While not for the first time, educators are finding themselves at the center of political controversies as their pedagogies, content, and even profession is questioned, critiqued, and in some cases, banned. Also not the first occurrence, protesting has become one way targeted educators, students, and community members respond to and resist these top-down attacks. For some, these involve taking to the streets, organizing or joining protest efforts with high, public-facing visibility. For others, protests manifest as the books and content they continue to teach or the use of a student’s preferred pronouns.

At a time when some are attempting to rewrite the Humanities, it might be questioned as to how archives can not only be preserved but also utilized to fight for the future. Children’s and Young Adult Literature and Culture are deeply shaped by questions of memory, authority, and cultural transmission. Contributors are encouraged to consider the archive as an ever-evolving site of power that governs inclusion, exclusion, and interpretation. One might posit questions such as How do archival practices shape the stories available to young readers, and how might authors, educators, and scholars work against inherited silences and erasures?
The Lamar Journal of the Humanities is an interdisciplinary journal published annually by the College of Arts and Sciences of Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. Papers of interdisciplinary or general interest in the fields of literature, history, contemporary culture, and the fine arts are appropriate for submission. Languages accepted are English, Spanish, German, and French. Detailed studies of highly specialized topics, literary explications which do not elucidate broader historical or ideological issues, and statistical essays in the social sciences are not encouraged but will be considered. Manuscripts, normally not to exceed 6,000 words, should conform to the MLA Handbook or the Chicago Manual of Style.

The “modern” disentanglement of the realms of subject and object, culture and nature, as Bruno Latour insightfully observes in We Have Never Been Modern (1993), is most evident in the former colonies of the Global South like the Bengal Delta since the entire colonial project in these locations depended on the colonizers’ privileged access to native human bodies and the non-human nature.
