Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay compares the failed secessionist movements of Juan Cortina in south Texas and Louis Riel in Manitoba. Johnson explains that Canada, the U.S., and Mexico “were intent on extinguishing competing sovereignties in the territory that they claimed as their own.” In the borderlands, followers of Cortina and Riel resisted incorporation into national communities in hopes of maintaining autonomy and self-governance, using some of the same liberal capitalist arguments as their oppressors. With the “imposition of Canadian and U.S. sovereignty in Cortina and Riel’s homelands,” “property regimes and legal systems further marginalize[d] ethnic Mexicans and Métis in both economic and political terms.” In both places resistance was ultimately overwhelmed, but “the tragedy lay not only in what befell these communities in a material sense, but also in the foreclosure of the possibility of equitable belonging that had once beckoned Juan Cortina, Louis Riel, and their countless followers.”

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
