- W2023826667 abstract "I occasionally experience myself as a cluster of flowing currents. I prefer this to the idea of a solid self, the identity to which so many attach so much significance. These currents, like the themes of one's life, flow along during the waking hours, and at their best, they require no reconciling, no harmonizing. --Edward Said The past has no beginnings and endings, but the stories we tell about it must and do. Our plots depend on where we choose to start and stop the tale. This commentary is about my own desire to understand how identities first emerge and then change over time. --Jacquelyn Dowd Hall (writing on Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin) The personal is political; the political is personal. --Feminist credo This year's annotated list of books, collections, annuals, special issues, articles, essays, and dissertations about life writing covers the period 1999 to Fall 2000.
