Domestic Economies

Women, Work, and the American Dream in Los Angeles

By: Susanna Rosenbaum

In Domestic Economies, Susanna Rosenbaum examines how two groups of women—Mexican and Central American domestic workers and the predominantly white, middle-class women who employ them—seek to achieve the "American Dream." By juxtaposing their understandings and experiences, she illustrates how immigrant and native-born women strive to reach that ideal, how each group is indispensable to the other's quest, and what a vital role reproductive labor plays in this pursuit. Through in-depth ethnographic research with these women at work, at home, and in the urban spaces of Los Angeles, Rosenbaum positions domestic service as an intimate relationship that reveals two versions of female personhood. Throughout, Rosenbaum underscores the extent to which the ideology of the American Dream is racialized and gendered, exposing how the struggle for personal worth and social recognition is shaped at the intersection of motherhood and paid employment.

Tracing the Autobiographical

By: Marlene Kadar,Susanna Egan

The essays in Tracing the Autobiographical work with the literatures of several nations to reveal the intersections of broad agendas (for example, national ones) with the personal, the private, and the individual. Attending to ethics, exile, tyranny, and hope, the contributors listen for echoes and murmurs as well as authoritative declarations. They also watch for the appearance of auto/biography in unexpected places, tracing patterns from materials that have been left behind. Many of the essays return to the question of text or traces of text, demonstrating that the language of autobiography, as well as the textualized identities of individual persons, can be traced in multiple media and sometimes unlikely documents, each of which requires close textual examination. These “unlikely documents” include a deportation list, an art exhibit, reality TV, Web sites and chat rooms, architectural spaces, and government memos, as well as the more familiar literary genres—a play, the long poem, or the short story. Interdisciplinary in scope and contemporary in outlook, Tracing the Autobiographical is a welcome addition to autobiography scholarship, focusing on non-traditional genres and on the importance of location and place in life writing. Read the chapter “Gender, Nation, and Self-Narration: Three Generations of Dayan Women in Palestine/Israel” by Bina Freiwald on the Concordia University Library Spectrum Research Repository website.

Business Improvement Districts and the Contradictions of Placemaking

Business Improvement Districts and the Contradictions of Placemaking

BID Urbanism in Washington, D.C.

By: Susanna F. Schaller

The “livable city,” the “creative city,” and more recently the “pop-up city” have become pervasive monikers that identify a new type of urbanism that has sprung up globally, produced and managed by the business improvement district and known colloquially by its acronym, BID. With this case study, Susanna F. Schaller draws on more than fifteen years of research to present a direct, focused engagement with both the planning history that has shaped Washington, D.C.’s segregated landscape and the intricacies of everyday life, politics, and planning practice as they relate to BIDs. Schaller offers a critical unpacking of the BID ethos, which draws on the language of economic liberalism (individual choice, civic engagement, localism, and grassroots development), to portray itself as color blind, democratic, and equitable. Schaller reveals the contradictions embedded in the BID model. For the last thirty years, BID advocates have engaged in effective and persuasive storytelling; as a result, many policy makers and planners perpetuate the BID narrative without examining the institution and the inequities it has wrought as BID urbanism has oiled the urban gentrification machine. Schaller sheds light on these oversights, thus fostering a critical discussion of BIDs and their collective influence on future urban landscapes.

Happiness Foowey....Run!

By: Susanna Newton

What may seem to be a romance is not at all what this novel is actually about. This fictional book contains a little of everything, not so much for just the females any longer, Romance, mystery, comedy, deceit, adventure as this small framed woman becomes the night mare for this all American famous Bounty/PI who was first assigned to her case with twists and turns enough to make you sit on the edge of the seat wanting, needing to know whats next in this triangle of love/hate. Oh yes there are plenty of women who are known as Man eaters but this small town girl comes packing ready for each and every battle this handsome egotistical man brings, is she the victim or does she have something else in mind through out the series of this roller coaster ride of adventure that never seems to end. Susies journey down the road of heaven and hell continues finding Roberts brother Paul has a twin brother adding further turmoil and harm to this already hell filled life others thought to be a life of leisure. A few times Susie almost calls it quits but something was guiding her to find the truth that is not yet revealed, actually causing her to feel it was more of a duty to find the truth rather than just wanting this relationship to work. A true friend comes into the picture in this second novel of the Murray series helping provide strength but also provides the means to turn the mind games around during this journey of unjust circumstances. Can this friend be called an angel or is he just in it for the hell of it?
