On page 192 of the article by Hemphill,1 the word “any” was used where “many” should have been. The original wording is: “During a period when any people still embraced the idea that political activism was men’s rightful domain, male progressives’ close partnerships with women’s groups made them vulnerable to being characterized as feminized and unmanly.” The correct wording should be: “During a period whenmany people still embraced the idea that political activism was men’s rightful domain, male progressives’ close partnerships with women’s groups made them vulnerable to being characterized as feminized and unmanly.”

Abstract This article examines American travel and performance in Britain in the decades prior to the First World War, arguing that the expression of nationality in this transatlantic context played a profound role in formulating both America’s dominant culture and a culture of opposition advanced by African American performers. It explores this “oppositional” culture in detail, focusing on the transatlantic work of Ida B. Wells and the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Both found a sympathetic audience across the Atlantic at a time of increased repression at home. British support opened new avenues for these activists, but also limited the rhetorical possibilities of their work. By bringing into conversation previously separate historiographies on early waves of “Americanization,” the transnational dimensions of various reform movements and the international formation of the Black Atlantic, it illustrates the economic, infrastructural, and racial inequalities that shaped the United States’ emerging national culture.

In Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles: Americans in Nineteenth-Century Fiji, Nancy Shoemaker successfully weaves the history of nineteenth-century Fiji and its extraterritorial Americans into a cohesive story that illuminates the role of Fiji in the “ political evolution of the United States ” (16). Shoemaker argues that the United States ’ s extraterritorial machinations began significantly earlier than many think, and the case of Fiji therefore greatly extends the geography of American imperialism and pushes its temporal bounds backward several generations. Equally important, imperialist patterns first practiced in the Cannibal Isles can be used to understand U.S. actions long after its involvement in Fiji: “ The value of extraterritoriality and the government protection afforded extraterritorial Americans pushed the United States to enlarge its global scope and power ” (17). ” in straight-forward, linear narrative, U.S. and tethers Shoemaker ’ s to

Robert Hellyer ’ s new book Green with Milk and Sugar: When Japan Filled America ’ s Tea Cups exemplifies the surprising insights that can emerge from transnational research. Hellyer brings his expertise in Japanese history and his own family history to a study of tea that spans the Pacific (and at times the Atlantic) Ocean. By using commodity chains to trace the changing relationships between American consumers and Asian producers, he reveals a fascinating history of the beverage that most Americans more likely associate with the American Revolution than Japan. Hellyer convincingly argues that Americans have had a long and complex relationship with green and black tea that has nothing to do with the Boston Tea Party. Rather, he demonstrates, American tea consumption has a storied history shaped by events ranging from internal immigration debates to Japanese political changes and racialized advertising campaigns. In turn, the rise and fall of green tea in the United States shaped tea consumption in Japan. This slim volume will interest not only tea lovers but those interested in the intertwined histories of the United States and Japan.Hellyer ’ s book is organized into six chronological chapters that cover the history of what he terms “ teaways ” in both Japan and the United States from the eighteenth century to the present. Each chapter interweaves the history of members of his own family, who exported Japanese tea to Britain and later the United States, with Japanese counterparts, who produced and marketed Japanese tea. But he considers the experiences of many others, from the women who refined the tea to the brokers who sold it and the American wives who purchased it. Throughout it all, he illuminates everything from the gendering of teaways in the United States to the evolving packaging and sale of tea. Overall, Hellyer makes a compelling case for the significance of tea to the economic and cultural history of the United States and Japan. Hellyer ’ s first chapter explores and in

Abstract Digitization of archival materials has made it easier not only to analyze queer history during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, but also to include these sources in the classroom. For instructors interested in incorporating queer history into their classrooms, this piece highlights specific examples of these queer primary sources and what they reveal about the queer past. Focusing specifically on criminal statutes, legal records, newspaper articles, medical discourse, and firsthand accounts, this introduction to queer archival sources emphasizes how these sources can be incorporated into class lectures and discussions, as well as directing attention to where similar examples can be found online in digital archives and databases.

Abstract In the history of the Gilded Age and its geopolitics, Henry Adams has a reputation for being an imperialist. While not universally subscribed to by historians, this characterization has waxed sufficiently as to eclipse Adams’s more complex, even contradictory, record on the American Empire. The evidence I will marshal will not prove that Adams was actually an anti-imperialist, but it will reveal the protean nature of Adams’s views of the American Empire. To get a grip on this relatively unexamined aspect of Adams’s thought, I will analyze his correspondence during the last decade of the nineteenth century in which he criticized the extension of American power across the Pacific, particularly in regard to its political economy, religion, and civilization. With the onset of the American Filipino War, Adams raged at the news of American atrocities. This paper shows that Adams’s outrage was part of an incipient civilizational ideology, one that neither materialized into an attachment to the anti-imperialist cause nor accepted the vaunted superiority of the West. Even though Adams possessed no principle to guide his thinking on the empire, his pessimistic evaluation of the extension of American power is enough to reconsider his reputation as an imperialist.
