Shed Light

This article extends the research of Jerry Rawicki and Carolyn Ellis who have collaborated for more than eight years on memories and consequences of the Holocaust. Focusing on Jerry’s memories of his experience during the Holocaust, they present dialogues that took place during five recorded interviews and follow-up conversations that reflect on the similarity of Hitler’s seizing of power in the 1930s to the meteoric rise of Donald Trump. Noting how issues of class and race were taking an increasingly prominent role in their conversations and collaborative writing, they also begin to examine discontent in the rural, White working class and Carolyn’s socialization within that community. These dialogues and reflections seek to shed light on the current political climate in America as Carolyn and Jerry struggle to cope with their fears and envision a hopeful path forward for their country.

Eventual Death

Abstract This article traces the figure of polvo (dust) across the writing career of Puerto Rican and New York writer Manuel Ramos Otero. Polvo heralds the macabre sensuality of his early short stories, long before his diagnosis with HIV, and persists and morphs through his later essays and poetry up until his eventual death in 1990 from AIDS complications. Writing defiantly as a queer, a feminist, a Puerto Rican, and a sidoso, he produced work that invites death and desire to commingle through a figuration of dust, as a scattered substance that covers skin, coats translation, and dirties conventional genres. Polvo illuminates the dimensions and risks of relation as a particulate matter that exposes our porosity—clinging and hovering in the space between bodies, between the past and the future, between life and death. As the dust settles in the wake of Hurricane María, so too can polvo be read as prescient for how coloniality lingers as enduring conditions of debility and precarity. Ramos Otero's affinity for finitude, figured through polvo, counterintuitively conjures a relational desire that privileges the porous, the marginal, and the always precarious possibility of survival. Polvo moves across the different genres and phases of Ramos Otero's work as a matter that refuses to disentangle the material realities of queerness and coloniality.

Rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury. Walter M. High, Jr., Angelle M. Sander, Margaret A. Struchen, and Karen A. Hart (Eds.). 2005. New York: Oxford University Press. 368 pp., $69.50 (HB).Rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury, the final product of a 2003 conference that assembled national experts on traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation, was written to “bring into one volume a concise and authoritative account of what is currently known in the field of TBI rehabilitation.” It is intended for TBI clinicians and researchers including neuropsychologists, physiatrists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, and rehabilitation therapists. The volume is impressive for the number of chapter authors who are nationally recognized experts on various aspects of TBI rehabilitation (e.g., Drs. Prigatano, Malec, Corrigan, Levin, Boake, Diller, Sohlberg, and Cicerone), as well as the broad and inclusive range of topics covered.
