I was surprised by Kate’s research yielding few other results aside from the article which we read in class. Even Navajo woman Marilou Schultz was unaware of Fairchild’s conscription of Navajo women for circuit construction. This disparity between historical fact and what actually gets recorded as the standard historical narrative demonstrates the preponderant issue of exclusivity in history. No one will forget the efforts of Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce to develop the integrated circuit; however,the nameless workers who actually labored to build them are swept aside. Unfortunately, this issue is almost impossible to avoid because telling a certain narrative of history intrinsically excludes others. Thankfully, people like Lisa Nakamura are taking strides to ensure that all stories get told the way they should be.
