What Professor Valdes calls the "conflation" is the historic and contemporary confusion and distortion of sex, gender, and sexual orientation as social and legal constructs. As this Project makes clear, this conflation's long history and pervasive presence in our thinking and institutions combine to make it self-perpetuating and often invisible, but never absent. This confused and confusing history and status quo is what enables dominant forces to use the conflation-and more specifically the symbiotic roles of gender and sexual orientation within it-as a key means of achieving unprincipled and unwarranted results in sex and gender discrimination cases. To help discipline the uses of these three constructs in legal venues, this Project documents and unpacks how sex, gender, and sexual orientation are conceived and applied in tight relation to each other both intellectually and normatively. In this way, Professor Valdes invites and urges scholars, judges, and policymakers alike to assess critically both the conflation itself and its detrimental effects on law and society. Professor Valdes also highlights how the conflation both reflects and projects androsexist and heterosexist values-a phenomenon he calls heteropatriarchy-to emphasize the mutual interrelationship of these twin biases in the Euro-American sex/gender system. This Project's assessment of the conflation inexorably leads to the conclusion that the law cannot, and therefore will not, fulfill the nation's formal commitment to ending sex and gender discrimination while the conflation retains its force in legal culture. The Introduction and Foreword are intended not only to introduce the piece but also to summarize it. They also provide a roadmap of the piece so that readers may locate areas of particular interest. Chapter One provides a critical history of the conflation in Euro-American culture since the late nineteenth century, detailing its codification by the medical profession and its acceptance both by the sexual majority and by sexual minorities. Building on that history, Chapter Two traces the conflation's presence in and effect on the law of this nation. Focusing primarily on Title VII cases, Professor Valdes documents how courts have simultaneously embraced and denied aspects of the conflation, and in the process have rendered laws against sex and gender discrimination unjustifiably underinclusive. To provide a comparative perspective on the conflation, Chapter Three examines how Native American cultures conceptualized sex, gender, and sexual orientation in a relatively non-conflationary manner. The Native American example reveals that the conflation is socially constructed rather than natural, and provides a model for post-conflationary reform. Chapter Four gathers the lessons to be drawn from the first three chapters, while Chapter Five builds on these lessons in presenting principles to guide the reform of existing sex and gender anti-discrimination doctrine. Finally, the Afterword & Prologue closes the Project with a call for the initiation of Queer legal theory as a scholarly movement, and with some reflection on the role of that movement within critical legal thought and in legal culture generally. As with all good scholarship, our hope is that this piece will cause readers to examine the way(s) they think-in this case about sex, gender, and sexual orientation. Even for readers who disagree with Professor Valdes' suggestions for doctrinal reform, this Project presents overwhelming evidence of the conflation's widespread influence and negative impact on our society and legal system. Moreover, the Project presents a frame-work through which legal and social conceptions of sex, gender, and sexual orientation can be accurately and beneficially reexamined, free of conflationary influences. The clarity enabled by the deconstruction of the conflation presented here is essential in our nation's attempt to confront the pressing issues surrounding the roles and rights of women and sexual minorities. A final note: the publication of this Project in a law review is almost as unusual as the scope and depth of the Project itself. We believe the significance this piece has to the law and to society in general warrants its publication in a forum not generally reserved for works of this length. This law review's two-year association with Professor Valdes and this Project is a testament to the potential of the faculty/student relationships borne of necessity from student-edited journals. We made the decision to publish the Project when parts of it were not yet finished drafts, in itself an unusual decision. As Professor Valdes wrote and rewrote, we had the privilege of sharing in an academic creation on a much more conceptual and personal level than is the norm. While this Project taxed the Review to its limits, it also was tremendously rewarding. We hope it has the impact it merits, both in its current form and as a book based on this work, which will be published by New York University Press in 1996-97.

