This chapter examines the role Black women volunteers played as immune nurses in the Spanish-Cuban-American War. To enlist black women’s care labor in the Cuban conflict, army physicians relied on the myth of the plantation nurse, a figure whose biological and thus racial immunity from yellow fever recalled forms of gendered subordination and sacrifice ritualized in U.S. slavery. Black leaders like Namahyoka Curtis helped to recruit immune nurses in New Orleans in the hope that their performances of patriotic service would secure greater citizenship rights for the greater African American community. The experiences of the nurses before, during, and after the conflict offer a counter historiography of the war, and shows how Black women self-consciously presented themselves as matrons of respectability whose labor and sacrifice entitled them to fair and equal treatment under the law.

This article presents a chronological timeline focused on the reparation policies carried out in Argentina since the end of the last military dictatorship in 1983 to the present. It illustrates their origin, starting with some few sectorized acknowledgments by public sector institutions until becoming a diverse regulation able to cover several cases. Such reparation policies have extended the compensation time frame, and by means of judicial interpretation, even the margins of the law. Finally, in the context of the expansion of reparation policies in Argentina, it is necessary to ask whether internal exile should be considered as a case that needs to be regulated, taking into account the loss of rights and the damage inflicted on those who suffered it. For this purpose, a series of interviews with different victims were conducted.
