Singing about a (Liturgical) Revolution
Authors: Alonso Antonio Eduardo
Published: January 2022

This fragment offers a close reading of the hymnals of the author’s childhood in a way that takes seriously both their commodification and their theological signifance. It shows how the liturgical reforms set in motion by the Second Vatican Council created a new market for religious goods. As in any new market, competition led to innovation in content, products, and packaging that ultimately led to the transformation of the hymnal into a commodity. And yet that commodification, argues the author, does not drain hymnals of their theological significance. Through reflection on particular hymnals of personal significance to the author, he argues that in and in spite of their commodification, they never ceased to be a means of God’s grace.
The Limits of Eucharistic Resistance
Authors: Alonso Antonio Eduardo
Published: January 2022

This chapter argues that consumer culture lays bare the empirical and the theological limits of claims about how the Eucharist shapes resistance to culture in general and consumer culture in particular. It shows the ways in which a dominant strand in twentieth-century liturgical theology anticipated convictions about the formative nature of the Eucharist that often dominate contemporary reflection on consumer culture. Absent empirical evidence, some liturgical theologians turned to the social sciences—especially the field of ritual studies—to verify their claims. But a circular logic constrains much of this social scientific reflection on the liturgy, merely confirming assumptions about the formative potential of the Eucharist with which the scholars began; empirical claims are left unverified by empirical evidence. But when the Eucharist is pressed toward concrete ethical ends, it is caught up in a logic that instrumentalizes it. This chapter argues that pressing Eucharistic practice into the service of cultural resistance limits our conception of the activity of God at work in the Eucharist. This logic reveals a new inversion of an old theme about the activity of grace in the sacraments: ex opere operato reappears under the sign of ethics.
Boundaries Are for Sissies: Violation in Jane Gallop and Henry James
Authors: Ashtor Gila
Published: January 2022

This chapter interrogates the tension between protecting sexual freedom and developing a paradigm of sexual vulnerability. In keeping with its abiding commitment to “antinormativity,” defiance and “opposition to straight culture,” queer studies consistently measures the rigor of its radical critiques by advertising their repudiation of the putative “lines” distinguishing the normal from not-normal in social-psychic life. Perhaps nowhere is the operation of this logic more vividly and vigorously defended than in the field’s approach to childhood sexuality and, in particular, to questions pertaining to sexual innocence and violation. Jane Gallop’s Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment (1997), a manifesto against the ideological underpinnings of sexual harassment laws and its deleterious assault on feminism and sexual freedom—through an account of her own real-life defense against accusations of sexual harassment by two graduate students—offers an early and sensational engagement with these questions. This chapter reads Gallop’s text alongside Henry James’ short story, “The Pupil,” in which a precocious young boy develops an intimate connection to his older male teacher. This chapter looks at how Jean Laplanche’s “general theory of seduction” provides a new rubric for distinguishing the fantasy of childhood innocence from the reality of asymmetrical sexual development.
Creating Worlds
Authors: Puett Michael J.
Published: January 2022

This article explores debates in classical China concerning concepts, experience, and interpretation. I argue that these debates challenge some of our dominant theoretical assumptions, and I go on to argue that an engagement with this material opens up a number of fascinating questions for anthropological theory in general.
The Life Course of Concepts
Authors: Jackson Michael D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter approaches the question of our relation to concepts from the standpoint of attachment theory, arguing that the loss of a concept, loved one, physical ability, faith or fortune, home or homeland, are mourned in much the same way. Through an account of separation anxiety in fieldwork and examples from the anthropology of religion, it explores the pragmatic and existential value of concepts, images, and quasi-human beings such as djinn, spirits, witches, and divinities (all of which it places on a par) in giving form to inchoate experience and helping human beings cope with the exigencies and uncertainties of everyday life.
Conclusion
Authors: Chudakova Tatiana
Published: January 2022

