Because Literature Promotes Justice: A Roundup of The Review Review’s Coverage of Litmags and Editors Addressing Important Social Issues
Get PDFWhen, in early 2019, we began the process of transitioning The Review Review leadership, I was struck by how well Founding Editor Becky Tuch and her team had balanced their mission to provide writers, readers, editors, and students a phenomenal resource for understanding and appreciating the world of litmags, with their clear understanding that all artforms always have political implications. Fast forward eighteen months
Canadian Journal Anchored by Excellence: Review of Antigonish Review, Fall 2018
Get PDFThe Antigonish Review reveals excellent poetry, fiction, book reviews and a single nonfiction essay in its Fall 2018 issue. Topics wide in range covered seemingly everything from health concerns to marital strife and more. Nearly half a century of publishing some of the best in Canadian prose, including Margaret Atwood, The Antigonish Review (TAR) carries vocabulary thick with glaciers and moraine, morass and Halifax, Adirondacks. More than half of the writers in its pages are Canadian or have close ties to Canada
Journal Falls A Bit Short of Satisfying: Review of Your Impossible Voice, Fall 2018
Get PDFOverall Your Impossible Voice is far from bad, but at the same time, not much comes to mind when I try to think of the pieces in this issue. There is a general over-arching theme of feeling out of place, of trying to find a, as Joanna Ruocco puts it in her excerpt from The Runner, “better solution to the problem of existence.” And this theme is strong throughout, for better and for worse. The majority of narrators and characters feel far away, from each other as well as from the reader, telling their stories at a distance. This emphasizes the notion of feeling out of place and away from home, which is admirable, but at the same it also means that the fiction is for the most part drawn out and overly contemplative
Spokane Candidates Climate Change Forum 2020
Get PDFGonzaga University’s environmental studies department hosted the Spokane Candidates Climate Change Forum on October 7, 2020, for voters to hear local candidates’ thoughts about the topic before the November election. Brian G. Henning, Ph.D., professor of environmental studies and chair of the department, moderated the “C3 Forum,” where each candidate had two minutes to respond to a question and then a minute for facilitation of further discussion. “As the climate crisis is one of the most significant challenges we face, Spokane voters are increasingly interested in learning about how local candidates will use their office to address the threat of global climate change,” Henning said about the event. “The C3 Forum was created to help inform Spokane citizens so that they can make an informed judgment at the ballot box.
Racializing American ‘Egyptians’: Shifting Legal Discourse, 1690s–1860s
Get PDFThis article situates the historical “Egyptian,” more commonly referred to as “Gypsy,” into the increasingly racist legal structures formed in the British North American colonies and the early United States, between the 1690s and 1860s. It simultaneously considers how those who considered themselves, or were considered by others, as “Egyptians” or “Gypsies” navigated life in the new realities created by such laws. Despite the limitations of state-produced sources from each era under study, inferences about these people’s experiences remain significant to building a more accurate and inclusive history of the United States. The following history narrates the lives of Joan Scott, her descendants, and other nineteenth-century Americans influenced by legal racial categories related to “Egyptians” and “Gypsies.” This is interwoven with the relevant historical contexts from American legal discourses that confirm the racialization of such categories over the centuries
