in the WASP program bonded through their training, living together in barracks, sharing the dangers of risky flights, and struggling to be recognized as military personnel, and the friendships they forged lasted well after the Army Air Force dissolved the program. Despite the WASP program's short duration, its fliers formed activist networks and spent the next thirty years lobbying for recognition as veterans. Their efforts were finally recognized when President Jimmy Carter signed a bill into law granting WASP participants retroactive veteran status, entitling them to military benefits and burials.
I Was Happiest in the Sky
Authors: Myers Sarah Parry
Published: December 2024

In the 1920s and 1930s, aviation offered opportunities for early women aviators who viewed the skies as a space of liberation and equality. In the decades before the war, women pilots sold the safely of flight to the American public. Most of the WASP were inspired by these early aviators and entertainers, although some worked in air shows before joining the WASP. These women epitomized a 1920s modern or new woman for their pursuit of adventure, liberation, and technology. Two of these early female barnstormers, Nancy Love and Jaqueline Cochran, started the programs that became the WASP. A New Deal government program, the Civilian Pilot Training Program, allowed more women to get their pilot’s licenses and eventually fly for the Army Air Force. These women were eager to use their aviation skills professionally and in a patriotic capacity.
Epilogue
Authors: Myers Sarah Parry
Published: December 2024

The story of the WASP has ramifications for understanding today’s issues of women’s equality and citizenship in U.S. society and the U.S. military. The lifting of the Combat Exclusion Policy and the first female graduates from Army Ranger School illuminates that military women still face the same stereotypical concerns over issues of protection, sexuality, and their ability to meet specific standards. Women are still battling against gendered assumptions, sexual harassment, and discrimination, while their rights to military spaces, including combat, elite combat forces, and even burial at Arlington National Cemetery, are in a constant state of experimentation and negotiation. Women are still a minority in civilian and military aviation and struggle with veteran recognition.
Introduction
Authors: Smith II Bobby J.
Published: December 2024

The Introduction presents the book’s contributions, interventions, and methods, including its theoretical framework of food power politics which is defined as any set of interactions during times of conflict, whether formal or informal, between social actors who strategically use food in oppressive or emancipatory ways to mitigate the impact of the conflict. It argues that the food story of the Mississippi civil rights movement in the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta region of Mississippi provides a quintessential perspective on understanding food power politics in Black life. This food story brings into focus how food was weaponized against Black people during the civil rights movement and how they fought back, creating their own food systems that generated emancipatory food power—a process that enabled them to counter-weaponize food through emancipatory terms. At the same time, Black communities and activists expanded the meaning of civil rights to address food as integral to sociopolitical and economic conditions. Such historical power struggles over food illuminate a pathway for understanding how food is a source of hope for Black youth today in the Delta who are designing food systems that cultivate social change and ensure brighter food futures for all. Futures that will be sustainable, equitable, and inclusive.
Muddy Ground

In early North America, carrying watercraft—usually canoes—and supplies across paths connecting one body of water to another was essential in the establishment of both Indigenous and European mobility in the continent’s interior. The Chicago portage, a network of overland canoe routes that connected the Great Lakes and Mississippi watersheds, grew into a crossroads of interaction as Indigenous and European people vied for its control during early contact and colonization. John William Nelson charts the many peoples that traversed and sought power along Chicago’s portage paths from the seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries, including Indigenous Illinois traders, French explorers, Jesuit missionaries, Meskwaki warriors, British officers, Anishinaabe headmen, and American settlers. Nelson compellingly demonstrates that even deep within the interior, power relations fluctuated based on the control of waterways and local environmental knowledge.Pushing beyond political and cultural explanations for Indigenous-European relations in the borderlands of North America, Nelson places environmental and geographic realities at the center of the history of Indigenous Chicago, offering a new explanation for how the United States gained control of the North American interior through a two-pronged subjugation of both the landscapes and peoples of the continent.

Floodgates
Authors: Nelson John William
Published: December 2024

After 1815, as this chapter shows, U.S officials in the west would find new energy, and new financial backing, from federal policies of “internal improvements” which aimed to overhaul, or in many cases, create a national network of infrastructure. At the national level, this impulse of the early republic aimed to unite the country into one coherent network of transportation, agriculture, and commerce, bridging sectional divides and strengthening the overall political economy of the union. But in the Great Lakes region, the fervor for infrastructure became wrapped up in the same settler colonial impulses to bring control to a disorienting borderland in which the economy still revolved around indigenous transportation systems and Native power. This chapter narrates how in the years after the War of 1812, American officials would look to public works and internal improvements as a new solution to thwart this old balance of power that favored intercultural exchange and Indigenous authority at places like Chicago. At Chicago, through efforts of canal building, swamp drainages, surveys, bridgeworks, and harbor improvements, American authorities overhauled the geography that had given local Anishinaabeg so much power and set the stage for land cession treaties and Indian Removal by the 1830s.
Closings

The epilogue begins with Frederick Jackson Turner’s address at Chicago’s Columbian Exposition in 1893, in which he outlined the parameters of his familiar “Frontier Thesis.” Contextualizing Turner’s understanding of the environmental and geographic components of the region, the epilogue examines how his own background shaped his broader thesis in surprising ways. By examining what about Turner’s ideas have been so pervasive, the epilogue proposes ways historians can overcome his views of continental history through the antidote of local history at sites like Chicago—a space that challenges his narrative. The epilogue then juxtaposes the familiar “frontier thesis” with another prognosticator at Chicago’s World’s Fair that year—Simon Pokagon, a member of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomis, who ventured to Chicago in 1893 to contest the prevailing narrative of European domination and American conquest. Pokagon’s rebuke—part lament for a ruined landscape, part challenge to audiences that assumed Native people had vanished—offered alternative interpretations of both Indigenous persistence and its relationship to environmental justice. This Indigenous perspective is all the more relevant as the epilogue concludes by considering Chicago’s many current environmental crises brought on by the “progress” of industrialization, urbanization, and human-induced climate change in the modern era.
Conclusion

