Justice Stores Biography
Immigrant Rights and National Insecurity (Vol. 33, No. 1) features essays by Susanne Jonas and other contributors on the future implications of the great immigration battle of 2006, the deportation phenomenon in Europe and the Caribbean, pro-immigrant social movements, and the relationship. Jonas' article is available online: click here. Earlier issues focusing on immigration include: Gatekeeper's State: Immigration and Boundary Policing in an Era of Globalization (Vol. 28, No. 2, 2001); Immigration: A Civil Rights Issue for the Americas in the 21st Century (Vol. 23, No. 3, 1996); and Resisting Militarism and Globalized Punishment (Vol. 31, Nos. 1 and 2, 2004).

It offers a critical theoretical framework on how social justice work can dismantle the considerable barriers erected by the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind (NCLB) policy. The volume looks at the way in which challenges to education, welfare, and notions of security affect particular groups and entire communities, as well as how they respond, resist, and create alternatives. It advances our understanding of the ways in which communities and institutions can support the development of agency among underserved youth, particularly given the Right's dominance over the nature and content of education, and thus address the roles of public institutions in a democracy.

We face increased state and nationwide efforts to control learning and teaching under the guise of "standards" and "accountability." A growing number of educators and community activists are resisting this trend through innovative, progressive practices in classrooms at all levels and through organizing students, parents, and teachers to defend their educational rights. This issue of Social Justice captures examples of this resistance in California universities and elsewhere and offers critiques of the "standards" movement. Edited by Susan Roberta Katz & Cecilia O'Leary. Read the "Introduction."Resisting Militarism and Globalized Punishment (Vol. 31, Nos. 1-2) examines the widening net of incarceration, immigration policing, and drug and crime enforcement, as well as the role of an increasingly authoritarian national security state in a globalized 21st-century economy. This transnational phenomenon is the fruition of a conservative program, initiated in the Reagan and Thatcher years, and continuing under George W. Bush and Tony Blair’s New Labour, that lowers the cost of labor, makes regressive tax cuts, reduces environmental regulations (especially in the U.S.), guts affirmative action and welfare benefits, and greatly expands the military and the criminal justice system. It pushes the world to accept unilateralist, preemptive militarism, most notably with the Bush-Blair intervention in Iraq. The U.S. and Britain have been engaged in a prison-building binge, such that the U.S. now has the highest rate of incarceration of any modern democracy and England has become the prison capital of Western Europe. Articles in this issue speak to an integrated system of global workforce management and governance that is increasingly based on restricting civil, political, and human rights. Read the "Introduction."
Native Women and State Violence (Vol. 31, No. 4), edited by Andrea Smith and Luana Ross, is, according to Professor Emeritus Paul Takagi, a collector's piece that should be read by a wide audience at every level in the educational system. The articles are deeply moving and complement several books recently published on state violence (by England, Germany, Belgium, and France) in Africa and Europe.