The conclusion returns to some of the questions the book leaves open-ended. It revisits Tibetan medicine’s relationship with post-socialist embodiments, reflecting on the restructuring of bodies and selves in relation to the dramatic social changes of post-socialist reforms. It also returns to the practical contingencies of Tibetan medicine in Russia—its dubious legal status, its entanglements with both medical infrastructures and labor markets, its complicated relationship to the marketization of medical care more generally, and its pharmaceutical contingencies. Finally, it juxtaposes the popularization of esotericism and traditional medicine and its challenges to official histories of Soviet rationalist progress and territorial control, with the changes that have affected practitioners and patients after the economic recession hit Russia in 2016.
Not for Myself Alone
Authors: Bidlack Bede Benjamin
Published: January 2022

This chapter puts Elizabeth Johnson’s Creation and the Cross in conversation with Numinous Treasure Daoism and the traditions that flow from it. The comparison yields a theology of penance that fills the void left by Johnson’s accompaniment interpretation of the cross. The proposal is that penance is a necessary response to sin by the Christian who participates in the voluntary suffering of Christ. Penance is not limited to the cross (penance of diminishment) but includes participating in the atoning activities of Christ’s ministry (penance of growth). These lead to atonement which is a reconciliation with the Divine Will. The comparison also points to the radically social dimension of penance: Penance is not performed for the penitent alone, but for the entire cosmos.
Alternative and “Proto-Anarchist” Political Theologies
Authors: Džalto Davor
Published: January 2022

In this chapter the author explores alternative theological approaches to the socio-political that one can find in the Orthodox tradition. Going back to the New Testament texts, Church fathers as well as particular phenomena such as monastic life or “holy fools,” the author points to the existence of alternative narratives that are much closer to “anarchism” as a tendency than to the traditional “symphonic” models of organizing/articulating the socio-political sphere.
Something is Rotten in this Reality of Ours
Authors: Džalto Davor
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores the ontic foundations of human existence in history which manifests itself as a necessity. The author points out that Christian understanding of the historical process is paradoxical, since, on the one hand, Christianity affirms the world we live in, and our existence in history, as something basically “good.” On the other hand, Christianity acknowledges the limitations of this reality in which we live and recognizes the distorted and incomplete way in which the reality (we ordinarily experience) exists. The mode of our existence “here” and “now” prevents us—as well as other beings in the universe—from living the fullness of life. It prevents us from being ontically true.
“This World” and the Individualized Mode of Existence
Authors: Džalto Davor
Published: January 2022

In this chapter the author develops his analysis of the concept of “this world,” which is understood as a specific existential logic manifested as the individualized mode of existence. That means that the primary characteristic of “this world” is existence as necessity. “This world” is thus contrasted to the “world” as simply a designation of the entirety of God’s creation.
Forgetting to Love: Problems of Praise in Herbert's “The Flower”
Authors: Kuzner James
Published: January 2022

This chapter dwells on George Herbert’s “The Flower” and on how its speaker can love and praise God. Writing of praise and doubt, Stanley Cavell remarks that the problem of skepticism is partly a problem of finding an object that one can praise, a search that certainly occurs in “The Flower.” While Herbert’s speaker seeks God as that object, his own memory impedes him, making him question God’s goodness and forcing him not only to abandon forms of remembering that Herbert’s sources—from psalmists to theologians—employ so as to rise to praise, but also to use form in order to forget. The chapter’s conclusion compares Herbert’s poem with another strange praise poem, Paul Celan’s “Psalm.” There, I claim that if Cavell sees praise as signalling a triumph over doubt, “The Flower” shows, as only verse can, how praise and doubt accompany each other, using doubt to keep praise at a distance from both psalmic theology and skeptical philosophy.
Complex Truth
Authors: MacKendrick Karmen
Published: January 2022