This Note explores the historical justifications for the law's creation of a special status for sexual partners, as revealed in court decisions assessing the validity of marriages in which "normal" intercourse was allegedly refused or impossible. While those justifications revolve around the procreative potential of intercourse, it is the desire to limit procreation, rather than encourage it, that courts have invoked: The State's concern has been illegitimacy. Today, the prevalence and widespread acceptance of extramarital sex and birth control, accompanied by heightened respect for reproductive privacy, have rendered anachronistic the conception of marriage as a regulator of sex. The societal interests that remain are only loosely linked to intercourse, if at all: enforcing support obligations and stabilizing family units. Thus the continuing assumption that marriage is sexual--at the heart of the same-sex marriage debate and still embodied in law--has outlived its usefulness.

The analysis reveals that the courts have tended (a) not to recognize how social conditions shape women's reproductive choices, (b) to promote fathers' rights more than mothers' rights, (c) to ignore the social relationships that constitute childbearing and child rearing and value men's over women's biological contribution to these processes, (d) to reflect certain assumptions about the proper roles of mothers and fathers, and (e) to privilege the nuclear family. The implications of developing reproductive technology policy for an understanding of the relationships among gender, reproductive technologies, and the state are considered, and recommendations for the equitable regulation of these technologies are offered.

In it, I investigate the language of all such recorded decisions over the past 50 years, focusing on how judges--in interaction with the litigants before them--construct, negotiate, deny, and confirm the sexual and familial identities of the parents and would-be parents involved in these custody contests. Employing a constitutive framework and drawing on the social, scientific, and feminist literatures on sexuality, family, and law, I find that through multiple discursive processes, from self-representation to imposition to negotiation of new spaces of compromise, family law actors bring together sexual and familial statuses often treated as exclusive of each other.

The author urges that such a statutory requirement is necessary to more fully effectuate the idea that "adoption imitates nature," a postulate of adoption law originating in Roman jurisprudence and, so the author contends, underlying adoption law in this country. The article raises interesting questions concerning the very nature of adoption, the function which it serves in our society, and the possible policy differences between minor and adult adoptions.

In this effort, the concept of race is central both to identifying and to rectifying the effects of prejudice. Various economic and social benefits, for example, are awarded based upon injuries and solutions defined with reference to racial categories. Race and ethnicity, however, are today recognized as being largely social constructs with little empirical or scientific basis. This dichotomy between the importance of race classification to anti-discrimination law and its fundamental indeterminacy creates what the author calls a core dilemma of modern race-conscious law: the difficulties of how we "administer race." He explores two related questions bearing on this dilemma. How should the law-indeed, can the law-intelligibly define the nature and boundaries of the groups to whom remedial preferences are addressed? Furthermore, can the law "accurately" sort individuals into these groups once they have been defined? The author explores the approaches several different group conscious programs and legal regimes have taken in attempting to deal with these questions, from methods employed in sex and Native American classification to the systems of classification used in the Jim Crow South, in modern India and in South Africa during the apartheid era.

Her newfound freedom heralded a radical change in American culture.<br><br>Whisking us from the Alabama country club where Zelda Sayre first caught the eye of F. Scott Fitzgerald to Muncie, Indiana, where would-be flappers begged their mothers for silk stockings, to the Manhattan speakeasies where patrons partied till daybreak, historian Joshua Zeitz brings the era to exhilarating life. This is the story of America’s first sexual revolution, its first merchants of cool, its first celebrities, and its most sparkling advertisement for the right to pursue happiness.<br><br>The men and women who made the flapper were a diverse lot. <br><br>There was Coco Chanel, the French orphan who redefined the feminine form and silhouette, helping to free women from the torturous corsets and crinolines that had served as tools of social control. <br><br>Three thousand miles away, Lois Long, the daughter of a Connecticut clergyman, christened herself “Lipstick” and gave New Yorker readers a thrilling entrée into Manhattan’s extravagant Jazz Age nightlife.<br><br>In California, where orange groves gave way to studio lots and fairytale mansions, three of America’s first celebrities—Clara Bow, Colleen Moore, and Louise Brooks, Hollywood’s great flapper triumvirate—fired the imaginations of millions of filmgoers.<br><br>Dallas-born fashion artist Gordon Conway and Utah-born cartoonist John Held crafted magazine covers that captured the electricity of the social revolution sweeping the United States.<br><br>Bruce Barton and Edward Bernays, pioneers of advertising and public relations, taught big business how to harness the dreams and anxieties of a newly industrial America—and a nation of consumers was born.<br><br>Towering above all were Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, whose swift ascent and spectacular fall embodied the glamour and excess of the era that would come to an abrupt end on Black Tuesday, when the stock market collapsed and rendered the age of abundance and frivolity instantly obsolete.<br><br>With its heady cocktail of storytelling and big ideas, <i>Flapper</i> is a dazzling look at the women who launched the first truly modern decade.

