What We Remember: A Reading List on Archives - Longreads

And, how does what we keep affect what we collectively remember in practice? If what we collect determines what we remember, we have to be mindful about what we’re willing to lose." - Hallel Yadin
Why do we keep what we keep — and who decides? An archivist digs and collects longreads on how objects and materials shape public memory.

For many, these bonds can also be a source of pain, since they don’t necessarily foster understanding, tolerance, or even care. The complicated nature of Filipino family bonds has been a topic of interest, even of obsession, for many Filipino writers both at home and in the diaspora.” – Monica Macansantos, author of Love and Other Rituals

Join us on Tuesday, April 5th from 6:30-8 PM EDT on Zoom for our first BOOK SALON of the year with Jessie Daniels on 𝘕𝘐𝘊𝘌 𝘞𝘏𝘐𝘛𝘌 𝘓𝘈𝘋𝘐𝘌𝘚: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘺, 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘐𝘵. Dr. Daniels will be in conversation with Alyssa Bowen and Carla Shedd.
In Jessie Daniels' new book 𝘕𝘐𝘊𝘌 𝘞𝘏𝘐𝘛𝘌 𝘓𝘈𝘋𝘐𝘌𝘚: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘺, 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘐𝘵 (Seal Press; October 12th), Daniels connects the recent historical research documenting the cruelty of white women slave owners in the antebellum South to those behind the effort to establish monuments to the Confederacy, to the majority of white women who consistently vote “against their own interests” and for the GOP. But the damage that nice white ladies do is not easily cordoned off as an issue on the right. There is, this book suggests, a kind of narcissism and sadomasochism at the heart of whiteness. Daniels closes the book with a roadmap for other white women with practical steps for how to affect much-needed change. Ultimately, 𝘕𝘐𝘊𝘌 𝘞𝘏𝘐𝘛𝘌 𝘓𝘈𝘋𝘐𝘌𝘚, shows how white women can be more than allies—they can be trusted accomplices in a shared mission of liberation for us all.

Today's goes out to a woman dubbed "the Mother of Women's Studies," Florence Howe. Florence began teaching Women's Studies in the 1950's before it was even a major or given a proper name, and she found that there weren't nearly enough literary materials to help teach the class. She decided the way to overcome this hurdle was by founding a publishing house herself that could be dedicated to amplifying the voices of unheard women. This publishing house was named The Feminist Press and today, fifty years later, it is the longest surviving women’s publishing house in the world.

Join us on Wednesday, March 23rd from 6:30-7:45 PM EDT on Zoom for a talk with Rupal Oza on "Ties to Land: Sexual Violation and Political Economy in Rural India."
What is the relationship between sexual violation and private property? In this talk, Rupal Oza will follow how the social life of r**e in rural Haryana is navigated through differential caste and community access to land. Beyond direct causal connections between land disputes and sexual assault, land anchors social relationships in Haryana. Oza's effort to recount these stories of dispute and violence illustrates what Rana Jaleel (2021) has called “r**e’s intimacies with property [which are] roughly tethered to expropriations of resources, lives, and land." In these intimacies, caste relations braid together who has access to resources and land.