This chapter challenges two points that might seem to be common sensical. First, that matter and divinity are clearly distinct, respectively the subjects of science and false stories. Second, that human reason can clear up the falsehoods, which we can identify with myth. This challenge works through a reading of the ways that the origin stories of philosophy and science are usually brought together, both in opposition to poetry and theology. In no case, however, is mythic thinking wholly removed from philosophical thinking. What might seem to be a flaw turns out to be an enriching complication. The chapter weaves together theories of matter and philosophical developments beginning with the Greek philosopher Thales and continuing into the present. What emerges is jointly a vision of matter as animate and divine and a use of myth as a way of telling a truth that is not identical with fact, but closer to the truth of poetry and music. This is not in opposition to science, nor a part of it, but a supplement. The importance of mythic truth will be central to the rest of the chapters, which will develop different versions of the idea of divine matter.
Divine Revelation, Academic Freedom, and the Catholic University
Authors: Tilley Terrence W.
Published: January 2022

This chapter addresses Catholic universities. How can scholars in Catholic universities have academic freedom in the face of divine revelation? In some institutions, especially in some evangelical colleges, a commitment to God's revelation seems to limit scholars' research. Revelation becomes used as a barrier — happily, one not often approached — to undertaking some academic explorations. However, the chapter argues that if we accept Avery Dulles's fundamental understanding of divine revelation, then a Catholic university can maintain both the authority of divine revelation and confirm its support of academic freedom. To show this, it assesses three key questions. First, how can we understand academic freedom? Second, how can we understand divine revelation? Third, given these understandings, what does this say about how we should live in and live out the idea of a Catholic university?
Evangelization in the Theology of Avery Dulles
Authors: Strand Vincent L.
Published: January 2022

This chapter illustrates how, during the final decades of his life, evangelization became a primary focus of Avery Dulles's theological labors, one to which he dedicated his last days of work. However, his work on evangelization can seem out of place — an incongruous add-on to his massive and sophisticated theological oeuvre, a pious hobby in which he engaged alongside his academically rigorous work in ecclesiology and fundamental theology. Such a view would be mistaken. Dulles's explicit interest in evangelization late in his life was the flowering of a long-active impulse. As the chapter demonstrates, evangelization stands at the center of Dulles's theology. It begins by tracing the course of Dulles's life in light of his interest in evangelization, suggesting that this reading helps frame the continuity and discontinuity present in his long career. The chapter then shows how evangelization links together key aspects of Dulles's theology, particularly his ecclesiology and fundamental theology.

Published: January 2022

Disposal of that large amount of wastes especially non-decaying waste materials become a problem of great concern in developed as well as in developing countries. Recycling waste into useful products is considered to be one of the most sustainable solutions for this problem. Among blister packs is one of them which are being produced in the large amount over the world. In this study waste, blister pack was used in asphalt concrete as an additive to enhance the properties of asphalt concrete. For this purpose, four different serial asphalt concrete samples were produced using shredded waste blister pack in different proportions (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75% by weight of total aggregate and five different percentages of asphalt (4.5%, 5.0%, 5.5%, 6.0% and 6.5% by weight of total aggregate). It has been found that using 0.5% additive has given more satisfactory results than others and also showed the highest stability. It was also observed that the optimum asphalt content has been decreased when increasing the percentage of the waste blister pack.

