Eileen J. Findlay (efindla@american.edu) is Associate Professor of History at American University in Washington, D.C. Her first book, Imposing Decency: The Politics of Sexuality and Race in Puerto Rico, 1870-1920 was published with Duke University Press. In her article, "Courtroom Tales of Sex and Honor: Rapto and Rape in Late-Nineteenth Century Puerto Rico", published in Sueann Caulfield, et al., eds, Honor, Status, and the Law in Modern Latin America (Duke, 2005), Findlay began to explore her current interest in laboring people's artistic and political shaping of oral narratives. She has continued these investigations through her development of two oral history projects, one with Cuban ex-revolutionaries living in Miami, Florida, and the other with Nuyorican return migrants to Puerto Rico. Findlay is also in the midst of writing a second book manuscript entitled "Bregando the Beet Fields, Dreaming of Domesticity: Post-War Puerto Rican Masculinity, Rural Labor Migration, and Colonial Populism, 1940-1960."