Into this common portrayal, Against the Romance of Community introduces an uncommon note of caution, a penetrating, sorely needed sense of what, precisely, we are doing when we call upon this ideal. <P>Miranda Joseph explores sites where the ideal of community relentlessly recurs, from debates over art and culture in the popular media, to the discourses and practices of nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, to contemporary narratives of economic transformation or "globalization." She shows how community legitimates the social hierarchies of gender, race, nation, and sexuality that capitalism implicitly requires. <P>Joseph argues that social formations, including community, are constituted through the performativity of production. This strategy makes it possible to understand connections between identities and communities that would otherwise seem to be disconnected: gay consumers in the U.S. and Mexican maquiladora workers; Christian right "family values" and Asian "crony capitalism." Exposing the complicity of social practices, identities, and communities with capitalism, this truly constructive critique opens the possibility of genuine alliances across such differences. <P>Miranda Joseph is associate professor of women's studies at the University of Arizona.

Discrimination has been prohibited in several states, dozens of municipalities, and more than two hundred private companies, while hate crime laws in eight states have been amended to include gender identity. Yet prejudice and violence against transgender people remain all too common. With analysis from legal and policy experts, activists and advocates, Transgender Rights assesses the movement’s achievements, challenges, and opportunities for future action. Examining crucial topics like family law, employment policies, public health, economics, and grassroots organizing, this groundbreaking book is an indispensable resource in the fight for the freedom and equality of those who cross gender boundaries. Moving beyond media representations to grapple with the real lives and issues of transgender people, Transgender Rights will launch a new moment for human rights activism in America.

From passports and identity cards to labor registration and alien documentation, from fingerprinting to much-debated contemporary issues such as DNA-typing, body surveillance, and the catastrophic results of colonial-era identity documentation in postcolonial Rwanda, <i>Documenting Individual Identity</i> offers the most comprehensive historical overview of this fascinating topic ever published.</p><p>The nineteen essays in this volume represent the collaborative effort of historians, sociologists, historians of science, political scientists, economists, and specialists in international relations. Together they cover a period from the emergence of systematic practices of written identification in early modern Europe through to the present day, and a geographic range that includes Europe, the Soviet Union, North and South America, and Africa. While the book is attuned to the nefarious possibilities of states' increasing capacity to identify individuals, it recognizes that these same techniques also certify citizens' eligibility for significant positive rights, such as welfare benefits and voting.</p><p>Unprecedented in subject and scope, Documenting Individual Identity promises to shape a whole new field of research that crosses disciplinary boundaries and is of broad public and academic significance.

It explains how the concept of citizenship has been used over the past 200 years to delineate rights and penalties regarding property, liberty, taxes and welfare. Focusing on the United States and Western Europe, it combines theory and empirical data in questioning how and why states have established the exclusive right to authorize and regulate the movement of people.

James C. Scott analyzes diverse failures in high-modernist, authoritarian state planning-collectivization in Russia, the building of Brasilia, compulsory ujamaa villages in Tanzania, and others-and uncovers conditions common to all such planning disasters. What these failures teach us, he argues, is that any centrally managed social plan must recognize the importance of local customs and practical knowledge if it hopes to succeed.
