Retelling racialized violence, remaking white innocence: the politics of interlocking oppressions in transgender day of remembrance
No full textTransgender Day of Remembrance has become a significant political event among those resisting violence against gender-variant persons. Commemorated in more than 250 locations worldwide, this day honors individuals who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. However, by focusing on transphobia as the definitive cause of violence, this ritual potentially obscures the ways in which hierarchies of race, class, and sexuality constitute such acts. Taking the Transgender Day of Remembrance/Remembering Our Dead project as a case study for considering the politics of memorialization, as well as tracing the narrative history of the Fred F. C. Martinez murder case in Colorado, the author argues that deracialized accounts of violence produce seemingly innocent White witnesses who can consume these spectacles of domination without confronting their own complicity in such acts. The author suggests that remembrance practices require critical rethinking if we are to confront violence in more effective ways.

Women of Bethlehem Steel - Patty Felix
No full textPatty Felix grew up on a farm in New Jersey. The youngest of five siblings, Felix showed a love of learning from a young age and looked up to her oldest brother, who set an example of academic and personal success by studying mechanical engineering at night school at Lafayette College while working on the family farm during the day. Felix’s interview shows that she shared the work ethic and drive of her oldest brother. Although her family’s financial situation prevented her from finishing her degree, Felix speaks with pride about her three years at Moravian College, where she studied business and economics and was first introduced to the city of Bethlehem. In her interview, Felix intermittently reflects upon her family and education while describing her nearly thirty-year career as a buyer for Bethlehem Steel, a corporate position through which she acquired a working knowledge of metallurgy, steel production, and the international steel industry. Felix discusses the relationship between her professional and personal life and represents herself as dedicated as both a worker and a person to Bethlehem Steel and to Bethlehem, PA. This interview is part of a series of interviews conducted by Lehigh University and the Steelworkers’ Archives and supported by the Lehigh University Mellon Digital Humanities Initiative and the South Side Initiative. An oral history interview is an act of memory and hence both highly selective and highly subjective. While it accurately reflects what a narrator remembers (or chooses to tell) of his or her experience and viewpoints, it may not accurately represent what actually transpired or what another person may have experienced. As such, users should subject interviews to the same degree of critical scrutiny they would any other historical source
