“…Generally, disaster studies speak to how quotidian processes facilitate catastrophic effects on a population by a potentially destructive agent from the global ecosystem (Hoffman and Oliver-Smith 2020). The results may highlight or exacerbate existing systemic inequalities of race, class, and gender (Jackson 2011;Schuller 2015), among other vectors, often due to pressures of so-called neoliberalism and disaster capitalism (Klein 2007). In their insightful, timely contribution, Faas et al (2020) propose a research agenda that sees the COVID-19 pandemic as "the product of connections between people, with their social systems, nonhumans, and the material world more broadly" (333).…”

In Spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced university instructors across the United States to confront the daunting task of quickly changing their courses from face-to-face to remote instruction. Nationally, universities relied on virtual platforms as they adjusted educational spaces in response to the pandemic. While there have been many anecdotes of how individual faculty responded to this transition, social scientists have yet to study systematically how instructors handled this transition. This article presents and analyzes data from semi-structured interviews with non-tenure-track social science faculty to understand how they handled the change to remote teaching after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It analyzes these interviews by drawing on intersecting perspectives from the anthropology of disaster, anthropology of education, and digital anthropology. We argue the transition to online teaching presented new challenges and opportunities to instructors as people coping with novel health concerns, family obligations, and space-time changes. Simultaneously, this change created pedagogical issues related to continuity of instruction, classroom presence, and emotional labor. We conclude with recommendations and directions for future research.

“…These heroic stories privilege pilgrims, pioneers, and homesteaders; plantation owners; military heroes and presidents; freedom seekers and explorers. They neglect the tech nological, cultural, moral, gendered, and racial histories and tensions of engagement with diverse communities (Jackson 2011a(Jackson , 2011b(Jackson , 2014Finney 2014;Shumaker 2009). At issue, however, is not only a need to focus on the history and heritage of African Americans within the national story but also the fact that U.S. policy and legal codes were based on exclusion, which was manifest even in sites like the national parks, designated for public use.…”

Heritage, Tourism, and Race views heritage and leisure tourism in the Americas through the lens of race, and is especially concerned with redressing gaps in recognizing and critically accounting for African Americans as an underrepresented community in leisure.Fostering critical public discussions about heritage, travel, tourism, leisure, and race, Jackson addresses the underrepresentation of African American leisure experiences and links Black experiences in this area to discussions of race, place, spatial imaginaries, and issues of segregation and social control explored in the fields of geography, architecture, and the law. Most importantly, the book emphasizes the importance of shifting public dialogue from a singular focus on those groups who are disadvantaged within a system of racial hierarchy to those actors and institutions exerting power over racialized others through practices of exclusion.Heritage, Tourism, and Race will be invaluable reading for academics and students engaged in the study of museums as well as architecture, anthropology, public history, and a range of other disciplines. It will also be of interest to museum and heritage professionals and those studying the construction and control of space and how this affects and reveals the narratives of marginalized communities.

“…The elevation of white femininity and dismissal of Black women’s hardships in the girl’s narrative would have been evident to almost everyone in the chambers that day, signaled by the statement that she and her family had been able to return to New Orleans “months later.” Nearly a quarter of the city’s population experienced prolonged displacement after the floods, and barriers to return were especially high for households with meager resources, a disproportionate number of whom were African American (Jackson 2011). In 2017, the lower Ninth Ward, a majority‐Black part of the city at the time of the floods, was home to less than 50 percent of its pre‐2005 population, and many of the 2017 population were newcomers rather than returnees (Allen 2011; The Data Center 2018).…”

Architectures of Pain: Racism and Monuments Removal Activism in the “New” New Orleans

In 2017, the City of New Orleans removed four segregation-era monuments celebrating the Southern Confederacy and valorizing white supremacist ideology. As in other cities, efforts to remove such monuments are not new, and historically have been connected to collective challenges to racialized inequality, and more recently to transnational postcolonial struggles. Given the longstanding activism in favor of removing such monuments I ask, Why now? In exploring this question, I examine the circulation of images, talk, and text about the monuments in relation to the city's post-2005 political economy and find that people's expressed sentiments regarding the statues illuminate the ongoing challenges faced by New Orleans' multiracial working-class and poor residents. I argue that the city administration's framing of the monuments as emblems of an unequal past decouples the monuments' removal from the urgent need to meaningfully address present inequalities. While clearing the cityscape of these four monuments makes neighborhoods more palatable to residents who oppose overt symbols of white supremacy, it may also paradoxically contribute to gentrified redevelopment that displaces predominantly non-white poor and working-class residents.