The conclusion examines how themes from sexual fluidity to alternative forms of kinship are just some of the central contributions of Interwar era Black lady lovers to modern queer culture and life for American women more broadly. It notes that the Great Depression ushered in a more repressive era, but Black lady lovers nonetheless sought to fashion the relationships they desired. The conclusion ends with a discussion of the rise of gender differentiated roles in postwar working-class lesbian bar culture, often referred to as butch/femme or stud/femme, and how the social worlds created by Black lady lovers in the Interwar era helped influence the next generation of queer women.
Mothering in Historical Black Agrarian Pedagogies
Authors: Tyler Shakara
Published: December 2024

This chapter focuses on the impact of mothering and othermothering in Black agrarianism, pedagogical thought, praxis, and social movement. The mothering of Black agrarian pedagogies illuminates the unconditional nurturance and creative resistance endowed by the spirit of mothers and “community othermothers” who creatively crafted Black agrarian educational environments based on responding to felt community needs. This chapter highlights how the “community othermother role” is reflected in these selective Black agrarian pedagogies taking place during the early to late 20th century. The author outlines 4 institutions: the “Negro” Farm Home Demonstration in Florida, the Freedom Quilting Bee, the Black Panther Party and Freedom Farm Cooperative. The author positions mothering as central to Black agrarian pedagogies, where a group of people, organized institutions, organizations, and initiatives teach and learn with one another to pursue racial empowerment and self-reliance.
Pedro Goes to Confederateland
Authors: Márquez Cecilia
Published: December 2024

Chapter 2 looks to South of the Border, a Mexican-themed rest stop opened in 1949 and situated between North and South Carolina. Following the creation of the site, its mascot, Pedro, and the eventual construction of “Confederateland” at South of the Border, this chapter examines how white southerners used and transformed national scripts about Latinos as a way to negotiate their anxieties about the swelling activism across the South that would become the Civil Rights Movement, and ultimately end Jim Crow.
Reciprocal Mobilities
Authors: Dizon Mark
Published: December 2024

Throughout the eighteenth century, independent Indigenous people from the borderlands of the Philippines visited the centers of Spanish colonial rule in the archipelago. Their travels are the counternarratives to one-dimensional stories of Spanish conquest of, and Indigenous resistance in, interior frontiers. Indigenous inhabitants on the island of Luzon constantly moved about—visiting allies and launching raids—and thus shaped history in the process. Their mobility allows us to glimpse their agency in colonial interactions in the early modern period. The landscape contains the traces of how they moved as well as how they channeled and impeded mobility in the borderlands. Mark Dizon views the colonial interactions in Philippine borderlands through the lens of reciprocal mobilities. Spanish mobilities of conquests and conversions had their counterpart in Indigenous visits and ambushes. Colonial encounters were not isolated individual events but rather a connected web of approaches, rebuffs, rapprochements, and dispersals. They took place not only in the exploration of remote forests and mountains but also in conjunction with Indigenous travels to colonial cities like Manila. Indigenous people of the borderlands were not immobile, timeless actors; they created history in their wake as they journeyed through the borderlands and beyond.

Introdução: A hanseníase é uma doença crônica infectocontagiosa causada pelo Mycobacterium leprae, caracterizada pela sua capacidade de afetar a pele e os nervos periféricos. A transmissão ocorre principalmente pelo contato frequente com pessoas infectadas que ainda não iniciaram o tratamento adequado e locais aglomerados com circulação de ar limitada e contribuindo com propagação da enfermidade na qual mantém-se como uma relevante questão de saúde pública de alcance global, particularmente prevalente em regiões tropicais e entre comunidades socioeconomicamente desfavorecidas. O enfermeiro tem um papel significativo em todas as fases do processo, desde o diagnóstico até a conclusão ou, lamentavelmente, o abandono do tratamento da hanseníase, um dos maiores desafios enfrentados por responsabilidade da forte resistência dos pacientes em aderir ao tratamento e a relutância de seus entes queridos representam obstáculos significativos. Objetivo: Identificar através da literatura o quanto o enfermeiro é relevante no tratamento da hanseníase. MEtodologia: O presente estudo consiste em uma revisão integrativa da literatura na qual a coleta de dados foi realizada, mediante o acesso às bases de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF)  e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), mediante a aplicação dos descritores em ciências da saúde (DeCS): Hanseníase, saúde pública e atenção primária à saúde. Quanto aos critérios de inclusão, foram considerados os seguintes parâmetros: artigos publicados no período entre 2019 e 2024, artigos disponíveis em português, espanhol e inglês gratuitamente, que abordaram a temática de maneira abrangente e estivessem integralmente acessíveis. Foram excluídos os artigos que não estavam em consonância com o escopo da pesquisa, assim como aqueles que se apresentaram incompletos e duplicados em múltiplas bases de dados. Resultados e discussão: É fundamental o diagnóstico precoce da hanseníase para evitar o abandono do tratamento e modificações físicas. Portanto, o profissional de enfermagem possui uma responsabilidade imensa, na qual deve avaliar todas as lesões e também é responsável por  desenvolver e implementar ações e estratégias, para impedir o abandono do tratamento. Conclusão: O enfermeiro deve estar altamente qualificado e capacitado para identificar e avaliar um indivíduo com hanseníase e passar para ele as orientações e informações corretas sobre o tratamento.
