The Prohibition Era
Abstract
This chapter reviews the book Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights (2006), by Kenji Yoshino. According to Yoshino, the repression of a minority does not end when it is permitted to exist in society, and is no longer forced to “convert” to some other way of being and acting. Nor does it end when members of the group are not expected to “pass,” concealing their minority identity from all but chosen intimates. Even when minorities, such as women and African Americans, who reveal their group membership openly are tolerated, they are often required to assimilate in ways that “cover” that identity. Yoshino argues that the story of any minority's progress can be charted by examining these three stages: first, the demand for conversion; second, the demand for “passing”; and third, the demand for “covering”.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
