From the Paper
"Golden States is a coming-of-age novel, wherein the central character is concerned with asserting his manhood. At the same time that David watches his body transform through puberty, he faces a challenge to his protection of his family when Janet's fiance appears at the house and eventually convinces her to return with him to San Francisco. In response to this threat to his family's unity, David sets out in the middle of the night on a quest to travel to San Francisco and bring his sister back with him. Armed with his mother's gun, he crosses the freeway and buys a bus ticket. On the way to San Francisco he encounters many obstacles, including being nearly seduced by a man who gives him a lift, and eventually being taken into police custody as a runaway. Though he is unsuccessful in retrieving his sister, he does triumph in chasing one of the coyotes away from the yard. This achievement, it appears, is a small victory. "

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the arguments made in the documents The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability by P. Kornbluh, Toward an Alternative Conceptualization of South American Politics by G. O'Donnell, and Political Leadership and Regime Breakdown: Brazil by A. Stepan. The conclusion drawn in the essay is that none of the arguments made explain the ultimate cause behind the overthrow of the governments being discussed.

From the Paper
Breakdown in Democracy in Latin America Democratic breakdowns occurred throughout South America during the 1960s and 1970s. Political coups occurred in these countries, all for varying stated reasons for the collapse of their political systems. Guillermo O'Donnell posits a structuralist explanation for the collapse of the Brazilian and the Argentinean political systems, which created an imbalance between classes that was essentially insurmountable. Alfred Stepan, by contrast, effectively lays the blame on the leadership of the respective countries. Finally, Peter Kornbluh suggests that the reasons behind the collapse of these countries' systems came from external

Abstract
The following paper will look at the treatment of women within Muslim society by critiquing three scholarly articles found in online dossiers available to students of this course. The paper will note the significant issues raises by each author, the impact of certain items upon Muslim women, the political, legal, economic, cultural, or religious/ideological factors which seem to perpetuate these factors, and some shortcomings of the assembled works. In the end, each of the three articles offers some important insights - but all of them tend to be lacking when it comes to providing practical solutions for turning things around.

Abstract
The writer examines how rhetoric, purpose, audience and context shapes six articles: Michael White, Ewen MacAskill and Richard Norton-Taylor's, "Downing Street Admits Blunder on Iraq Dossier," an anonymous article carried by CNN.com entitled, "UK Accused of Lifting Dossier Text," Jacques Steinberg's, "Times' 2 Top Editors Resign after Furor on Writer's Fraud," Anne Mullens,' "Cheating to Win," Peter Kent's, "A Sign of Societal Rot?" and Michael Den Tandt's, "Times' Atonement Smacks of Overkill."

From the Paper
"In "The Digital Person", Daniel J. Solove elucidates the societal effects of what he terms the digital dossier, compilations of online information that exist about each of us in the hands of multiple businesses and government agencies. Solove writes that this growing phenomenon has serious implications for individuals and society, and that it must be addressed to mitigate cultural problems now and in the future, such as a loss of individual freedom and self-expression. Solove advocates enacting laws that restructure the architecture or..."

Abstract
In this paper the author describes the reasons why she had to resign from her university post. She considers herself a Native American, despite her being Jewish. The author goes on to tell her story, why she was made to resign from her post in the Native American studies department. She also recommends, for all academics who are trying to get tenure, to ask a few pertinent questions of their departments before even applying. For example, she suggests that a prospect should inquire among his prospective faculty colleagues if they think that the decolonization of Native peoples is a significant issue today. The author carries on discussing her bitter experiences, emphasizing that because she is not the classic Native American, she was discriminated against. She concludes that it is better to work with your colleagues and find a common understanding, than to try and fight them.

From the Paper
"Cornel Pewewardy calls for all of us to have a firm grounding in the discourse of the deconstruction of racial categories. He states that guilt and fear prevent too many from fully addressing the discourse and its ramifications "most of us are in denial about 'race' and 'hegemony' and do little committed thinking about race matters." Genocide and colonization are of course at the root of the guilt and fear; these historical processes will continue to erode every aspect of Native life until they are addressed both by dominant society and Native societies. Along with other Native academics and grassroots people, Pewewardy points to the need to "reach deep into the spiritual wells of our different religious traditions in order to draw strength and grace with which to address the challenges of healing and nation building." Implying that some of the current leadership may not be inclined or in position to do what he and others have called for, he also states that "Along with fresh leaders, a new leadership ethos grounded in tradition must be put in place, one that promotes accountability to the peoples through the revival of traditional decision-making procedures." My tenure experience, in addition to my experience of several reservations convinces me that too few of the people with power to influence the course of Native communities act from a Native ethos that is deeply concerned with reproducing Native values into the future."
