“…On the other hand, although the state as a political structure is a phenomenon that has always existed, its constituent elements have undergone radical transformations over time. What is understood by the modern state today is the model that emerged in Western Europe in the 16th century and spread all over the world, which formed the basis of current international law, as legally guaranteed by the UN Charter (Erkulwater, 2018). In this context, modern historiography has developed in line with the method that accepts states as subjects, not civilizations.…”

History is a form of the collective memory of societies. The history of any society is not independent of others. Historiography traditionally focused on relations among political authorities, namely, states. Within this context, societies had been equated with states. Geographical discoveries, which began at the end of 15th century, culminated in the emergence of a Eurocentric view of world history. The development of Eurocentric historiography was not an outcome of convention, but rather a reflection of world politics at that time. Historians began to write history by treating states dominant at regional and global scale as basic to their work. In this study, it is explained that international politics has had an important role in the development of Eurocentric historiography. To this end, historiography and the links between society and modern states are examined; the development of the Eurocentric international system is reviewed; the re-construction of non-European society by modern states is assessed; whether or not non-European societies are capable of an alternative historiography is debated; and, finally, it is claimed that modern international practices have determinative influence in the development of Eurocentric historiography.

“…Parents often form the backbone of PAGs, as both volunteers and staff, and their experiences enrich the ability of PAGs to connect with future parents. However, research has shown that volunteer activities are more achievable for individuals who are older and/or more affluent (Nesbit et al 2018;Americorps, Office of Research and Evaluation 2021), and white families-especially white mothers-have historically comprised the majority of PAG staff and membership (Erkulwater 2018;Reed and Meredith 2020). Parents with the ability to devote time to nonprofit work are less likely to be from socially disadvantaged groups, and people from minorities and underserved communities may be less inclined to join groups in which they do not see their identities and experiences represented.…”

Never “totally prepared”: Support groups on helping families prepare for a child with a genetic condition

A rapid increase in the reach and breadth of prenatal genetic screening and testing has led to an expanding need for prenatal support of families receiving this genetic information. As part of a larger study investigating prenatal preparation for a child with a genetic condition, we interviewed representatives of patient advocacy groups (PAGs) who support parents postdiagnosis. Groups supporting families with Down syndrome were often local or regional, while other groups were often national or international in scope. Groups varied in their willingness or ability to support families prior to making a pregnancy continuation decision, and participants reflected on ways they addressed these needs with individual counseling and referrals, if needed. Participants described supporting parents with information about conditions and a range of lived experiences for families, while referring families to healthcare professionals for technical questions and additional medical needs. PAGs also prioritized connecting parents experiencing a new diagnosis with other families for peer support and community-building, both in person and on social media. Participants discussed limitations, such as a lack of racially-concordant support, ability to offer resources in languages other than English, and a lack of funding to meet the expressed needs of families post-diagnosis. Overall, participants emphasized that the parenting experience of each child is unique, irrespective of a genetic diagnosis, an experience for which parents can never be "totally prepared."

“…57 The use of racially coded language regarding welfare benefits to argue for the ADA created tensions with Black civil rights activists. 58 Proponents of the legislation also directly questioned the claims of business interests regarding costs. Greyhound buses claimed that installing a wheelchair lift on a bus would cost $35,000 per bus and forcing them to be installed would reduce services to thousands of small towns.…”

This article examines the divide within the Republican Party between business interests and conservative evangelicals during the debate over the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Business interests were able to build compromises by raising their concerns over practical matters such as costs. Conservative evangelicals advocated for changes due to their moral and ideological positions on homosexuality and HIV. Conservative evangelicals did not receive their desired changes because they constructed their concerns with public safety themes. This led to conservative evangelicals and their opponents talking past each other instead of addressing their concerns. The dynamics shown from the opposition of conservative evangelicals in the ADA debate demonstrate that their influence in elections did not lead to dominance within the Republican Party in shaping policy.