Objective To assess the psychological impact of suspension/postponement of various fertility treatments on infertile women during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted as an online survey among infertile women consulting either through teleconsultation or physical consultation at a fertility clinic of a tertiary care referral unit. A validated questionnaire was given as a WhatsApp link to the women who were consulting for the resumption of services. Questions asked were based on their socio-demographic parameters, fertility treatment at the time of suspension, anxiety (self-reported) and stress (perceived stress scale-4, PSS-4) due to delay in treatment, psychosocial effect of pandemic, and wishes regarding the resumption of fertility services.Results Of 430 patients who received the questionnaire, 250 completed the survey (response rate: 58%). The mean age of participants was 29.26±4.18 years and the majority (70.4%) had lower socioeconomic status. The average PSS-4 score was 7.8±0.71, and the prevalence of self-reported anxiety was 72%. Those who suffered migration during the pandemic had significantly higher PSS-4 scores, and increasing age was associated with increased self-reported anxiety due to the suspension of fertility services. The top three priorities reported were infertility and treatment delay (48.4%), job loss (19.2%), and the risk of contracting COVID-19 infection (16%). The degree of spousal support was significantly correlated with lower PSS-4 scores (r=-0.30, P<0.01). On multivariate logistic analysis, duration of infertility, delay in treatment due to suspension of services, and fear of COVID-19 infection were significant predictors of stress and anxiety.Conclusion This study emphasizes the need to investigate psychosocial health and to provide psychological support to this vulnerable population in addition to triaging fertility treatments in a phased manner.

Pengawasan Terintegrasi Terhadap Kampanye Prematur Petahana Dalam Pemilihan Kepala Daerah
Authors: Saleh Muhamad , Hadi Sahid
Published: January 2022

This article is written on two objects of study. First, what are the conceptual, normative, and institutional problems in the supervision of the incumbent's premature campaign in a Local Election? Second, how is the idea of an integrated design to supervise the premature campaign of the incumbent? This normative research is conducted using a case, conceptual, and statutory approach. The finding of this study is that the premature campaign has not been strictly regulated by the Election Law. The absence of a strict regulation means that the incumbent's premature campaign can be interpreted using various regulations so that the ambiguity of the supervisory institution existed in this case. Therefore, integrated supervision is offered. Integrated supervision in this context provides a formal coordination forum among supervisory agencies, consisting of representatives from the supervision of the ethical regime, government, public services, law enforcement, with the Bawaslu as the coordinator.

The Feasibility of Establishing A Private International Virtual High School In Ghana
Authors: Quayson Felix
Published: January 2022

During a six months period between Winter and Summer of 2018, the researcher embarked upon a professional interest and a robust study to determine the feasibility of establishing a private international virtual high school in Ghana, West Africa. Since its independence in 1957, Ghana has never had an established international virtual high school. Although the country’s educational system is expanding and recently accredited national universities have introduced distance education programs for its enrolled students and international students. The advantages of a private international virtual high school are endless as it would streamline convenience to education as well as give equitable access to students to be given an international education. Using social media (facebook messenger, imo, and WhatsApp) settings to recruit, interview, and interact with participants who were selected from a purposive sampling, the researcher explored the perceptions of 12 parents who pay tuition at private international high schools and 12 college students who were enrolled at private international high schools in Ghana. The researcher conducted a qualitative methodology research study through a constructivist design approach and emphasized on descriptive (survey), open ended questions, and semi-structured interviews to determine the feasibility of establishing a private international virtual high school in Ghana. Five major themes with sub-themes and five code categories emerged from the data collection and analysis, memos, and field notes. The study was guided by three research questions which were open ended questions that allow participants to share their experiences.

Educational Teamwork: Making Lifelong Changes Through Student & Teacher Collaboration
Authors: Boyles Leticia
Published: January 2022

Many educational studies have generally supported the notion that the problems of teacher and student relationships lie inside and outside of the classroom. Yet such studies neglect to point to the vital role through which students and teachers thrive together as teamwork. The author explores the link between student and teacher relationships and classroom practices by applying meta-analysis of literature review to ideals, positive emotions, and confidence. This paper exemplifies that the effects of classroom practices, when added to those of student and teacher characteristics, are comparable in responsibilities, which suggest that both teachers and students can contribute to the learning process. This paper seeks to contribute to education by strengthening and increasing discussion on the topic of student-teacher collaboration.

