A collection of accessible, interdisciplinary essays that explore
archival practices to unsettle traditional archival theories and
methodologies. What would it mean to unsettle the archives? How can
we better see the wounded and wounding places and histories that
produce absence and silence in the name of progress and knowledge?
Unsettling Archival Research sets out to answer these urgent
questions and more, with essays that chart a more just path for
archival work. Unsettling Archival Researchis one of the first
publications in rhetoric and writing studies dedicated to
scholarship that unsettles disciplinary knowledge of archival
research by drawing on decolonial, Indigenous, antiracist, queer,
and community perspectives. Written by established and emerging
scholars, essays critique not only the practices, ideologies, and
conventions of archiving, but also offer new tactics for engaging
critical, communal, and digital archiving within and against
systems of power. Contributors reflect on efforts to counteract,
resist, and explore alternatives to racist, colonial histories and
which approaches best support such work. They also confront the
potentials and pitfalls of common archival theories and
methodologies. Unsettling Archival Research intervenes in a
critical issue: whether the discipline’s assumptions about the
archives serve or fail the communities they aim to represent and
what can be done to center missing voices and perspectives. The aim
is to explore the ethos and praxis of bearing witness in unsettling
ways, carried out as a project of queering and/or decolonizing the
archives. Unsettling Archival Research takes seriously the
rhetorical force of place and wrestles honestly with histories that
still haunt our nation, including the legacies of slavery, colonial
violence, and systemic racism.
In 1942, twenty-three-year-old Nancy Jane Miller joined a group of
American women hand-picked by renowned aviatrix, Jacqueline
Cochran, to volunteer as pilots with the British Air Transport
Auxiliary (ATA). The ATA, which included men and women pilots from
many countries, had been formed to ferry military aircraft from
British factories to front-line operational squadrons and would
become Cochran's inspiration for the Women Airforce Service Pilots
(WASP), which served on American soil. This is Miller's account of
those years, written as a message to her father in the months
between her demobilization and her voyage home in 1945. It is a
description of her experiences flying 50 different kinds of
military aircraft in a country under siege-without instruments and
in all kinds of weather, armed only with minimal checkouts,
handling notes for the planes, and plenty of pluck. It is also an
American woman's view of British life during the war, the gradual
buildup to D-Day, and ultimate victory in Europe. It is a vivid
picture of what it meant to contribute to the war effort and, above
all, what it means to fly
