Limited legal protections for privacy leave minority communities
vulnerable to concrete injuries and violence when their information
is exposed. In Privacy at the Margins, Scott Skinner-Thompson
highlights why privacy is of acute importance for marginalized
groups. He explains how privacy can serve as a form of expressive
resistance to government and corporate surveillance regimes -
furthering equality goals - and demonstrates why efforts undertaken
by vulnerable groups (queer folks, women, and racial and religious
minorities) to protect their privacy should be entitled to
constitutional protection under the First Amendment and related
equality provisions. By examining the ways even limited privacy can
enrich and enhance our lives at the margins in material ways, this
work shows how privacy can be transformed from a liberal
affectation to a legal tool of liberation from oppression.
Every year in the highlands of Guatemala, the town of Sumpango
celebrates Day of the Dead by flying kites. The kites are massive,
the largest measuring 45 feet in diameter. Smaller kites, close 20
feet in height, are flown in a death-defying race down the side of
a mountain. From a distance, the kites appear luminous and
blissful, but the radiant colors of the kites mask an ominous
subtext. On closer inspection, the images on the sails depict
people in agony and torment: mutilated bodies, mass burials,
kidnappings, and rivers of blood. In graphic illustration, the
kites allude to the dark and painful history of Guatemala's 30-year
civil war. Originally centered on remembering the dead, the kite
festival has become a way for the indigenous community to heal
itself from the trauma of the war. Wings of Resistance examines the
politics and art of the giant kites, placing this Guatemalan
tradition in the context of international kite cultures. The
contributors include Alison Fujino, Christopher Ornelas, Jose
Sainz, Scott Skinner, and Victorino Tejaxun.
"Perry, you're not naughty and you've not upset your mum. It's not
your fault - it's never your fault - that your mummy feels this
glum." Perry is worried about his mum. He speaks with his grandma,
who explains how his mum is feeling and offers reassurance. She
makes it clear that Perry is not to blame and talks about some of
the things that might help his mum feel better. Perry Panda is a
story designed to help young children understand a parent or
carer's depression. With simple rhymes and bright illustrations, it
explains behaviours that may seem unusual to the child and
reassures them that it is not their fault.