Making a Difference Through Sustained In-Service Teacher Training
Authors: Gupta Abha , Lee Guang Lea
Published: January 2022

This study is based on collaboration between a school and a university on professional development training of 4th and 5th grade elementary school teachers in a southeastern state in the USA. The study was three-pronged and focused on teacher knowledge, pedagogy, and student achievement. We examined how the building of teacher capacity affected the performance of underachieving students in math and literacy. Underachieving students were targeted with specific strategies, projects, problems solving stories, self-reflection, and higher-level thinking questions. Student performance was measured for literacy achievement, with quantitative and qualitative measures used for data collection purposes. Students showed progress over previous years in reading scores. Teachers’ growth in knowledge related to the content area was evidenced by the consistently high mean scores. Teachers’ self-ratings on the frequency of using the targeted strategies were indirect evidence of their implementation in the classroom. The results were positive and showed significant progress over previous years concerning student achievement.
Evaluation of Going Global in the “Theoretical Framework for Evaluating POA-Based Teaching Materials”
Authors: Gu Yinghua , Suo Jia
Published: January 2022

Oriented by the theoretical framework for evaluating POA-based materials, this paper aims to evaluate Going Global from three dimensions: appropriate productive objectives, effective enabling activities and successful attainment of productive objectives by collecting interview data of six teachers, questionnaire of students and students’ works. The results show that Going Global embodies the concept of POA textbook evaluation. It has the following advantages: each unit set appropriate productive objectives which help students to have clear mind about what they need do in the unit learning; the textbook provides various related input materials and task types to assist students’ accomplishment of unit objectives; the teaching material itself stimulates students’ interest and enhances the internal driving force of students’ study. The possible disadvantage is that the gradual progress of the difficulty among the units in the same level textbooks still needs to be improved. In addition, the teaching material is deficient in the cultivation of basic language skills, and lacks relevant language training, which needs further improvement.
The Origins of Women’s Artistic Gymnastics
Authors: Cervin Georgia
Published: January 2022

Chapter 1 explores the origins of women’s artistic gymnastics. Founded on Enlightenment ideas about physical education, various gymnastic traditions emerged throughout Europe in the early nineteenth century, in response to rising nationalism. Friedrich Jahn and Pehr Henrik Ling devised many of the apparatuses still in use today, and as gymnasts began contesting who could perform the complex movements, gymnastics underwent sportification. But women were not included in competitions. In the 1920s, Alice Milliat pressured the International Olympic Committee to develop women’s sport, and women’s artistic gymnastics finally became a permanent part of the Olympic program in 1952. The debutant gymnasts showcased the physical cultures from which they came, highlighting the differences between the state-sponsored Soviet sports system, and the laissez-faire US approach. This chapter argues that despite vastly different national traditions and gender expectations, women’s gymnastics was created and standardized as a result of international cooperation in what had hitherto been considered a man’s domain.
Making and Breaking the Rules
Authors: Cervin Georgia
Published: January 2022

Chapter 4 shows how many Federation internationale de gymnastique (FIG) decisions that shaped gymnastics were made due to International Olympic Committee (IOC) pressure. The FIG created gymnastics’ rulebook, the Code of Points, in an attempt to rationalize judging. The IOC nonetheless accused gymnastics of being an artificial team sport with an unfairly medal distribution and a suspicious number of ex aequo ties. Despite the FIG’s efforts, score fixing continued, ultimately leading the FIG to abandon the perfect-10 system and create a new post-10 code. However, this was not the only form of cheating. Age falsification and, to a lesser extent, doping also threatened gymnastics’ credibility. This chapter argues that while international judges and officials collaborated to break the rules, the FIG cooperated with the IOC to maintain gymnastics in the Olympic movement. It shows that very early on in the sport’s history, coaches and officials prioritized their own and their national interests, ahead of gymnasts’.

