The Idea of Justice in Climates of Change
No full textThe Idea of Justice has been percolating for some time. The essays by Amartya Sen and George Anastaplo featured in this special issue derive from addresses presented at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Third Biennial Literature and Law Conference, held in March of 2012 in New York City. The theme of that conference was The Idea of Justice, and it was dedicated to Sen’s 2008 book of that title. Sen graciously agreed to deliver the keynote. The conference organizer, Andrew Majeske, who is also an editor of this journal, asked the late George Anastaplo to be the respondent. What ensued was a lively debate over the scope and meaning of justice, with Anastaplo taking a more local and conservative approach and Sen a more global one. Their contrasting views generated numerous provocative yet amiable exchanges. The collegiality had something to do with the academic context, but it may have also reflected the timing: the conference took place prior to most of the polarizing changes that have shaken the world over the past decade

Beckett to Breivik: An Interview with Matthew Feldman
No full textMatthew Feldman, fittingly for someone who works on the unique, the difficult and the uniquely difficult, has had an unusual career. After completing a PhD on Samuel Beckett’s psychological and philosophical sources, he has held roles as a lecturer, reader and professor in modern history at Oxford Brookes, Northamp- ton and Teesside. He remains Emeritus Professor in the History of Ideas, as well as being a Professorial Fellow at the University of York. Feldman was the founder and director of the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right (CARR). He has published extensively on history, literature and fascism. His monographs include Beckett’s Books: A Cultural History of the Interwar Notes (2006), Ezra Pound’s Fascist Propaganda, 1935-1945 (2013), and two recent collection of essays, Falsifying Beckett (2015) and Politics, Intellectuals and Faith (2020), as well as numerous articles and edited collections. His third essay collection is due out next year, and his much-anticipated history of fascism will be published by Yale University Press in 2024
Unmarked Graves: Yet another Legacy of Canada’s Residential School System: An Interview with Niki Thorne
No full textThe residential school system, created by the Canadian government and run by Christian churches, was in place from the 1870s to 1996 and marks one of the darkest chapters in Canadian history. Forcibly removed from their families and homes, the more than 150,000 First Nations, Me?tis, and Inuit children who went through the residential school system lost their languages, their traditions, and their cultural practices in the process. Supposed to convert Indigenous youths to a Euro-Canadian way of life, residential schools were often located far from the children’s home reserves, a fact that further facilitated the children’s emotional, physical, and sexual abuse by church educators. The aftershocks of such brutality manifest themselves to this day in an exceptionally high rate of suicides among the survivors’ children and grandchildren
Defenders of Racial Justice: The Law and Literature Partnership of Albion W. Tourgée and Samuel F. Phillips
No full textThe best way to explore the confluence of law and literature from ratification of the Reconstruction amendments to Plessy is to focus on the career of a little known figure, the lawyer-novelist Albion W. Tourgée, and his relationship to Samuel Phillips, a lawyer who would become the second Solicitor General of the United States. This essay traces their efforts to achieve some semblance of racial justice in the post bellum South, and how eventually these two came to defend Homer Plessy in the infamous Plessy v Ferguson case (which established the separate but equal doctrine). In examining Plessy, this essay reveals how the structure of that defense could be traced to Tourgée's fiction, and how their defense, and its echoes, which extend to Brown v Board of Education and beyond, help to prove the old adage that truth often proves to be stranger than fiction
