 | | | | Edges of History and Memory: The "Final Stage" of the Holocaust This essay begins by observing that while images and texts that emanated from the 'final stage' of the Holocaust seem to be a privileged source in depictions of the Holocaust, the specific features of this stage itself often remain unclear. What was the 'final stage' of the Holocaust? Did it have any clear and definite contours? How is it conceived in relation to other, earlier stages of the Holocaust? And are there any particular meanings that people associate with this stage? The first part of this essay explores these questions by examining the tensions between the presence and absence... |

| "Your Money Ain't no Good O'er There": Food as Real and Social Currency in the Pacific Theater of World War II The millions of American servicemen who fought in the Pacific during World War II were paid better than any other. However, constant combat and time at sea gave these men relatively few places to spend their hard-earned money. Regardless, commerce existed in the theater in both real and social terms using currencies that were readily available and valued by men, even when there were few novel, material things to purchase with real money. Food was one of these forms of currency, and gave men a valuable tool that they could use to barter or adjust their social standing among their peers.... |

| Youth Voice, Civic Engagement and Failure in Participatory Action Research In this article, we tell the story of a changing urban landscape through the eyes of the youth we work with in an ongoing after-school program and community-based research project rooted in Photovoice methodology. In particular, we focus on the work that, over the 6 years of our time with youth, has ''ended up on the cutting room floor'' (Paris and Winn 2014, p. xix). This attention to the work that has fallen through the cracks is a move to engage the central tenets of Humanizing Research, but it's also a call to think critically with and through the failures that emerge in work with... |

This paper applies a political settlements framework to examine primary education quality in Rwanda.

Rwanda's political elite have staked their claim in the development of the country, one which is relatively free from rent-seeking. But education quality remains surprisingly low. Enrollment has surged, but primary school dropout and repetition are high. Most children have not acquired... |