Feminist Rage and the Right to Life for Women in the Dominican Republic
Authors: Quinn Rachel Afi
Published: January 2022

Memories of the Mirabal sisters’ murder in 1960 and a significant amount of United Nations resources (since the 1980s) have served to bolster a longstanding Dominican feminist movement, yet an epidemic of femicides in the country continues. Highlighting surrealist notions of ambiguity, the femme-enfant, morbidity, and rage, this concluding chapter asserts that for Dominican women and girls their ambiguities of identity play into structures of power that sustain widespread gender-based violence. This chapter argues that the border between girlhood and womanhood further contributes to their precarity as lives devalued under neoliberalism. The chapter examines the narrative of Minerva Mirabal in a contemporary film, controversially portrayed by queer Dominican American actress Michelle Rodriguez, alongside two recent deaths of pregnant teenage girls also vulnerable to patriarchal violence.

Published: January 2022

If the discourse among W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and others regarding the terms of Black inclusion framed early twentieth-century Black intellectual thought, the perspectives and performances of Afrocentricity have shared in the shaping of mid- and late twentieth century discourses on the truth, agency, and limits of Blackness itself as a vehicle for unifying and liberating people of African ancestry in the diaspora. While many might challenge the centrality and significance of Afrocentric discourse as a profound Black intellectual statement, this chapter argues the very existential crisis that identities and interactions force upon Blacks because racialization impels engagement with the varied conceptions and performances of the “Afrocentric idea,” described by Molefi Asante in 1988. The term “Afrocentricity in Education” constitutes a profound liberation-constructed cultural tool. And the various arenas in which the term has been employed—schools, communities, the academy—all resonate to certain essential tensions and themes that constitute one version of the historiographical record of Afrocentricity. This chapter attempts a somewhat uncomfortable but hopefully edifying exercise in self-absorption and self-display, that is, the chapter seeks to examine how the author’s own life as scholar-activist reflects both a subjective and historiographical insight into the recurring character of Afrocentricity in Education as a dialectic of the self, resonating to the inevitable contradictions and complicities inherent in all self-other interactions.
A New Afrikan Nation in the Western Hemisphere
Authors: Onaci Edward
Published: January 2022

This essay examines various aspects of New Afrikan thought to suggest that New Afrikans and their goals demand more space within broader discussions about African American intellectual history, the Black freedom movement, and American social movements. The Republic of New Afrika (RNA) helped animate currents of thought that have run counter to, yet partially tailored, mainstream political discussion. More important, they make visible the most literal nationalism reignited during the Black political struggles of 1960s and 1970s. The pursuit of independence added an important perspective about the concept of Black Power.
Enslaved Women and Strategies of Evasion and Resistance
Authors: Holden Vanessa M.
Published: January 2022

Featuring the close study of one farm, the Francis farm, along the rebellion’s route and the enslaved women who lived there, this chapter illustrates how enslaved women’s labor afforded them greater mobility within the bounds of farms and plantations. The chapter explores enslaved women’s important role in building and defining geographies of evasion and resistance for their community. Their daily movements mapped a resistive geography of evasion, resistance, and survival onto the spaces that whites meant to be sites of surveillance and control. During the rebellion, enslaved women passed information, provided food and sustenance, and were present during the violent murder of whites. Some chose to act in ways that whites would later read as rebellious, while others would remain circumspect. The women’s lives and experiences provide an alternate narrative of the Southampton Rebellion.
Organizing Work
Authors: Bell Melanie
Published: January 2022

This chapter begins by outlining the general contours of the British film industry. It sketches out the historical emergence of the industry's leading trade union, the Association of Cine-Technicians (ACT), before analyzing its evolution and how it favored men and their work at the expense of women in the workforce. The chapter then describes the chief characteristics of the ACT's membership records. Finally, the chapter presents an analysis of the women granted membership of the ACT for the six decades between 1930 and 1989. This discussion is structured into six main categories: Floor; Research, Development, and Publicity; Art and Effects; Camera, Sound and Stills; Cartoon and Diagram; and Postproduction. The analysis highlights the patterns of discrimination and opportunity for women in the context of technological and market shifts and trade union changes across the era.
Manly Games of Celebration and Escape
Authors: Bunk Brian D.
Published: January 2022

