Twice Forgotten: African Americans and the Korean War, an Oral History by David P. Cline

Reviewed by: Twice Forgotten: African Americans and the Korean War, an Oral History by David P. Cline Selika Ducksworth-Lawton Twice Forgotten: African Americans and the Korean War, an Oral History. By David P. Cline. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2021. Pp. 387. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index.) Most histories of African Americans in the military focus on World War II or Vietnam. African American soldiers tell their own stories in Twice Forgotten, the first work to highlight such voices in Korean-conflict literature. This book bridges African American experiences between World War II and Vietnam and offers African American men's perceptions of military integration, thereby correcting for this absence in previous literature. Author David P. Cline's purpose is to discuss the Korean War from the standpoint of African American soldiers. The work starts in 1946 with the [End Page 603] beginnings of desegregation, discussing various types of small-unit integration and President Harry F. Truman's 1948 Executive Order 9981, which banned segregation in the military but did not integrate it. Cline's discussion of the complexities of desegregation, removing discrimination, and integration is excellent. The book then moves through 1950 to the July battlefront in Korea and ends with the soldiers' return and how they influenced the civilian world, a period of rapid change. Cline's framework is chronological. He uses oral testimonies that he and his team collected for American RadioWorks, the documentary arm of American Public Media. The wide array of testimonies cover all military branches except the Coast Guard. The testimonies are eloquent, bracketed with explanatory context, and illustrate the pain experienced by African American soldiers who worked against bias while defending the country. Testimonies from Texas soldiers illustrate the state's unique racial landscape, with examples from East Texas revealing harsher examples of harassment and Jim Crow than those from the western part of the state. Cline's writing is nuanced, and throughout the work is readable. Impeccably researched, the book does justice to its subject matter. Nevertheless, readers will not find an evaluation of the courts-martial for misconduct under Article 93 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (failure to obey orders) wrongfully inflicted on the 24th Infantry Division and 159th Field Artillery Battalion. This book is still invaluable because the voices of the men who were there give readers an authentic sense of battle and being prisoners of war; the latter experience especially is new in the literature. These men fought a dual war against bigotry, both in war and at home. This work documents their experiences in their own words.

Faculty diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic dentistry: Has dental education missed the call of #MeToo?

Faculty, students, and staff experience sexual harassment in the workplace and educational environment. Frequently, the victim takes no action either due to a lack of understanding of their rights or concern about retaliation or adverse outcomes if an incident is reported. The #MeToo movement has enhanced awareness of sexual harassment and its impact on victims. However, dental institutions vary in their approach to creating an environment free from harassment and supportive of individuals subject to inappropriate or illegal behaviors. In this article, four vignettes provide examples of harassment, mistreatment, or bias. Common themes and critical issues within the vignettes are then identified, discussing the potentially illegal, unethical, inappropriate, and unprofessional behaviors and comments. Strategies to address the issues identified are described. Recommendations are also provided to assist dental institutions and educators in evaluating their current practices and policies and implementing change.

State-aligned misogynistic disinformation on Arabic Twitter: The attempted silencing of an Al Jazeera journalist

AbstractA product of the global rise of right-wing populism has been a seeming normalisation of gendered public disinformation, which portrays female public figures as unintelligent, untrustworthy, irrational, and libidinous. Social media has also allowed gendered disinformation to be used in targeted harassment campaigns that seek to intimidate and shame women, reducing their public visibility through psychological violence. Despite this, very few studies on social media involving the Arabic language have explored in detail this phenomenon in the Persian Gulf, despite numerous examples of harassment against women public figures. Since 2017, women journalists critical of regional governments have been subjected to increased attacks online, but none as intense as the attack on Al Jazeera anchor Ghada Oueiss in June 2020. Through keyword analysis, network analysis, and open-source intelligence techniques (OSINT), this paper highlights the intensity and scale of one such attack, identifying the increasing role of malinformation and disinformation in attempting to silence journalists. Such documentation can be useful in demonstrating the volume, velocity, and discursive nature of the attacks threatening women’s visibility online. This research also accounts for a potential mechanism of such attacks, which follow a playbook of: 1) leaking information through anonymous accounts, 2) co-opted or loyalist influencers amplifying the attacks, and 3) uncritical local media jumping on the attacks (breakout). From a transformative perspective, it is increasingly important that such attacks are documented, exposed, and analysed to provide evidentiary claims of such abuse. It also highlights the issues of such abuse in authoritarian regimes, who clamp down on online debate, except appear not to do so when the messaging reflects state propaganda.

“Bitch I Said Hi”: The Bye Felipe Campaign and Discursive Activism in Mobile Dating Apps

This article examines the Instagram page for Bye Felipe, a feminist campaign where people submit screenshots of examples of harassment and sexual entitlement from men on online dating sites such as OKCupid and apps such as Tinder. I frame the campaign as an example of feminist discursive activism. The site owners collect contributions and aggregate examples of particular discursive patterns in hook up apps, in order to make collective political claims, a strategy that Tomlinson calls “intensification.” I address the existing literature on cyber-misogyny and online harassment, and also research on previous similar campaigns such as Fedoras of OKCupid to discuss shaming as a political practice. I then draw out the patterns and concepts invoked in interventions and resultant discussions on Bye Felipe, examining the themes of rejection, silence and who has the right to silence, rape culture, and gendered sexual entitlement. I identify the political claims being made through the rhetorical strategies described in the first part of the article. Drawing on the work of McCosker on trolling as provocation, I discuss the role of repetition and rehearsal in the practice of discursive politics. Finally, through a discursive analysis of responses to the posts on Instagram and Facebook over time, I explore the ongoing and difficult boundary work around what constitutes appropriate examples for the site, and the articulation of feminist claims and discourses.

Purpose – This case study aims to describe a consultancy project where managers in a distribution centre of a major logistics company were developed to give them confidence to implement a new harassment and bullying policy.Design/methodology/approach – Included within the design was an action research project using a five‐stage scale defining the development of harassment and bullying. The new policy, the background to it and the development scale were introduced using group training methods.Findings – The study finds that during the follow‐up discussions and reports after the action research, managers reported that they could distinguish “good humoured banter” from harassment. They also distinguished more serious examples of harassment and bullying. In a four‐week period there were 21 incidents in the two lowest stages of harassment development and seven were in the higher stages. These even are of the level that may create a reportable incident. Follow‐up three months after the programme is also describ...

`No, We Don't Provide that Service': The Harassment of Hotel Employees by Customers

Whilst hotel management's rhetoric encourages staff to provide the best possible service by satisfying customers' needs, front line staff find themselves bearing the brunt of any abusive and sexual behaviour from customers. This article analyses the experience of harassment of hotel workers by customers. The specificities of the hotel space, the elusive sexuality that exists within the hotel, and the issue of ethnicity in relation to imbalances of power between the staff and the guest are all discussed using examples of harassment of hotel workers in a variety of workplaces and work roles. The article also explores how hotel workers deal with incidents of harassment, the complex ways in which they resist, and management reaction to harassment of their workers.
