Maria McCann paints a dark picture of masculinity and its effects in her novel As Meat Loves Salt (2001). The violent Jacob Cullen struggles with his masculinity as he faces the intricacies of religion, sexuality and politics in the midst of the English Civil War where he falls in love with fellow soldier Christopher Ferris. By using R.W. Connell and James Messerschmidt’s framework for the hierarchy of masculinities, I explore masculinities on local, regional and global levels and emphasized femininity in a close reading of McCann’s novel. My aim is not only to analyse the masculinities of the novel but also to use the framework to redefine toxic masculinity in order to make it a useable concept when analysing masculinities in literature. I redefine toxic masculinity because it lacks a clear definition anchored in an established framework used to study masculinity that does not see masculinity as inherently toxic. I believe that anchoring it to Connell and Messerschmidt’s framework will make it a useable concept. Due to the novel’s relationship to the Bible, I will use masculinity studies done on David and Jesus from the Bible to compare and reveal similarities with the masculinities in the novel, how they appear on the local, regional and global levels in the novel and its effects. I draw parallels between the love story in As Meat Loves Salt to the love story of David and Jonathan in the Bible by using queer readings of David and Jonathan in order to explore how masculinity affects the relationships and how the novel uses these two love stories as a study of toxic masculinity and how it relates it to hegemonic masculinity.

The United States is home to a private prison industry, which allows for the detention of human beings to be transformed into a multi-billion dollar industry. This paper traces the parallels between the post-civil war convict leasing system and the current system of prison privatization, which encourages the commodification of black bodies in order to maintain a racial hierarchy. It analyzes the incompatibility of prison privatization with the US Constitution. Private prisons, which hold African American men at a higher rate that state-run prisons, take cost-cutting measures in order to increase profit, which expose prisoners to higher rates of abuse and increased recidivism rates. Private prisons have significant political power to determine crime control legislation, which has led to harsh laws which increase the number of men of color behind bars. This paper provides a three-phase plan for abolishing private prisons and reducing overall incarceration rates in the United States.

Os imigrantes metodistas americanos que chegaram ao Brasil em meados do século XIX na região de Piracicaba, são majoritariamente do sul dos Estados Unidos e, portanto, escravocratas. Encontram aqui não apenas a oportunidade de reconstruírem suas vidas devastadas pela guerra de secessão (1861-1865), como também uma nova possibilidade de reviverem seus ideais escravocratas, num país ainda escravagista. Com efeito, a presente dissertação versa sobre alguns aspectos importantes das relações destes imigrantes com a população afro-brasileira, priorizando o recorte histórico entre 1867-1930 e procurando destacar situações históricas na região de Piracicaba. Na tentativa de reconstituir possíveis anseios de liberdade dos afro-brasileiros, sua resistência e luta pela abolição, a pesquisa discute também o contexto de transição do país em face do liberalismo emergente na economia e na política, o que facilitou em muitos aspectos a inserção do protestantismo. Em face do exposto, a fundamentação teórica será feita a partir de autores como Boaventura de Souza Santos (2006), Frantz Fanon (1968;2008), Abdias do Nascimento (1978), Eugene Genovese(1983), Justus Gonzalez (2007), Antonio Gouveia Mendonça (2008), José Carlos Barbosa (2002), Júlio Chiavenato(1988), Eugene Harter (1985), Peri Mesquida (1994), Judith MacKnigth Jones (1967) entre outros. O distanciamento da missão metodista em relação às necessidades das populações afro-brasileiras demonstra que os metodistas direcionaram sua missão mais para si mesmos, como colônia e posteriormente, para as elites. As populações pobres, incluindo os afro-brasileiros da região, não foram contempladas. Isso pode explicar a ausência destes nas instituições metodistas até 1930 quando da autonomia da Igreja Metodista do Brasil em relação à Igreja Metodista Episcopal do Sul dos Estados Unidos.