Adult men outside of the schools also played football, using the game as a means of confirming social bonds centered on educational experience, occupation, ethnic identity, or military service. These types of games took place when the usual social strictures on male behavior were loosened, such as holidays or times of war. These matches fall into four categories, although there was often considerable overlap between them: nostalgia football, played as a way of recalling schooldays or childhoods; holiday football, a popular version of mob football generally played on special occasions or as part of ethnic festivals; military football, first played by soldiers during the Civil War; and club football, organized by teams outside the schools. Although games from the first three categories were not uncommon, matches between formal established clubs were rare. Formal, organized clubs detached from educational institutions do not begin to form until the 1880s.
Women and Soccer in the Early Twentieth Century
Authors: Bunk Brian D.
Published: January 2022

The games of 1893 did not result in a boom in the number of women playing soccer. No clubs or competitions formed, and for the next decade there were no documented women’s games. By the early twentieth century, soccer was viewed as a less physical and safer version of football. Soon, girls and young women across the country were playing soccer at playgrounds, high schools, and colleges. The chapter traces the growth of the sport among women and documents one of the earliest intercollegiate matches played in 1910. The chapter uses the story of Doris Clark and Helen Clark to illustrate some key points about the history of soccer in the United States. Women did not just play soccer, they were also administrators, coaches, and referees. The lives of the Clarks illustrate broader changes in attitudes toward women in sports, leading to more women participating in soccer, especially in schools.
Conclusion
Authors: Bunk Brian D.
Published: January 2022

The conclusion argues that soccer has had a long history in the United States. Soccer has been played longer in the United States than in any other country apart from the United Kingdom. The sport can be linked to important themes in US history, including urbanization, industrialization, and immigration. Some areas remain understudied, including Native American games and the participation of African Americans.
Introduction
Authors: Carson Matter

The introductory chapter introduces the reader to the key arguments, themes, events, and protagonists in this book about power laundry workers, which spans and discusses the early twentieth-century women’s labor movement, the Great Migration, Black women’s industrial labor and organizing, the Great Depression and New Deal Order, Communist Party organizing during the Third Period and Popular Front, the rise of the industrial union movement and formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America’s (ACWA) industrial and social unionism, World War II and the Double V Campaign, labor feminism, civil rights unionism and the long civil rights movement, the 1960s feminist movement, and intersectionality. The chapter introduces the reader to the four key protagonists: Black workers Dollie Robinson and Charlotte Adelmond and white radical Jewish organizers Jessie Taft Smith and Beatrice Shapiro Lumpkin. This chapter tells the reader that the book will provide an analysis of the working conditions and occupational structure in the power laundry industry nationwide (chapters 1 and 2) but then focus on laundry workers in New York City, one of the leading centers of the industry. Chapters 3 through 7 follow the workers’ thirty-year union campaign and argue that a multitude of factors led to unionization in 1937, including Depression-era working conditions, the support of allies in the Women’s Trade Union League, the Communist Party and the Negro Labor Committee, the emergence of the industrial union movement, New Deal labor legislation, and, most importantly, the militant industrial and interracial organizing of the workers themselves. Chapters 7 to 10 demonstrate that unionization under the ACWA-affiliated Laundry Workers Joint Board (LWJB) resulted in marginally better working conditions but that tensions quickly erupted between a predominantly Black workforce determined to pursue a civil rights agenda and a white male leadership, including ACWA president Sidney Hillman, who was intent on exercising tight control over the union and implementing a bureaucratic, business-oriented unionism reminiscent of the CIO’s former nemesis, the American Federation of Labor. Chapter 11 discusses the impact of the leadership’s ousting of Adelmond and Robinson and the suppression of their civil rights unionism for both the laundry workers and organized labor more broadly. This chapter concludes with a brief discussion of sources, including union records, oral histories, census data, legal documents, Women’s Bureau reports, newspapers, and the records of the WTUL and Communist Party.
