    While coming up with their rationale they looked the case of Hawaii Housing Authority v. Midkiff. In that case land was taken from lessors and given to lessees for just compensation to reduce the concentration of land ownership. They ruled that the state’s purpose of eliminating the “social and economic evils of a land oligopoly” was a valid reason for public use (Kelo). The court’s ruling for this case said that it would be “incongruous” to hold that the city’s interest in economic benefits to be derived from developing the Fort Trumbull area. The government’s pursuit for a public purpose will more than often benefit private parties.…

    Drowning In Fire Analysis

    Both Craig Womack’s novel “Drowning in Fire” and Gloria Anzaldúa’s semi-autobiographical work “Borderlands” explore the intersection between queer and Indian identities. One specific way that Womack and Anzaldúa focus on these identities is through the tension between native religions and Christianity in the lives of modern natives. Both authors come up with a compelling narrative of what it is like to be native and queer in the face of an institutionalized product of Western conquest like Christianity that attempts to erase both of those identities. When read in unison with theory from Gloria Anzaldúa’s “Borderlands,” Craig Womack’s “Drowning in Fire” uses the religious journeys of Lucy and Josh to paint Christianity as an oppressive and…
