Comment: Law and Disorder in Nineteenth-Century Kentucky
Robert M. Ireland\u27s Article, Law and Disorder in Nineteenth-Century Kentucky, centers on the state constitutional conventions of 1849 and 1890-1891, spiced with newspaper accounts, statutes,court cases, and legislative records. He has said that his Article presents a preliminary overview of some of the principal problems of the criminal justice system of nineteenth-century Kentucky. I hope this means he intends to continue his study so that soon we can expect a full examination of the criminal justice system in that state. I also hope that other scholars then will be inspired by his example to examine other contemporary state criminal justice systems, because only when we have more comprehensive and comparable data will we have any reliable understanding of this important aspect of nineteenth-century legal history

Marx, Lenin and Pashukanis on self-determination: response to Robert Knox
This response to Robert Knoxâs very kind and constructive review1 of my 2008 book The
Degradation of the International Legal Order?: The Rehabilitation of Law and the Possibility of
Politics gives me the opportunity not only to answer some of his criticisms, but also, on the basis
of my own reflections since 2008, to fill in some gaps. Indeed, to revise a number of my
arguments. First, I restate my attempt at a materialist account of human rights. Next I explain
why, for me, the right of peoples to self-determination is absolutely central to a materialist
understanding of human rights; and also fill a serious gap in my own account in the book. This
leads me not only to a reply to Robert Knox on the question of âindeterminacyâ in international
law, but also to a disagreement with him on the use or misuse of the language of self-determination.
My fourth section returns to our very different evaluations of the significance and meaning of
the work of Yevgeny Pashukanis, and what, for me, is Pashukanisâs misunderstanding, for
reasons consistent with his general theoretical trajectory, of Marx and Lenin on the Irish
question. Finally, I present an outline of a re-evaluation of Marxâs principled position on
self-determination
Law and Disorder: Two Settings in \u3ci\u3eThat Hideous Strength\u3c/i\u3e
Contrasts Bracton College, symbolic of failure to respect the natural law (or Tao), as Lewis defines it, and Belbury. The former ignores the natural law, representing alienation from nature and âlicitâ law, religion, and science
Making sense of law and disorder
This article tells the story of a cross-cultural encounter on a beach at King George\u27s Sound in the south west of Australia in 1826, when Major Edmund Lockyer arrived to establish a British military garrison. The account we have of those early encounters come from the pen of Lockyer, and by taking a close reading of his journal this article attempts to reveal the meanings and context of Aboriginal actions. It also analyses how the Aborigines and the British made sense and subsequently responded to the encounter. Whilst this story is not given iconic status in Australian historiography, it is valuable in opening up a porthole into this contact zone at the moment when precarious relationships were being formed.<br /
Traveling Yellow Peril: Race, Gender, and Empire in Japan's English Teaching Industry
Contemporary U.S. white migrants working in Japan long-term as English teachers find themselves in an increasingly precarious labor market. When reacting to industry flexibilization, the U.S. men I interviewed during two years of fieldwork in Nagoya regularly invoked Filipina competition as an impending threat to their livelihoods. Anxieties coalesced around the question of whether racialized postcolonial subjects can fully inhabit the category of "native English teacher." This essay combines Asian American, postcolonial, and transnational American Studies perspectives to situate these "nativist" logics within an historical trajectory of anti-Asian labor backlash in the United States and "benevolent assimilation" policies in the Philippines. These histories reappear within Japan's neoliberal labor regimes to position Filipina migrants as a feminized "yellow peril" menace to hegemonic white masculinities abroad. Extending Homi Bhabha's theories, the essay demonstrates how Filipina "colonial mimicry" undermines the embodied, linguistic authority of white "native" English teachers and becomes a discursive conduit for the transplantation into Japan of the "white male victim" figure commonly seen in domestic U.S. culture wars
